My Favorite Things – You Spice Up My Life!
Hi crafty friends! Today we thought it would be fun to highlight some of the newest stamps and dies from one of the great companies we carry in the Simon Says Store! My Favorite Things Stamps just released the adorable “Recipe for Happiness” set that has the cutest chef! There are four versions of the chef, along with cooking accessories and really fun sentiments. Besides cards, you could use this set to make food gift tags, recipe cards, scrapbook pages and loads of other projects. He’s fun to color with your Copic markers too!
I used the My Favorite Things Blueprints 15 dies for my card layout, and a color scheme of red, white and kraft. The Recipe for Happiness stamps have matching dies that make it really easy to get pretty results.
I started my card by stamping all the images in Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink (perfect for Copics) and then die cut them out. I colored them and set them aside while I build my card. For the top white layer, I used Khaki ink, with the cooking utensils images to make a soft background paper. The Khaki ink matches my Khaki card base.
My background paper is from the Fresh Squeezed Chevron 6×6 collection pack from MFT!
The heart die cut and the little flag die cut come as part of the Blueprints 15 set. I cut the heart out of Simon Says Stamp Lipstick Cardstock and then added an accent with a white gel pen.
I finished off with a few dark grey enamel dots!
My chef and the cooking images were popped off the page with foam squares for some dimension.

Favorite Peeps: Our March Card Kit Reveal!
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Not only are we sharing a special day with our loved ones, but we’re also revealing our Monthly card kit: Favorite Peeps! We have several very special things for you this month! Purchase the kit and receive matching dies for the stamp set My Kind of Peeps. and one (random from the brights #1 set) Tim Holtz Distress Crayon. There are also two whimsical Spring themed Watercolor Doodle cards inside by Suzy Plantamura (Exclusive to the kit).
Enjoy 12 double sided 6×6 papers from the Echo Park Spring collection and five sheets of Simon Says Stamp 100# card stocks (Lemon Chiffon, Orange Peel, Green Apple, Doll Pink and Ivory.) To top it all off, the kit has a beautiful pack of mixed sunshine yellow sequins inside.
I’ve created a spinner card using one of the peep dies using our Stitched Circle dies.
I’ve coated my peep with Rock Candy Distress Glitter for some sugary goodness!
I’ve shot a video of the walk through and full instructions on how to make my card. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel.
As a bonus today, I thought it might be handy to show you how the brand new Tim Holtz Distress Crayons work. They are really special and only Tim shows it best.
