It’s the 14th and time to reveal the Simon Says Stamp card kit for July called Handwritten Floral Greetings!

This is a dreamy kit with soft tones of colors from the Pink Fresh Indigo Hills 6×6 papers. The Handwritten Floral greetings stamp set is a perfect addition to these papers with both detail and solid florals. We’ve included inks in this kit! Enjoy stamping with our Simon brand Hybrid inks in; Thistle, Goldenlocks, Slate and Steel Blue! Want to watercolor your stamped images? We’re also including two sheets of watercolor cardstock and a detail water brush.

I have some inspiration to share with you. I’ve created a single layer card by stamping solid flowers and dots onto the pattern paper and then adding a greeting. Talk about a quick card!

Wanda created a watercolor masterpiece by embossing her images in white and using the water brush to paint the insides.

Heather Ruwe used a hearts punch to create a fun panel using a variety of the papers.

I’ve shot a video of the kit walk through so you can see the kit contents. You can watch it below or on our YouTube channel.

Hello friends, welcome back to a brand new Studio Monday! Today I have another clear shaker card to share with you, this time using some of our Simon exclusive stamps and dies! I also am going to share some inspiration on creating multicolored die cuts and a bit of easy Copic coloring, so let’s get to it!

For this card I have used the Birthday Wishes Frame die, as well as the Cuddly Critters Accessories stamp and die sets; all of these products are Simon exclusive and they are so much fun to use together.

I really like the versatility of the Cuddly Critters Accessories stamp set; while it is technically meant for using with the Cuddly Critters stamp set (which is so dang cute by the way!), it can also be used alone, like I have done here. The balloons that are included in the set are just the perfect shape for any style of card, and I like having the option of using either the heart or traditional circle… or both together! There are also coordinating dies that go with the Cuddly Critters Accessories set, which saves a lot of fussy cutting!

I wanted to create a clear shaker card today, and the Birthday Wishes Frame makes it SUPER easy to do so! I even did some multicolor die cutting, which I will be sharing a few tips on in today’s video (at the bottom of this post). What makes this die cut more unique than other frame dies, is that the brush script “birthday wishes” sentiment is attached to the frame, so everything die cuts as one whole piece. Pretty nifty, huh?? I will show you in the video below how I put this entire shaker card together, so be sure to stick around for that!

Inside the shaker I wanted to use colors that matched my balloons; so I grabbed some Pretty Pink Posh sequins in Marshmallow (4mm and 6mm), Aquamarine (4mm) and Sparkling Clear (6mm) to fill inside my shaker’s well. I think the way the sequin and balloons coordinate together looks fab!

To see how I created this card from start to finish, as well as to get a few tips and tricks on creating clear shaker cards, be sure to check out the video below or over on our YouTube channel! If you enjoy, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel for more weekly inspiration!

Happy Sunday everyone! It’s Shari here with a technique to create fabric flowers using Spellbinders dies designed by Tammy Tutterow.

These flowers are a fresh departure from flat paper, the frayed edges and crumpled fabric add texture with a hint of whimsy! I used white fabric that had a small white pattern. When I started out, I wasn’t sure if the design would soak up the Abandoned Coral color or resist it. To my delight, it resisted giving me a white pattern!

I did sew just a little to add folds to the flowers. I promise, it’s really easy to do. You could use glue or glue gun for this as well. The stamped Cheesecloth background sets the stage for the flowers adding a garden feel.

I finished off the card by adding an enamel dot to the centers of the flowers and a simple greeting. Clean and simple with texture!

I have filmed a video to show you the process, you can watch it below or on our YouTube channel.
