Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Masterpiece Box Blog Hop!
A collection of the industry's finest releases in one incredible box. This Masterpiece box has a little of everything and a lot of inspiration. But don't wait! This box is a very limited time offer. You can receive products before the brands release!
Supplies are LIMITED. Once we sell out of the Masterpiece Box, we will NOT be restocking.
We started taking preorders for the Tim Holtz Crazy Dog stamps last week. Since this stamp set is included in the box, anyone who purchased the box can cancel their preorder for the stamp set.
I've got two cards to share with you today! My first card showcases the wplus9 Whimsy Alpahbet Stamps, the Simon Says Stamp Oh Happy Day Stamp Set, and the Simon Says Stamp Lemon Zing Ink from the Masterpiece Box. I created a big, bold, custom greeting with the alphabet stamp set and framed up the sentiment with brightly colored flower borders!
I stamped and masked the flowers from the Simon Says Stamp Oh Happy Day Stamp Set along the edge of two Bristol cardstock pieces using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink. I colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
I stamped the greeting using the wplus9 Whimsy Alphabet Stamp Set and nine colors of Simon Says Stamp Dye Ink. The colors of the greeting were picked to coordinate with the brightly colored flowers. I used the coordinating outline letters to add even more detail and whimsy to the greeting.
I adhered the wider of the two floral panels to the top of a side fold card base using foam adhesive, then I adhered the the greeting to the card base, finishing with the narrow floral border adhered with foam adhesive.

For my second card share today, I used the awesome new Mama Elephant Tiny Ninjas Stamp Set. I framed up the ninjas using the Mama Elephant Polaroid Fun Die Collection. I Distress Inked a background on a die cut panel that shows off the embossed resist greeting.
I stamped three of the ninjas from the Mama Elephant Tiny Ninjas Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and then die cut each with the smaller Mama Elephant Polaroid Fun Die Collection. I colored in the images with Copic Markers and added detail to the eyes with a black glaze pen.
I die cut three more frames from black cardstock using the Mama Elephant Polaroid Fun Die Collection, discarding the inside squares.
The background was die cut from smooth white cardstock using a Sew Fancy Die. I stamped greetings from the Tiny Ninjas Stamp Set using the Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder.
I applied Candied Apple Distress Ink over the background revealing the embossed greetings.
The background was splattered with Black Soot Distress Paint and Picket Fence Distress Paint. Once the background was completely dry I adhered the frames to the background and then added washi tape to each to "hold" them in place!
