My card today features the new Shiny Baubles stamps. Coordinating dies are also available separately or as a bundle with the stamps.
I used three trios of Pawsitively Saturated Inks and a gray to stamp the ornaments:
Then I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. I cut out the images and sentiment and used foam tape to adhere them to a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ panel of white cardstock that I dry embossed using the Glistening Snowflakes embossing folder. To finish, I glued the panel to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Cornflower cardstock which I then glued to a top-folding A2 card base.
Hello and welcome! Today is day two of the Simon Says Stamp blog hop celebrating the Be Bold release and I’m very glad you’re here! If you’ve arrived from Lea Lawson’s blog, you’re right on track. And, if we haven’t met before you can find me here on my blog and also over on Instagram.
Using a die from the Nested Domed Arches die set, I cut out the flower, framing it within the arch. I stamped the sentiment, from the same stamp set, and then set the arched panel aside.
To assemble the card, I use foam tape to adhere the stamped piece on to the background and then glued the card front to a card base.
Happy Birthday
My second card features the new Lush Leaves die and Happy die. I cut the leaves four times, once from a light orange cardstock, once from a pink cardstock, and twice from white cardstock. I arranged them around a panel of white cardstock and used glue and foam dots to adhere them.
Next, I created the sentiment by cutting the detail layer from a dark pink cardstock and the shadow layer from white cardstock. I glued the two pieces together and added them to the panel with foam tape.
Last, I added a small stamped “birthday” sentiment before gluing the card front to a card base.

Hello, I hope you’re having a lovely day! It’s a little gloomy here but the Lots Of Luck stamp set from Simon Says Stamp is adding a hint of spring to my day. I used this sweet set with its coordinating dies which are also available in a bundle with the stamp set.
I started off by creating the background. I placed a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock in the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine, following the sandwich instructions that came with my machine. I turned the resulting panel over so that the smooth side, with indentations pushed down into the panel, was facing up and used a Tim Holtz Medium Distress Brayer to brayer Seafoam ink over the panel. Then I trimmed 3/8″ off both the length and width of the panel.
Next, I worked on the sentiment. I used the four-piece layering stencil set, large blending brushes, and Sweets, Watermelon, Blush, and Peony Pawsitively Saturated inks to create the colorful striped sentiment. The stencils are very easy to line up, especially with the registration marks that are at the corners of each stencil. And, each layer of the stencil includes two sentiments (the other is “thank you”) so it’s an easy two-for-one! I used the coordinating dies to cut out the sentiment, cut two more sentiment shapes from heavy white cardstock, and then glued the layers together to make a heavier and thicker piece.
To assemble the card, I used foam tape to adhere the embossed panel to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base and then glued on the sentiment.
