Welcome to our super-special and extra epic United We Craft Blog Party, friends!

Now more than ever, it’s time to sit down and craft with our loved ones, keep little hands busy, bring joy to family members, and virtually unite with our crafty friends! You can join us in this crusade by sharing your creative moments using #SSSUnitedWeCraft. Use the hashtag to share photos of what you create and who you create with in person or virtually. It’s our time to shine as card makers! 

So what’s this party all about? While we are staying at home and crafting up a storm to fill our time and do our best to flatten the curve, we wanted to give you a TON of inspiration using previously released Simon Says Stamp exclusive products that you might have in your stash.

Before you get started looking at all of the amazing projects you will see made by a whole slew of the best card makers out there, let’s take a look at two beautiful cards from Yasmin Diaz and Michelle Peckham that they created for our party today!

Ready to explore? Below you’ll find links to our participants. Click away and be inspired! We’d love for you to leave happy little comments for these designers and let them know how much you appreciate their designs!

Thank you for taking the time to be inspired with us. Don’t forget to share YOUR creative moments with family and friends using #SSSUnitedWeCraft.

We hope that you are staying healthy and safe. We appreciate you so very much!

Hi friends! We hope you are doing well and staying safe during these uneasy times. If you are like many of us, you may have your kiddos home with you. Sometimes we could all use some fresh DIY (Do it Yourself) ideas to keep them occupied and we thought this would be a fun idea to share; use products from your stash to make a coloring book!

We asked one of our amazing resident designers, Shari Carroll, to give us some tips and tricks, and as a BONUS she even showed us the process and got her sweet granddaughter Melody involved! They stamped out images from our Hello Easter stamp set, and started coloring right away! Be sure to watch the video for more info, and enjoy!
