Hello friends!
I am delighted and honored to be part of the Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop today!
If you come from the uber talented Amanda Korotkova's blog, you are in the right place! If not, come on and join the fun hop. You can find all the details in Simon Says Stamp Blog.
This release has so many creative and practical stamps sets and dies.
When I received the new stamps a few days ago, I thought: "Wow, I could use this! Wow, why didn't someone come up with sets like this sooner....?". Well, they are HERE now.
Anyways, it's enough of me talking...let's get right to it!
Anyways, it's enough of me talking...let's get right to it!
First, it's about mothers...
Flower Medallion is so intricate that I decided to divided it in to a few sections.
I stamped the entire image on a piece of thin white card stock. I then cut off the part of (yellow) flower and created a mask. With the positive and negative images, I proceeded to do the Emboss Resist. My masking is very ghetto--->a piece of thin copy paper will do.
I really enjoyed the Emboss Resist technique with Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Powder. Once the the mask was in place, I could add any colors/shades to my heart's content.
I used mini sponges (without the handle) and inked up the little hearts and thought this makes the design pop even more. All inks (see here) and sequins (Crystal Reflections) are from Simon Says Stamp. The sentiment from Mom and Dad Icons was white-embossed on a piece of black card stock.
Next, it's about Fathers...
Mom and Dad Icons
All the Dads (hubby included) in my family circle love cameras! So, what could be more perfect than having a camera in my design? I used Distress Crayons to color the sentiment after white embossing. I pierced two small holes in order to add the strings around the letter A. I simply had to create this CAS design once I came up with the idea!💡 😀
Lastly, I am sharing my take with this glorious background cling stamp.
Floral Background
I decided to make a "congratulations" card since I recently got a large order of summer wedding cards from my daughter and her friends. After placing the large stamp securely in MISTI,
I applied Versamark twice to ensure the proper coverage.
I love the ease of ink-blending with Simon Says Stamp inks (Hollyhock, Teeny Bikini, Pale Blush,
Clementine, Lemon Zing, Melon). It doesn't have to be perfect as the gradient of colors speak volumes. I personally think it looks soft and romantic...my kind of wedding card. 💕
The sentiment was stamped in Versafine and then clear-embossed on vellum. I think it is quite effective with a detailed stamp such as Floral Background. I love how this turned out.
I hope you are inspired and get some ideas about this FABULOUS new release from Simon Says Stamp (see here).
In my next post, I will share my take with Sending Flowers Stamp Set.
( a sneak peek)
Last but certainly not the least, Simon Says Stamp is giving away a prize package worth over $25 to every stop on the hop from the blog comment section. The winners list will be posted on Simon Says Stamp store blog on April 11th, Tuesday.

Beautiful cards and envelopes! I love your description of your masking: ghetto! I too am very ghetto with my masking - I use whatever is on my desk, sometimes copy paper & post-it's but sometimes good craft paper (ooops, luckily most cardstock and paper is double sided)
Three wonderful cards (I think the Congratulations might be my favorite - I love the color combination you chose) and some fabulous envelopes! There are sure going to be lots of smiles when these are delivered to lucky loved ones! Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring!
These cards are so beautiful! Your color combinations are so eye-catching! Can't wait to order from this lovely release!
