Sizzle!
Hi readers! Happy Saturday! How is your weekend going so far? I’m so pleased to have our pal Teri Anderson back on the blog with a bright pop of color blocking inspiration for the blog today! She’s using some of her fun new stamp designs from Technique Tuesday that include Rah Rah, I Like You, & Darn Good Day to make these fun cards.
Enjoy!
Hi, everyone!Teri here, and I’m happy to be here again. Thanks for inviting me back, Simon friends!I brought a few cards to share with you today that I made with the new Rah Rah Sentiments stamp set.
This is one of a couple of new stamp sets I designed for Technique Tuesday that are available here at Simon Says Stamp! If you you look at this set and my I Like You and Darn Good Day sets, you’ll see I’ve been including lots of words in my recent stamp sets.
I am a card maker first and foremost. And I love a good sentiment that I can just stamp on a card and be done. But it’s sometimes nice to “sauce” things up a bit.
So I came up with some fun little sentiment banners that pack a little bit of punch when put on card..
They are pretty easy to make. Simply stamp a sentiment on a piece of cardstock. Add a little bit vellum underneath. Be sure to cut a notch in the vellum so it look a bit like a banner. You want something that looks like these here.
And then use markers, pencils or crayons to color in some of the open parts of the letters. I find less color is more when adding color to stamped sentiments. So I try to limit myself to just coloring in the open spaces of the scripty, handwritten words.
On the Sizzle card at the top of the post I just flipped my card horizontally and changed out the paper sizes.

Love the bright colors.
Love the fun sentiment stamps and the use of vellum with the bold colors on the card.
These are some wonderful sentiments. Love the hand script.
Very adorable color combinations!
A great way to use up any leftovers :) thanks for sharing :(
Love these sentiments, Teri, and your very colorful cards! You are never afraid of color! That’s super! I need to be better about combining bright colors like you do! TFS!
Cool words on your cards!
Beautiful cards here from Teri, and I love the bright colors, she´s used. That´s something we really neeed now after this long cold and dark and greay winter here, so this is such a wonderful and colorful input to another grey and rainy day here today.
I love these new Technique Tuesday stamps and the colors in the cards are so cute!

Beautiful colors!
I love these bright, vibrant cards.
Love the vibrant colours paired with the vellum and coloured words.
Love how colorful these cards are :)
To be honest these stamps are not my piece of cake. I’m more fan of stamps like ‘you are such a sweetheart (with a little chocolate heart)’ or ‘I waf you this much (with a dog holding a heart). But the cards look great! :) A nice way to use up your scraps to!

I like the clean graphic style
I never think to just use cardstock – I have so much patterned paper!!! However, I love the clean, bold look. The sentiments are a hoot – I’m off to look!
Unbelievable how cute are these?
Wonderful statements and rich colors…love them!
On my way out the door but I had to say I love the vellum cut at an angle that way! And the colors are just delish!
LOVE these bright colors and the fun sentiments!
Wow – this style is gorgeous! Love the layout and how you used the vellum! Fabulous inspiration – both cards – thank you! I may have to CAS this style!!!
Cute card and sentiments! Love the bold colours.
Wow! That pop of color is fantastic! Love the sentiments too.
I love this idea of making up sentiment banners to have them on hand when you need a quick card. Or to make a card set where the sentiments are the main focus. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the colors. So bright and cheerful. The sentiments are perfect to make a clean and simple card. Thank you for showing us how to use up our scrapes of paper
Cute cards and the sentiments are oh, so very clever. Love the blocks of color.
Loving all the new sentiment stamps! Very fun!
Fresh and unique. Love the sayings.
Teri is another of my heros/heroines! Love her irreverence in design and now these fun little sentiments. The color-blocked cards are the perfect background for these little shout-outs.
What fun is the Rah Rah stamp set?!?! That’s going on my wish list.
Great little sentiments that make great cards. Thanks for sharing.
Always love Teri’s cards and these are a great example of why!
Congrats on the new stamps! Love these bright, fun cards!
WOW! Color, color, color! Love the cards!
Love the simplicity and the colors!
This is great as just a few simple colored strips (or leftover scrap) can be used to make such a bunches of cards!
I love the shape cut out of vellum, very different from how I’ve used it. I love it. And I love the bright colours inside the sentiment, such a nice contrast with the black. Cute cards :)
Quick, easy and colorful! Works for me!
Love the stripes. Bright and bold. The sentiments are great.
I love the colours on this card. The design so simple but effective! Very nice.
Beautiful colors, I agree!
Love the colors!! Thanks!
WOW! now how simple was that, what happy looking cards. TFS
What a cool sentiment set…Teri rocks!
Bright and bold colors seem to be in for Spring. Simple cards are often the best!
Reminds me of spring…..bright colors!
I like it, really!
