STAMPtember….. It’s a Party with Simon Says Stamp

September 2, 2022

Hello Crafty friends! I am excited to be back today to PARTY with Simon Say Stamp! Today on the Simon Says Stamp blog there is so much inspiration from the Simon Designers and the Design Family and we wanted to party with you to kick off the start of STAMPtember! Be sure to check out the Simon Says Stamp blog, where you will find so much inspiration! There are many different gifts/promotions available – have fun seeing all the gorgeous new projects and checking out all the amazing promotions happening! I am sharing my promotion below! So let’s get started!

For my next project today I am sharing 2 new items from the new STAMPtember release: Pepperberry Bundles (Cut and Emboss Folder) and the Sassy Thankful Stamp set! I had a lot of fun creating today’s card and adding lots of texture!

I started my project with a piece of Canson watercolor cardstock. I started my adding several Distress Stain and Distress Oxide Sprays to the watercolor paper. (I have added the colors below). When working with sprays I work in layers, adding bits of color, adding water, drying with a heat tool, spritz with water and “pulling off” color with a paper towel. I repeat this process until my background has the colors/textures I am looking for. Once my panel was complete, I ran the paper through my die cutting machine using the new Pepperberry Embossing folder.

Once the panel was dry embossed I wanted to add more color and texture to the folder. I used my Zig markers to add more colors to the raised portions of the embossed panel. I trimmed the panel down using my paper trimmer. Next I used my distress tool to add texture to the card panel. I then applied ink to various edges of the panel. I also added embossing glaze to various sections of the card panel. I used Salvage Patina Embossing Glaze. I heat set the glaze using my heat tool.

Next I applied Distress Micro Glaze over the top using a blending tool. Then I added splatters using a white acryclic paint. To complete the card I stamped a sentiment from the new Sassy Thankful stamp set onto kraft card stock. Once the sentiment was stamped I roughed up the edges using my distress tool, applied ink and foundry wax for more detail and texture.

To complete the card I added a piece of Tim Holtz ribbon from my stash, as well as a button/twine. I encourage you to check out your stash for added textures for your card! I had a lot of fun using the new Pepperberry Folder! This folder also includes dies to cut Pepperberries! This folder has so many possibilities!

As I shared above, today is such a fun day and we are celebrating with a PARTY!!!!!!!! Be sure to check out the Simon Says Stamp blog for beautiful inspiration and check back often for STAMPtember details! Have fun checking out the AMAZING projects and be sure to have fun checking out all the promotions too! Here is mine!!!!!! Happy Crafty SHOPPING!!!!!!!

I applied the inks to the leaves in various colors and spritzed the stamp with water before stamping. I repeated the process until I had the colors I was looking for. Next I die cut them using the coordinating dies.  For the background I used the Margot Tile embossing folder! I adhered the layers together, added cheesecloth,  and cardboard behind the leaves for added texture. I completed the card with a sentiment and splatters!
