A Simple Hug

Simon Says Stamp | STAMPtember® Release
09/15/2025

Hi there!

Sometimes the simplest message is the one that means the most. For Simon Says Stamp’s STAMPtember® release, I paired the new EZ Strips “You Got This” stamp set with the EZ Strips Banners die to create this clean and cheerful card. The soft pink flowers and fresh green leaves bring all the cozy, heartfelt vibes to a design that’s perfect for sending love and encouragement.

Design Highlights 💕

  • 🌸 Soft stenciled florals – The delicate pink blooms blend beautifully with soft green leaves for a light, airy background.
  • 🪡 EZ Strips sentiment – The “hugs” sentiment, stamped with the You Got This set and cut with the new EZ strips banners die, creates a crisp focal point.
  • ✨ Layered look – Mounting the sentiment strip across the flowers adds dimension without overwhelming the design.
  • 💎 Subtle sparkle – A few clear gems add a polished finish, catching the light just enough to make the card shine.

A simple hug, tucked into a handmade card, is sometimes the very best gift of all.

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!

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!
