Step Up Stamped Images with THIS Stencil Idea! Studio Monday with Nina-Marie
Hey everyone, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you and I am sharing a project using some brand new Pinkfresh Studio products!
In this video, I will be coloring stamped images from the Be Fearless stamp set with the coordinating stencils; but to step the ink blending up a bit, I’m going to add transparent glitter paste to one of the layers to create an unexpected touch of sparkle!
This 5×7 card also features some patterned paper from Pinkfresh’s Picture Perfect collection, a stamped sentiment from our Simon Says Stamp Airy Greetings set, and some Dazzling Gems in a pretty teal color!
Make sure you watch the video to see the magic happen! This is such a fun technique that really elevates your stamped and stenciled images.

Make a Birthday Card with the Vault Funky Floral Wreath from Tim Holtz!
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! We’re delighted to share (in case you missed it!) that the SUPER popular Vault Funky Floral Wreath Tim Holtz Sizzix die set is now back in stock!! What better time to welcome back special guest Cheiron Brandon with a gorgeous card using this great die set! Be sure to read on for all the details and enjoy!
Hi there crafty friends! It’s Cheiron here with another Tim Holtz tutorial. This month I am using one of the new Tim Holtz Sizzix from the Vault dies, Vault Funky Floral Wreath and combing it with some lovely Sizzix textured cardstock in all the colors of spring to create a beautiful birthday card. I also used my Sizzix Shaping Kit, which has a solid foam pad and shaper tools to give your flowers that little something extra and make them really come to life.
I started by cutting out the wreath from the Vault Funky Floral Wreath from Distress Kraft Heavystock, then also cut another one from the Simon Says Stamp Color Blend cardstock. I adhered my wreath pieces to a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock cut to 3 ¾ x 5, letting them hang over the edge slightly. Once they were dry I turned my paper over and trimmed off the excess part of the wreath that was hanging over. I cut the florals from the die set from the Sizzix Cardstock. I love the texture it has.
Once I got all of my florals cut out, I used the Sizzix Shaping Kit to make my flowers more dimensional. You simply take your flower and put it on the mat that comes with the kit and use the ball end of the tool and make small circles starting from the inside of your flower (best to start with a smaller side of the tool and then work bigger). After I added dimension to the flowers, I adhered them to the wreath using Distress Collage Medium.
Once my flowers were dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Crazy Talk Stamps then added it to the panel with foam dots. When that was completed, I added the entire panel to an A2 card base. I hope you enjoyed this fun wreath of spring flowers; I do love the look the shaping kit gives to them!

Simple Floral Gold Embossed Birthday Card: Yippee for Yana
Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the oh-so-talented and amazing Yana Smakula! (Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. To show support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, please see Yana’s post HERE.)
Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video!
In this video I’m creating with a stunning Flower Petal stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. This is a layering set, it features several beautiful flowers, stems and leaves. I’m using just the 2 smaller flowers as well as the leaves for my card.
I wanted to go with a teal and gold color combination, so I used gold embossing powder for the gold part of this combo and teal inks for the teal. I first heat embossed my images in Antique Gold embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp and next, using the stamp set packaging as a guide, I stamped the layers using Seafoam, Tidepool, and Dew for the flowers; and Aspen, Sage, and Pine for the leaves.
I used coordinating dies for this stamp set and cut the images out in my Platinum 6 Die Cutting machine. Next, I worked on a background for my card – I needed something to help me ground the elements I just made. The Simon Says Stamp Lined Arches stencil worked perfectly for this! I ink-blended the arch shape using Seafoam ink concentrating the ink heavily at the top and fading it into white at the bottom. I also have another card where I added Citrine to the Seafoam for a more lively color combo.
My panel was trimmed to 3 ½ x 4 3/4 “ and foam mounted onto a white side folding card base – I have a lot of white on white happening here.
Next, I added the flowers and leaves using foam adhesive again (can’t have too much dimension on a card) and embellished my project with the Aura sequins from Spellbinders.
Which card do you like more? Have fun creating!
