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 Blog Hop - Day 2
The new products from Pretty Pink Posh were released yesterday and are now available for purchase at either Pretty Pink Posh or at Simon Says Stamp.

"One Stamp, Five Ways" - Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit Home Sweet Home
Today I have a "one stamp, five ways" post to share with you using the brand new Simon Says Stamp July card kit called Home Sweet Home. Here is an image of the kit: As usual, I will be focusing on the 6x8" Home Sweet Home stamp set that is included in the kit and also sold alone. I have 5 cards to share with you below. CARD 1: This stamp set works really well on slim-line cards as the city scene stretches for about 7.5" long (although it can be cropped for smaller cards as well). I make my slim-line cards to be 8.5" x 3.5". If you cut a piece of cardstock to be 7" wide, you can... Read more →

MFT June 2020 New Product Release - Cards x 3
MFT has their June release today and I have 3 cards to share with you using my two favorite new stamp sets from the release. The first is by Stacey Yacula called Hooray Kind of Day and the second is called Sunny Vibes. Here are images of both stamp sets: CARD 1: I made this slim-line card in a vertical method for my first time ever. I thought it would be a good way to use ALL of the stamps in this set on one card. I started with a piece of cardstock cut to be 3.5" wide x 8.5" long. I applied Distress Oxide Ink over two different stencils. I used Waves and Hills with Mowed Lawn ink for... Read more →
