Welcome die cutters! Welcome to my Simon Says Stamp Making The Cut Series for June 2021! This month I am sharing this slimline beach scene card pairing Simon Says Stamp and Lawn Fawn dies to create an entirely die cut scene card. Two small stamped greetings round out this fun design! I'm sharing all the tips and tricks for my thought process and for altering some images to make them work the scale and size of this card. Let's get started!

Happy new week, friends! The July 2021 Simon Says Stamp card kit, Garden Greetings, is here!!!! Today I'm sharing this embossed background inked with SSS Fog Gray ink while embossed and then the raised areas colored in with Copic Markers. This is a similar technique to the embossed cards I shared with the new Rainbows Release, only those were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Check out those cards HERE. I love this technique!
The patterned papers, cardstocks, stamped greeting, die cut greeting, embossing folder, envelope, and adhesive for this beauty all come from the kit!!!

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing another rainbow-themed card featuring new stamps from the Simon Says Stamp Rainbows Release! The Repeating Rainbows Background was colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush pen for a faux watercolored effect! Simple stamped and die cut sentiments adhered to the card front and small heart accents keep the focus on the rainbows without covering up all that hard coloring work!

Hello friends! Popping in here with this week's recipients. :)
If you follow me on Instagram HERE you will know that I am doing a year-long series where I send out ten cards weekly to followers randomly selected from a Google Form my friend Lori Craig set up for me. I came up with this for a couple of reasons:
I have SO. MANY. CARDS. and not enough friends/family to send them to. You all are so kind and supportive of what I do here and on YouTube and I want to give back!
With how hard 2020 was it has reinforced in me that there's nothing like a handmade card in your mailbox to give a little sunshine to others. Not only does it brighten someone else's day, but it brightens MINE to share with you.
If you would like a chance to receive a card, please fill out the form HERE. I can not promise that I will be able to send a card to all of you. The response has exceeded my expectations. I already have over 1600 people signed up. But.... I do make a lot of cards every week so I am going to do my best! 🥰
NOTE One of the questions I receive the most is if I mail cards internationally. Yes I do! It may take a bit to get to you.
NOTEI have a favor to ask. When you're filling out the google doc form please make sure you add your state and/or zip code to your address. There have been several I skipped simply because it's time consuming to look up info and pray it's correct. I don't want you to miss your chance because of missing information. Thank you!
Every week I will do a little weekly recap with the list of cards I'm mailing out. Here are the cards I mailed this week. Please check weekly to see if you are expecting a card.
