Today's "one stamp, five ways" post is using one of my all time favorite SSS stamp sets called Sketch Lotus Flowers. I prepared this post a week ago and now the stamp, die, and bundle are all out of stock! So this is a really bad time to try and promote the set, but if you already have it (and apparently quite a few have sold), this might be a helpful post for you! I have six cards to share with you! Here is an image of the stamp set - it looks simple, but I found lots of ways to use that one image! Card 1: I always like to start with my favorite card. This is my random... Read more →
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 Summer Flowers
Hello stamping friends! Today's "one stamp, five ways" post uses an older floral set by Simon Says Stamp called Summer Flowers. You can purchase it alone, with the matching dies, or as a bundle. I've always wanted to use it and since they didn't have an August release, it was the perfect time to pull it out. (Note: but watch out for Stamptember coming to a theater near you soon!). If you visit regularly, I've talked a lot about my colored pencil obsession/preferences recently. I have always used Prismacolor, but I just bought a set of Faber Castelle. I'll do a review of both on an upcoming blog post for those interested - but the short message is I love... Read more →

"One Stamp, Five Ways" - SSS September Card Kit Sea Treasure
Today, Simon Says Stamps released their September Card Kit called Sea Treasure. And for someone like me that LOVES the sea, it is certainly a treasure! I was so excited when I got this box to create samples to make you want it too (hehehe). Mermaids are just so awesome and so fun to color. So today I have five cards to share with you focusing on the stamp set (as that is the whole point of my "one stamp, five ways" series), but also ONLY using the products in the kit. The stamp set is sold alone and is called Beautiful Mermaids. There is also a set of Beautiful Mermaid Dies to go with it (which I wish I... Read more →
