Seeing all of the amazing cards and projects featuring the Simon Say Stamp brand that are created by you, our 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! You’ll see a couple lovely creations using STAMPtember® products in this months feature.

Today we are excited to introduce you to 5 designers who shared their work and caught our eye for the October 2015 ‘Spotted’ post!  We send each of them a little something special for being “spotted.”

Oh how I love autumn and all the beautiful colors it brings, don’t you?! Valentyna Komisarenko captured the essence of fall with this beautiful card made using the new Stitched Maple Trio leaves, Bundle of Stitched Shapes wafter dies and With Sympathy craft die. We found this stunning card on Valentyna’s blog.

Ksenija Rizova used our One With Nature stamp set to create this totally gorgeous card. She did a fabulous job coloring those trees!  You can find this beauty and more on her blog and Instagram.

Have you met Simon’s new BFF? If not, allow me to introduce to you, Dexter! Cynde Whitlow created this totally adorable card, found on her blog, using the new Dexter and Simon stamp set along with the A2 Card Curved Edge craft die. Those two are just too cute together!

The new Dance It Out cling stamp makes me want to get up and dance! Like the card says, life’s too short, SHAKE IT! Cheri Burry created this fun card that was spotted on her blog and Instagram.

Lastly, we would like to share with you this stunning creation by Pia Larsen. She also used the One With Nature stamp set. We love the richness of the fall trees. You can find this card and more on Pia’s blog.
