NEW 6X6 GLITTER PAPERS
As a little sneak peek into our STAMPtember® release, we have some new glitter papers that are coming out! These are bright and absolutely fabulous!! Our Glitter papers are perfect for crisp, clean, detailed die cutting!
We’ve worked hard to bring you several must-have adhesives. We’ve recently added foam squares to our line in 2 widths, 2 sizes, and 2 colors (Black and White). But, coming out for STAMPtember® is our Foam Tape roll. This adhesive is superb, not too sticky, and won’t gum up your scissors when cutting.
These little gems are super sweet! They are approximately 3×3,” and In one run, they emboss the image and cut out the center using your die-cutting machine. They are perfect for making mini shaker cards or as a focal point for full-size cards. Pair them with our sentiment strips for quick and easy projects.
STAMPtember®
If you’re not familiar, STAMPtember® is our month-long celebration for all things stamping and crafting.
On September 1st, we will reveal our Simon Says Stamp branded product release. We’ve worked hard to bring you our best!! These products will be a part of our regular product line and available in our store beyond STAMPtember®.
Continuing through the month, there will be daily collaborative stamp sets from some of our vendors. They will not be restocked when these are sold out, so you’ll have to act fast. Be sure to check our blog daily to see them, along with inspiration and special surprises!
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!

Mixed Media with Shari Carroll: Cherished
Happy Saturday, everyone! It’s Shari here with a simple yet stunning mixed media project.
I’ve wanted to do something with the Tim Holtz Feathery dies, so I chose 3 to represent my husband and sons. For this project, I used the Tim Holtz Vignette Panel as the base. I created a background by double stenciling using some Picket Fence Studios Golden Sparkle and Artic Fox Paper Glaze on Dina Wakley heavyweight Watercolor paper.
I ink blended each feather, then used some Tim Holtz stencils with Picket Fence Autumn Leaves, Coffee Beans, and Artic Fox Paper Glaze on just the top portion of each feather. I attached the feathers in place, added Mummy clothe and die-cut Cherished, and then glued it in the frame.
