Simon Says Stamp Friendly Frolic Blog Hop Day 1

Today is the first day of the 2-day Friendly Frolic new product release blog hop for Simon Says Stamp. I have a new stamp set as part of this release called More Good Vibes. The images in this stamp set were taken from my Good Vibes watercolor cards from the Good Vibe release last month. They were so popular (already sold out, but will be restocked), that they wanted me to turn them into stamps. This is a 6x8 stamp set - so it is BIG. Here is an image: Today I have a "one stamp, five ways" post to share with you using this stamp set. But because it is one I designed, I went a little cray cray... Read more →

Simon Says Stamp Friendly Frolic Release

Today is the Simon Says Stamp Friendly Frolic release. I love new releases, but especially when I have new products as part of the release. I have a new stamp set called More Good Vibes. If you liked my watercolor cards from the last release, you will love this set as it is images from those cards.

Today is the last day of a Pretty Pink Posh sale on one of their cute stamp and dies sets called Camping Friends. Here is an image of the set and details about the 25% off sale (ends tonight Sunday): I was lucky enough to receive this set in the mail last week, so I made a card to share with you. Their is LOTS of inspiration on Instagram using it as well - so many cute cards - just tap on the hashtag #prettypinkposh to see them all. I wanted to create a soft sunset for this scene. I started with the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Notes die from white cardstock to create the frame around the background. I... Read more →

Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit - "One Stamp, Five Ways"

Today I have a "one stamp, five ways" post for you using the new Simon Says Stamp August card kit called Mandy's Flowers. Whenever I do a card kit post, I like to focus on the stamp set since that is the point of my "one stamp, five ways" posts. I only used card kit products on each card though (except for some die-cuts which will be listed in the supplies below). Here is an image of the card kit in full and the stamp set: The stamp set is available for separate purchase as is the floral background stamp included in the kit! If you don't want to spend money on the entire kit, buying just the stamp is... Read more →

Pretty Pink Posh Design Team and Cherry Blossoms!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I have blogged. I have a good excuse though - I have been on vacation. We went to Hawaii for two weeks and spent half the time in Kauai and half the time in Maui. To say it was a good experience is an understatement. I am now looking for real estate on Kauai so I can move there permanently! Pretty Pink Posh announced their new design team yesterday. I am staying on for another term. I enjoy their products so much and working with them is a pleasure! So I will stay as long as they will have me. Here is the new team: Today I have four cards to share with... Read more →
