Hello ghosts and ghouls! I'm so excited to share a fun idea for creating Halloween themed snow globe shaker tags with June 2022 Mama Elephant Release products! The June Release is the last release before the September 2022 Anniversary Release. I paired the brand new Costumed Cuties Stamps and Dies with the tree from the Stay Warm Stamp Set and my favorite Arch Snow Globe Dies for these darling gift/ornament tags. Keep reading and watch the video below for all the details.

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!

Happy Tuesday, friends! The Simon Says Stamp July 2022 Card Kit, You Shine is now available. Today I have a couple of beautiful cards to share with you using the components from the kit (this kit is SO good!). My goal for my SSS Card Kit videos is to show ideas with the kit only. Additional tools like dies, small embellishments, and sometimes extra greetings (like the small sentiment strip on the window box card) can be added but aren't necessary to duplicate these designs. Let's get started!

The latest Distress Color is HERE! Saltwater Taffy is the most lovely combination of pink/coral and IMO the perfect spring color! I combined the new color with brand new Lawn Fawn Spring Release products for completely customized cards from the background, to embellishments, to the backgrounds!

The background of the card was inked with Distress Inks in Salvaged Patina, Salty Ocean, and Villainous Potion. The Pretty Pink Posh Stars Stencil and Hero Arts Glitter Hero Paste were applied over the top for a texturey, glittery effect!
The Pretty Pink Posh Balloon Alphabet Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Carddstock with embossing ink and heat embossed with Distress Glaze Embossing Powders in Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Wild Honey, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, Salty Ocean, and Villainous Potion.
I watercolored the alphabet letters with the coordinating colors of Distress Inks and a water brush pen. When dry the letters were die cut with the coordinating Pretty Pink Posh Balloon Alphabet Dies. Balloon strings were stamped with SSS Fog Ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. The balloon letters were adhered to the background with foam adhesive and the strings adhered with liquid glue.
The balloons were finished with a layer of Glossy Accents and Chunky Glitter. I love the tone-on-tone of the Distress Glaze Embossing Powder with Distress Ink watercolored balloons finished with Glossy Accents and glitter! It really makes the balloon letters showy!
The card was finished with a scattering of PPP pearls.
