Spotted – October 2016 Edition!
It’s time for another edition of Spotted here on the Simon Says Stamp Blog! Seeing all of the amazing cards and projects featuring the Simon Say Stamp brand that are created by you, our awesome customers, is super fun for us! We love seeing what you are creating. ‘Spotted!’ is a monthly feature on this blog that highlights the talents of all of you! Thank your for bringing our products to life with your creativity and energy! It’s really a treat to share your projects!
Today we are happy to introduce you to 5 designers who shared their work and caught our eye for the October 2016 edition of our ‘Spotted’ post! We send each of them a little something special for being “spotted.” Be sure to use the hashtag #simonsayssstamp on your social media accounts so we can spot YOU! We find cards on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Flickr, in our Simon Galleries, and craft blogs.
This first card for today is actually a set of gorgeous floral cards made by Amy! This card was spotted on Amy’s Instagram page. We love the amazing watercolor techniques and beautiful color choices for her cards. And the sequins are the perfect finishing touch. Amy used our Simon Says Stamp Exclusive stamp sets called Sketch Ranunculus and Hello Beautiful! Please visit Amy on her Instagram page to see more of her awesome creations
Next up is this really cool and colorful card made by Ardyth! We love how bright and graphic this is! And what a great technique to sponge ink into rays of color and use enamel dots to anchor them! Ardyth used our Simon Says Stamp Exclusive stamp sets called It’s No Secret and Friendly Flowers to make her square card. Please visit Ardyth’s blog to see more of her creations. You can also find her work on her Instagram page.
This next card is for those of you who are having a hard time giving up Summer! This fun surf scene was made by Ellenor! Her coloring is spot on, and she made a great beach out of patterned paper. So creative! Ellenor used one of our Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Christmas stamp sets but you wouldn’t know it – the set is called Warm Christmas Wishes. You can see Ellenor’s awesome cards on her blog, and visit her on her Instagram page.
This next card is a sweet treat indeed! This awesome popsicle card was made by Swapna. We spotted it on her Instagram page and were instantly drawn to all that gorgeous vivid color! The rainbow pops are amazing, and what a great layout to die cut a big heart in the center! Swapna used our Simon Says Stamp Exclusive stamp set called Ice Cream Dream to make her card. You can see more of Swapna’s creations on her Instagram Page or her blog.
Last but certainly not least is this set of beautifully watercolored birthday cards made by Kimberly! WOW – stunning use of a clean and simple design with a perfect wash of watercolor. We love the artsy look of these cards – and they are sure to make anyone’s birthday brighter! Kimberly used our Simon Says Stamp Exclusive stamp set called Birthday Bits. Please visit Kimberly on her crafty blog, or her Instagram page.
