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!!!

Neenah White Cardstock from the kit was trimmed to 3 3/4" x 5". The Simon Says Stamp Blossom Field Embossing Folder was inked with SSS Fog Gray ink, the paper placed in the embossing folder, and run through a die cutting machine using the embossing sandwich. This give the solid areas of the background a bit of color. For a more dramatic look, use a darker ink color!
The raised areas of the design were colored with the following Copic Marker color combinations:
Yellow Flowers: Y000, Y02, Y15, Y38
Purple Flowers & Buds: BV31, BV34
Leaves and Stems: G20, G24, G28
Other Leaves: YG93, YG97
The text design Paper Rose Forever 6x6 Paper was trimmed to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and adhered to a white top fold card base. The embossed and colored panel was adhered to the center of the text paper.

I created five spring-themed cards today. With these frigid temps that so many of us have right now, it has me longing for springtime, flowers, fresh cut grass, and hanging out in our backyard. I have big goals of planting trees, doing some landscaping, and adding an outdoor dining set to our yard this spring/summer! I can almost imagine it with these fresh and fun cards today!

Happy Wednesday, friends ! I don't know about you but I am all about a new Distress Color! The brand new Kitsch Flamingo is gorgeous and is the perfect addition to the Distress color family! I often find it hard to really "see" how the color differs from previous colors so a good swatching always helps showcase how the newest colors fit into the line up. I posted the comparison photo (shown below) on my Instagram a few days ago and I've received quite a few requests for more of these types of comparisons in additional colors. If you want to see more Distress Ink swatch color comparisons please let me know! My cards today also feature an assortment of currently on sale Simon Says Stamp products! The stamps, dies, and stencils used are deeply discounted! Yay! Keep reading and/or watch the video tutorial for all the details.

Here is my comparison chart of my favorite Distress Oxide Ink colors for Valentine's Day:
A "thank you" greeting from the Simon Says Stamp Thankful Flowers Stamp Set was stamped on the Kitsch Flamingo heart (after drying time so that the embossing powder wouldn't stick to the entire heart) with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
A splattering of Tim Holtz Picket Fence Distress Paint was applied over the panel for a bit of subtle distressing. The panel was adhered to a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" white slimline card base.
The hearts were adhered to the background as shown with the Kitsch Flamingo being adhered on top with foam adhesive.
Distress Oxide ink colors were applied to a scrap of smooth white cardstock and die cut with the Simon Says Stamp Hearts and Stars Wafer Die. Hearts were scattered throughout the card and finished with a layer of Glossy Accents.
A "You couldn't be more awesome" greeting from the Simon Says Stamp Thankful Flowers Stamp Set was stamped on the Spun Sugar layer (after drying time so that the embossing powder wouldn't stick to the entire heart) with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The Distress Sprayer was used to add distressing to the panels. A splattering of Tim Holtz Picket Fence Distress Paint was applied over the panel for a bit of subtle distressing.
The panels were adhered to a 3 1/8" x 6 1/4" white slimline card base.
The leftover mini hearts from the first card were adhered to the card and finished with a layer of Glossy Accents to finish the card.

Welcome to the Mama Elephant January 2021 Stampede Blog Hop!
Today I am sharing a trio of apron shaped treat bags and a matching card perfect for Valentine's Day or any day! I always love when a project will work for multiple occasions! I'm using four of the new products from January 2021 Release combined with previously released stamps and dies for the Apron Treat Bags. Mixing and matching older products with new is my jam!

More supplies linked in the supply list at the bottom of this post
The treat bags, pockets, and oven mitts were die cut from Lawn Fawn Let It Shine 12x12 patterned paper using the Mama Elephant Apron Treat Bags Dies. Two cuts are needed for each bag. The die is bigger than a 6x6 patterned paper so I would suggest a 6x8 patterned paper, 12x12 patterned paper, or 8 1/2 x 11 patterned paper or cardstock.
The apron pocket was stamped with a greeting from the Mama Elephant Handcrafted Happiness Stamp Set using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. The pocket was adhered to the front of each apron with double sided adhesive.
The inside of the base is the cream/gold patterned paper.
The Mama Elephant Apron Treat Bags Dies images were die cut from smooth white cardstock and colored in with R32, R35, R29, R46, R39, E55, and E57. Details were added to the images with a white gel pen and adhered to the center of the frame.
Greetings from the Mama Elephant Easy Sentiments Stamps and Dies set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. The phrases were die cut and one strip was adhered to the card with foam adhesive. Hearts from the Mama Elephant Basic Die Collection complete the card.

Happy snowy Wednesday from the midwest! This snowy, cold morning is the perfect time to share this trio of snowflake-themed cards featuring the January 2021 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit, Snowflake Season! This is probably my all-time favorite Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. Ever. The patterned papers from Whimsy Stamps, Blurry Flurries, are my newest favorite. In fact, I just picked up the entire paper pad from SSS so I have lots and lots and lots of these beauties to make pretty cards.
