Today's post should not be called a "one stamp, five ways" post, but I'm calling it that anyway (sorry for the confusion) because I'm using one kit. But it actually has TWO stamp sets in it (one is full size and one is smaller).

My name is Suzy Plantamura. I live in sunny Orange County, California by the beach. I have three kids, one grand baby, and two dogs. I draw watercolor cards and design stamps for Simon Says Stamp. I have a blog series called "one stamp, five ways" that I post to two times a week. I want to motivate and inspire others to use their stamp sets more and learn new techniques. I love designing products and making cards to share with others!

"One Stamp, Five Ways" - SSS February Kit Coffee, Tea, and Cocoa
Today I get to highlight the brand new Simon Says Stamp February kit called Coffee, Tea, and Cocoa. Here is an image of the kit: It is sold as is or you can buy just the stamp set HERE or just the cute little coffee cup die HERE.

I cut out a piece of paper from one of the double sided patterned papers... Read more →
