Hi friends! Welcome to our Concord & 9th STAMPtember® celebration!  Concord & 9th is a company that is relatively new to the industry, even though the founders Angie and Greg are far from new to stamping world.  If you’d like to hear more about the story of Concord & 9th straight from their friendly faces, Online Card Classes did a wonderful interview with Greg and Angie – you can see it here.

We are pleased to offer you products from Concord & 9th at Simon Says Stamp.  We hope this exclusive called “Cozy Christmas” inspires you to try more of their wildly popular designs.  Cozy Christmas is available as a set that includes the pinecone die and also as the stamp set with no wafer die, while supplies last.

Be sure to checkout #Concordand9th on social media to see loads of inspiration using this awesome line of products!

Hi friends! We’re pleased to be featuring a very awesome brand on the blog today, Waffle Flower Crafts! Please enjoy the coupon on all Waffle Flower branded products that are in stock! Read on to be inspired by the fantastic Nina Yang!

Hi everyone! It’s Nina Yang with Waffle Flower here. I’m joining our friends at Simon Says today in celebrating STAMPtember. I’m going to share how to use stamps to add texture and dimension to a card.

The stamp set I’m using today is called First Step. The name of the set came from the sentiment that says: “Every journey needs a first step”. The sentiment I’m using today is “She believed she could, so she did”. I think it will make a great encouragement card to any girl in your life who’s facing a challenge.

Hi friends!  There are so many new and exciting things going on right now with Tim Holtz brands, it’s the perfect day to celebrate an exciting new exclusive stamp and stencil set for STAMPtember® created by none other than Tim himself ;)

Collaborating with Tim to bring this special stamp set and stencil to you for STAMPtember has been… SO MUCH FUN!  We have carried Tim’s stamps in our store since their inception.  In fact, did you know that we have ALL of his wood mounted designs available for you!?

Tim’s rubber stamps are made in the USA with high quality red rubber and are indexed and delightfully organized so that sets play together beautifully.  His stamps are great for mixed media, art, collage, scrapbooking and my favorite of all….card making!  The stencils are also made in the USA and can be used alone or to enhance your stamping.

The collaboration stamp set is a special collection of some favorite NEW and previously released Tim Holtz designs.  They have all been resized to fit beautifully on cards and are also great sizes for making gift tags. The stencils are especially beautiful on mixed media projects too!  This stamp and stencil set is available to you only at Simon Says Stamp, while supplies last.  Tim’s special STAMPtember® designs are always hot hot hot, so please don’t wait to purchase if you love this exclusive as much as I do!

Tim just released his holiday stamp and stencil collection a few hours ago.  Have you seen these festive designs?  You can see him showcase the products and stunning projects on his facebook live video here.

I’d love to hear what Tim Holtz products are MUST HAVES for you!  For me, I would say, the Tonic Craft Pick because it’s perfect for poking the finer paper pieces out of my projects, my festive berries distress ink, picket white distress crayon, crazy dogs stamp set, mini stencil set #3, Idea-ology halloween ephemera, and this year I’m having a lot of fun with the Vintage Dwelling die because you can get the companions and make your house into a surf shack, haunted manor, gingerbread house, bell tower...basically build a whole city for any season.  Share your favorite Tim Holtz products below and we will choose one lucky person to win a very special Tim Holtz prize package – including a Tim Holtz tote bag and a sample of many favorite products!

We have another very special surprise for you! Tim created a video for you showcasing this stamp and stencil set with projects created using them.
