Hi friends! Today is the first day of the Simon Says Stamp new release called Sunny Days Ahead. That statement could definitely have 2 meanings and in my life it is currently the less desired one. It is SO sunny here - in the 90's this week and breaking all kinds of heat records. And I live a mile from the beach, but can't go - wahhh (I know, I know - I deserve no sympathy). But I, like most of you, am looking forward to the second meaning which is things improving on the health front. But enough of that - this is a happy blog hop! So let's get started... I have a new set of watercolor cards... 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 Special Edition Mothers Day Kit Celebrating You
Hello friends! Today I have a "one stamp, five ways" post to share with you using the BRAND NEW special edition card kit by Simon Says Stamp called Celebrating Mothers. These special edition kits sell out fast - just a warning because I care about you and what you want - hahaha (but true). This kit has a beautiful stamp set that I focused on called Mom's Meadow. Here is an image of the kit and the stamp set: CARD 1: I started this card by stamping the large grouping of flowers in the stamp set on the top and the bottom with white embossing powder. I added some of the smaller flowers to fill in around the grouping. I... Read more →

Hello Bluebird Spring Release
We have waited quite a while for another Hello Bluebird release (as I live for them haha!) and this one did not disappoint. With all of the "crazy" going on, it took a lot of time to bring this release to fruition and the dies are shipping a little after the stamps, but should be here soon. I personally fussy cut all mine out and it was so easy I might have to stop buying dies. I think I'm the only person who enjoys it though! I made four cards with the new sets, so let's get started! CARD 1: PICKED FOR YOU I made this card using the new Picked For You stamp set. I started by making the... Read more →
