Today is the release of the Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit called Snowflake Builder. I have a "one stamp, five ways" post to share with you. It was fun making non-holiday cards for the first time in a while. I do have to say though, that I will really miss all the glitter and sparkle I've been using. Luckily, this kit took advantage of all of the glittery supplies I still have out! Here is an image of the kit: You can purchase just the stamp set which is called Snowflake Builder also HERE. The snowflake die is also sold alone HERE. I focus primarily on using the stamp set for my cards. Card 1: I think I have... 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!

Making Backgrounds Ahead of Time - Installment 3
I've posted twice before about how I like to make my card backgrounds ahead of time. You can see my first post HERE and my second post HERE. Today is my 3rd Installment of making card backgrounds ahead of time using watercolors, texture paste, stencils, Distress Ink and Distress Oxide Inks. I have a lot of Easter and Spring stamps to use lately (being on SSS, PPP, and Hello Bluebird design teams), so I'm making primarily backgrounds that will work with Spring colors. So let's get started! WATERCOLORS: I love painting watercolored stripes on A2 card sizes of Ranger watercolor paper. I use the smooth side of this paper because it is the only true white watercolor paper I've ever... Read more →
