Altenew May 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop
Welcome everyone!! Today we are celebration the Altenew May stamp and die release. If you’re coming from Virginia Lu’s blog, then you’re in the right place!
I’ve selected the Garden Silhouette and Rustic Linen stamps to work with for my cards. I’ve used Tim Holtz Distress Markers on the flowers to get a watercolor effect.
By using the markers, I was able to add small amounts of color to the blossom portions of the stamps. I’ve created a simple background for my tags by stamping the Rustic Linen stamp in white onto Desert Storm cardstock.
I used the vase from the Garden Silhouette stamp set with one single flower. My card is mini size where I’ve folded over a 4.25″x5.5″ panel.
I started with yellow tones of markers in the center of the flower and worked my way out with oranges and pink.
I’ve filmed a video of how I colored these flowers which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
There is an amazing line up of designers participating in this hop, I’ve included the complete list below.
Thanks so much for stopping by the Simon Says Stamp blog, your next stop on the hop is to Lilith Eeckels.
Enjoy!!

Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Puperoni Gift Cards
Hello creative friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you today and I am thrilled to be back with a brand new, Studio Monday video!
This week I am featuring our playful Favorite Puperoni birthday stamp set, and two ways to make gift card holders! Many of you probably received this Favorite Puperoni set last year when it was our birthday gift to you, but now it is available for individual purchase!
One of the gift card holders I made utilizes the cute, Petal Envelope die! Look how sweet this perfectly-sized, gift card envelope looks decorated with the images and sentiments from Favorite Puperoni!
And have you tried out our Prettied Up Gift Card die set? This set can be used in so many different ways, making it a versatile gift card packaging option. I used all the components of the die set in my other gift card holder that I created today!
I hope you will watch the video below to see how I created both of these fun, birthday gift card holders! Thanks so much for stopping by; I will see you next week with brand new inspiration to share!

Color Coordinates with Shari Carroll
Are you ready for some fun Summer color? It’s Shari here with a delightful combination for my Summer Mix Color Coordinates!!
I’ve chosen cool colors with purple, blue and green hues and paired them with warm tones of orange and yellow.
I’ve used the Simon Says Stamp inks in Hydrangea, Scuba, Jelly Bean, Duckling and Clementine. I also snuck in a little Fog to stamp my backgound.
I stamped several Hex images from Cath Z’s Hex Yeah stamp set using both sizes of patterned and solids. I also stamped the outline images from the set to create a subtle background.
I have filmed a video which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
In March, I created a PDF of our past recipes that you can print out HERE. I’ve also created an add on page of todays recipe HERE. I hope you’ve enjoyed this fresh color combination and card inspiration. Enjoy!!
