I'm so excited to share the Mama Elephant Skater Kids new limited edition exclusive stamp and die set for Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember! I created a watercolored background for the cute skater dog and stamped and embossed the greeting with white embossing powder on black cardstock to make it pop!
The images from the Skater Kid Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored in with Copic Markers. The individual marker colors are linked below in supplies and the marker number(s) are shown in the upper left corner of the screen in the how to video tutorial. Once the images were colored, they were die cut with the coordinating Skater Kid dies.
Happy Saturday! For those celebrating Labor Day, I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Today I have a Christmas themed card to share using the awesome "ink smooshing" technique. I used the Hero Arts Pen & Ink Christmas Tree Stamp for the watercolor resist background and finished with a stamped and embossed greeting and confetti in gold using the Hero Arts Joy To The World Stamps.
I trimmed the panel down to approximately 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered it to a card base using foam adhesive.
I finished the card with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins.

I stamped the hot air balloon, mouse, and mountain images from the Darling Friends Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored in the images with Copic Markers. The individual marker colors are linked below in supplies and shown in the upper left corner of the screen in the how to video. I inked up the trees with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, spritzed them with water from a Mini Mister, and stamped them on watercolor cardstock. I die cut all the images using the coordinating Darling Friends Dies.

Did you know about our #SimonBFF contest? For the last few months, we’ve asked you to hashtag your pets on social media with #SimonBFF so that we could choose a buddy for Simon and design a stamp set based around his new BFF. BOY OH BOY! It was so much fun to see all of your pets. Choosing Simon’s BFF was a lot harder than we had bargained for. With well over 1,000 fantastic pets to choose from, this happy little piggy seemed like the perfect companion for Simon. Simon’s BFF will be available for purchase Friday. Meet Dexter:
