Party Time | Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

December 19, 2022

Hello Crafty friends I am super excited to be back today joining the team over at Simon Says Stamp for their Monday Challenge! This week the theme is Party Time! I had a lot of fun putting together an Anniversary card to celebrate our new theme this week! We can’t wait to see your take on this week’s theme! On today’s card I used a couple new goodies from Simon Says Stamp newest release – Hugs! So let’s get started!

I started today’s card with the awesome Jumbled Hearts Background stamp! I just love the style of this background stamp! I stamped the background onto Canson watercolor card stock. I stamped the image in embossing ink and heat set the background using white embossing powder. I then taped the background down onto a hard board. Next I added a bit of water to the paper, then added Industrial Chic Magicals in the color Time Travel Teal. I spritzed the background with additional water and allowed the panel to dry on it’s own. Once the background was dry, I added a bit more Time Travel Teal and Glitzy Gold powders to the background. I set the panel aside to dry.

Next I die cut the Love sentiment using Luxe Glitter card stock. WOW this paper is so pretty! I die cut the sentiment one time using the black glitter card stock and 2 more times using white card stock. I adhered the layers together using liquid glue.

I wanted to a pop of color to the card front to add more fun to our Party Theme! I chose a gelli print from my stash in shades of pink. I die cut the heart using the Dotted Heart die. I added a bit of gold powder for added texture and shine – WOW Karin’s Dream. Next I die cut the background using a rectangle die from my stash. I adhered the Jumbled Hearts Background onto an A2 card base using liquid glue. I popped up the love die cut, as well as the heart using foam tape. I added a sub sentiment to complete the card.

I had so much fun this month joining Simon Says Stamp and the amazing designers! Thank you for having me! I can’t wait to see your Party Time cards! I have another idea for this week’s theme as well! I am hoping to get a little more crafty time in so I can give it a go!

Thank you so much to the Simon Says Stamp team for having me guest this month on the Monday Challenge blog! I am super excited to be here and for this month’s amazing theme’s and projects!

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a page i Hello crafty friends!  Today I am sharing a page in my ATC journal. I had so much fun playing with foam stamps from @joggles to create backgrounds! The backgrounds were created using a mix of acrylic paint and watercolors. I then stamped on each background using a combination of foam stamps: Punchinella Dots, Number Stack, and Alpha Stack.  I was able to create textures using these stamps with both paint and water.

The backgrounds were used to create today’s project! Be sure to check out the collection of foam stamps @joggles - they are really cool and have a lot of possibilities!

For my project today I am using the beautiful Floral Elements stamp and coordinating die set! I started by creating ink smooshed backgrounds using Distress Ink. I then stamped and heat embossed the florals and leaves. I then die cut them with the new coordinating dies. I added more depth and color using Distress Watercolor Pencils. I created the background panel using the Blue Palette Paper Collection, as well as a baseboard frame, and the blossom field embossing folder. I completed the project with a Tiny Text sentiment and die cut using the new coordinating sentiment strip dies! I love the new shapes in this die set!
