Hey there friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you! I have a mini book idea to share that could be used for many different occasions or themes—my book is mom-themed, but bear in mind you can swap out some of the sayings and words I used for things that would fit your theme. In this project I am also using the adorable Best of the Bunch set from Avery Elle!

I built my book from Tim Holtz’s Specimen file folder. Using some strips of cardstock, I adhered the file folders together to make “pages” in a book. The seam was covered with some ribbon to give it a softer, more finished look.

Inside, the pages are decorated with patterned papers, Tim Holtz ephemera, and images from the Best of the Bunch stamp set. How cute are those critters with their florals?!

Want to learn how I made this sweet book? Watch the video below for all the details!

Hello, all! Kristina Werner here with a card made using the May 2023 Card Kit! I used the Best Year Yet stamp set, plus some circle stencils, to create a colorful birthday card.

The inspiration behind this card comes from the greeting I chose to use. I thought it would be fun to stamp the solid “It’s Your Day!” greeting and then overlap the shape with other colorful shapes.

I stamped and white heat embossed the birthday cake and balloons so that the images would resist the ink on top as well.

For the circle shapes, I used Simon’s Circle Masks stencils and the Mix and Match Circles stencil. Super easy!

To finished off the card, I added fun sequins from the Surprise Party sequin mix that’s included in the kit.

You can pick up the May 2023 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe to receive this kit and future kits HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends! Happy STAMPtember® eve! Today I have a new edition of our popular Did You Know series!

Half Sheet Pawsitively Everything Cardstock Sleeves

Our Simon exclusive Half Sheet cardstock sleeves are the newest addition to our line of Pawsitively Everything storage collection and they are a GAME CHANGER! Anything 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ or smaller fit beautifully inside these sleeves, making them an ideal storage solution for your crafting supplies. They are made from heavy-duty plastic, which means they won’t break or split. They also feature a handy cutout at the top making it super easy to slip paper in and out as you work.

Place and Score and Place and Pierce Embellishment Wands

Did you know we now offer 2 handy little embellishment wands? They each do completely different things, which means you are probably going to *need* both!

The Place and Score embellishment wand features a wax tip on one side and a scoring tool on the other. The wax tip is amazing for handling embellishments of any size and small die cuts! The scoring tip can be used to score card bases or reinforce scoring lines on your die cuts. We also offer replacement tips for this tool if you find you need to swap it out over time.

Our companion Place and Pierce wand is extremely useful for delicate embellishments or working in tight areas, as it features a much smaller tip than the Place and Score tool. The piercing tip on the other side is amazing for getting underneath gem stickers, poking die cuts out of your dies, or weeding out the negative pieces from your die cut shapes.

We guarantee you are going to love and reach for both of these handy wands all the time!

Pastel Color Blend Cardstock

By popular demand we have brought you more of our much-loved Color Blend cardstock—this time in a rainbow of pastel colors that are oh-so-dreamy! Just like the original Color Blend cardstock assortment, this Pastel pack can be used for die cutting, hot foiling, dry embossing, heat embossing, stamping, and more!

Everyday Acetate Sentiment Strips

Have you tried our Acetate Sentiment Strips!? These toner-printed sheets are printed onto lightweight acetate, allowing you to have the option of foiling these beauties! Our new Everyday pack of acetate sentiment strips contains a wide range of useful greetings for all occasions. How fun is it to add a pop of shine on your card with a foiled greeting like this?!

I hope these tips have helped you learn a few tricks for your upcoming crafting projects… Thanks for tuning in today and spending some time with me!
