Tofu is the New Turkey + Blog Hop!!!

Simon Says Stamp | Cozy Hugs Release
10/08/2022

Hi everyone!

Today is the second day of an amazing Blog Hop for the new Cozy Hugs release at Simon Says Stamp!

If you’re following along on the hop you probably got here from Kath Stewart’s blog – but if not, you can start from the top at the Simon Says Stamp Blog! This hop is so much fun and filled with inspiration!

Be sure to leave a comment below (and at each stop on the hop) because Simon is giving away a $25 coupon to one commenter on each blog! Winners will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday, October 12th.

AND, from now until 10/9 at 11:59 pm EDT you can use the code COZY and get the Giant Hugs Card Wrap die for FREE with a purchase of $75 or more!

Now, for a little about my card….

You know how I mentioned earlier this week that the sentiments in the new Simon Says Stamp “Turkey Day” stamp set made me laugh out loud?? Well, today I’m back with another card I made with that set – I just couldn’t resist! And this time “Tofu is the new turkey!”

For this card, I used a stitched rectangle die to create my card front out of Desert Storm card stock. I used the same card stock to create an arched frame for my sentiment.

I stamped the sentiment in the middle of the arch frame using black pigment ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

Next, I stamped all my images using Copic-friendly ink, colored them with Copic markers, and die cut them.

I arranged my images on the arched frame, popping up the turkey and pumpkins for some added dimension.

I finished the card with a few sequins to give it some shine.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today and for joining in on our Hop! If you’re following along in order, your next stop will be Misty Elam and I can guarantee you won’t want to miss it! The full list of blogs on the hop today are:

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
