Hi friends! Today I am a guest designer for the Pinkfresh Studio March 2020 Essentials Slim Cuts Release Blog Hop!!! I'm so happy you came to visit today. I think they asked me to participate (my first time with Pinkfresh) because I make so many slim-line cards. And I was very happy to get a chance to get my hands on these amazing new dies as Pinkfresh is the first company that I am aware of that has come out with dies for slim-line cards. Here is an image of all of the new dies: Today I have 2 cards to share with you using the new dies and some Pinkfresh Studio stamps. CARD 1: My first card uses the... 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!

Pretty Pink Posh New Spring Release
Today Pretty Pink Posh has debuted a new Spring release including baby products. I love that they introduced a baby line of products with Spring as it seems all things bloom and are new in Spring - even little ones! I just wish our world was more "springy" right now, but hopefully it will be back to normal soon. Today I have a few things to share with you showing off the new products. You can purchase the entire new product bundle for 10% off RIGHT HERE. Here is an image: There are two new baby stamp sets - one is a 4x6 set called Baby and the other is a 3x4 set called Little One.

"One Stamp, Five Ways" - SSS April 2020 Card Kit
Today is the release of the Simon Says Stamp April Card Kit called Follow the Rainbows. I have a "one stamp, five ways" post to share with you today, but it doesn't really qualify for that title. I think I should retitle this post "one kit, six ways"! I usually focus on the stamp set in a kit, but this time I have 4 of my watercolor cards in the kit, so I am using those as well which got me to 6 cards. Here is an image of the kit: There are several items that are sold alone in the kit including the 4x6" stamp set which is also called Follow the Rainbows. The Clouds for Days stencil is...

MFT New Release With Stacey Yacula's Sky High
Today is the newest MFT release and I have two cards to share with you using the newest stamp set by Stacey Yacula called Sky High. Here is an image of it: I think this one is so so cute (but I think ALL of her sets are so so cute which is why I work with them each month!). I wanted to make more cards with it, but I only got 2 done this time. Hopefully their cuteness factor will make this a quality over quantity post haha. CARD 1: My first card is a slim-line horizontal card. The measurements are 3.5" tall x 8.5" wide. I cut another piece to fit on the front and took 1/4" off... Read more →
