Bright and Cheerful with Hero Arts

This week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is Bright and Cheerful using Hero Arts supplies. It just so happens that I recently got a new floral stamp set from Hero Arts and hadn't yet used it, so it was about time!
 I stamped the Nasturtiums in diagonal corners and colored them with Copic markers. I also used a different Hero Arts stamp and die set to create the sentiment. The sequins are a mix from Buttons and Galore's new 28 Lilac Lane collection!
I was surprised at how much I liked the peach combined with the bright, yellow greens of the vines. Since it is my birthday today, I needed a few thank you cards so this was the perfect opportunity to both use a new stamp set, practice my coloring AND make a card to send!

Rainbow Stamping Techniques and Rainbow Patterned Paper

This week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is Anything Goes using Doodlebug Design products!
 My favorite Doodlebug Design products are their rainbow patterned papers. I thought it would be fun to combine them with a few rainbow stamping techniques to make a few cards.
 I used mini ink cubes to craete a rainbow stamped image.
 I used the MISTI to stamp a sentiment mutiple times in a rainbow of inks.
And, I used small image stamps to embellish a simple black ink sentiment. Check out all the techniques and how to put together these three cards in this video:

Faux Watercolor Card with My Favorite Things

This week, the Simon Says Stamp challenge is Anything Goes! They are highlighting My Favorite Things products and MFT happens to be one of MY favorite brands lol! So I created a faux water color look by stamping their Layered Watercolor flowers in Distress Inks and then activating the inks with a waterbrush.

I also used a sentiment from the Brush Letter stamp set to go along with the watercolored look and feel. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers and some Tonic Studios Nuvo Jewel Drops to the centers.
Thanks for stopping by!

5 Ways to Color Glitter Cardstock

This week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is Sparkle and Shine using Tonic Studios products. I started with Tonic Studios White Glitter Cardstock.
If you only have white glitter cardstock but want the look of lots of color, there are several ways to color your glitter cardstock!
You can use alcohol inks or Distress Inks or even acrylic paint. As long as the medium is not too thick, you should still be able to see the glimmer and shine of the glitter through the color.
Try watercolor markers or Tombow markers to create a soft rainbow effect. Or if you don't mind covering up some of the glitter, add drops of Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops.
Check out this video to see all 5 ways to add color to white glitter cardstock and pull together a few cards too!

Stamp and Stitch Card

This week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is a birthday celebration! They are celebrating 9 years so it is time to use some Simon Says Stamp products for a Happy Birthday card!
I used the Best Ever stamp set to stamp the rainbow and sentiments and then used a We R Memory Keepers paper piercer and piercing mat to poke holes for some basic backstitch stitching.
It's so easy to do and I imagine it could be used on so many stamp images, but it is perfect on this rainbow! Check the video to see how to make this card here:

Layered Background Stamp Distress Oxide Resist

This week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is an Anything Goes challenge using Stampendous products. Sadly, I don't have any Stampendous stamps, but I do have some Fine Detail Clear Embossing powder from Stampendous! So I decided to try out a layered background stamp technique.
First I stamped and heat embossed a background with clear embossing powder. For the first embossed image I used a script or text background.
Next, I stamped an heat embossed an image background. I chose images with large bits of white space so you would be able to see the text in those openings. I used Black Versafine ink and clear embossing powder for one and clear embossing ink with silver embossing powder for the other.
Once both layers of heat embossing were cool, I used Distress Oxides to watercolor over. Watching the double backgrounds come to life was so fun! Check out the technique and both cards in this video:

Use Layering Stamp to Create a Background

Hey everyone! This week the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is to Floral Frenzy using Altenew products! Fortunately I had a couple of Altenew products that I hadn't used in a while and a few that I had recently purchased too!
I used the most detailed layer of the Painted Rose stamp set to create a very light background by repeatedly stamping it with Altenew Arctic Ink. Then I created the central focus image by stamping the new With Sympathy flower using two medium colors of Altenew inks.
I finished it off with the darkest color of ink in the series, Sapphire and stamped the sentiment with that. I added some Spectrum Noir Clear Shimmer and a few Tonic Studios Nuvo Jewel Drops. I used my Therm O Web Memory Runner XL to adhere everything together. I have a short video showing how I made the background, central image and pulled the card together:

Simon Says Stamp Weds Challenge - Girl Power

This week the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is Girl Power and to use Winnie and Walter products. I happened to have one fun set of Winnie and Walter Stamps that I love called Scenery Stripes (it and all the products I used will be linked down below).
Of course I had to use my favorite Distress Oxide Inks to stamp the Winnie and Walter Stripes! The little chick and sentiment came from an easter set from Simon Says Stamp. And what would a card be without some Nuvo Jewel Drops? Amiright? 
I colored the little chick with Copic markers and then added some clear embellishments on top of flower sequins that I had been hoarding and not using lol! Be sure to check out the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge each week for inspiration and a challenge to use some of your stash! Thanks for stopping by!

Can You Stamp Sentiments with Distress Oxide Inks?

Simon Says Stamp is celebrating Stamptember! So the challenge for Wednesday is to Stamp It using Simon Says Stamp exclusive products. Conveniently, I had the September Kit Club kit waiting to be used and had wanted to see how well Distress Oxide Inks stamp sentiments.
I used the stamp set that came with the kit to stamp lines of Happy Birthday in a rainbow of Distress Oxide Inks. 
I was shocked to see how clearly the Distress Oxide inks stamped the tiny detail sentiment strip! So the answer to the question is most certainly YES! And I will be using my Distress Inks for lots of stamping (sentiment and otherwise) in the future!
Check it out for yourself in this video:
