Anita Jeram My Muse | Colorado Craft Company

HEY FRIENDS! I’m excited to share with you today the special Simon Says Stamp Stamptember collaboration with Colorado Craft Company. The new Anita Jeram My Muse stamp set is only available from Simon Says Stamp while supplies last so don’t delay if you want this stamp in your collection. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Featured Supplies

I love Anita Jeram’s depiction of hamsters, rabbits and mice as artists and have several in my stash including Love Art, Inspiration Hampster, Paint the Town, and The Artist. They make the perfect card for the artist or crafter in your life. I used the Art Is stamp set to create a framed piece as a gift for my brother who is a painter. The simplicity of The Muse is a wonderful addition to this theme.

Santa’s Helpers | Simon Says Stamp

HEY FRIENDS! I’m slowly working through my stash of stamps and I came across the Santa’s Helpers stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. I’m usually a one and done kind of crafter — I use a stamp once and I rarely go back and use it again. This mindset has advantages because I don’t get so attached to my stamps that I can’t destash as needed. But it does get expensive to use a stamp set just once and then set it aside indefinitely. So I decided to try to use as many of the images and sentiments from this stamp set and came up with three cards which I have to show you today. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

I want to note that I tried out a few new to me Copic color combinations, experimenting with underpainting. If you are new to underpainting, I highly recommend taking a look at this article by Amy Schulke of Vanilla Arts to help get your feet wet.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project! See you again soon!

Layering Peppermints | Simon Says Stamp

HEY FRIENDS! Today I have THREE cards using the Layering Peppermints Stencil by Simon Says Stamp. Now that July is here, it’s time to start thinking about holiday cards, especially those that can be made in bulk. Stencils make quick and easy backgrounds for cards so I experimented with three different layouts using the same products. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

HEY FRIENDS! I have a quick card for you today that features the Etched Greetings stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. And I know it’s hard to believe, but I only used four Copic markers to color the image!

Best Year Yet | Simon Says Stamp

HEY FRIENDS! I’m back today with a project featuring the Best Year Yet stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. This stamp was part of the May 2023 card kit which will probably sell out shortly, but the individual elements are available for sale on the Simon Says Stamp website. So don’t panic if the card kit is sold out – you can still buy this stamp set on its own.

I liked this stamp because the sentiments and images are basic and I can easily put together a birthday card when I need one. It seems like I never have a birthday card when I need one so this stamp set filled that need. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
