Hi there!

It’s STAMPtember® ! One of my absolute favorite times of the year for the crafting and card-making industry. All month long, Simon Says Stamp celebrates…well…stamping! I’m super excited to be part of the celebration again this year and will be sharing inspiration all month long.

A Quick Refresher on STAMPtember®:

As usual, STAMPtember® starts out with a Simon release with brand new products (not just stamps!). The products in the Simon release will be available even after STAMPtember®  and will be re-stocked if supplies run low.

As the month moves on, each day Simon will release a new, exclusive, collaboration set. Collaboration sets are sets where Simon has worked with other vendors to create something unique for STAMPtember® . Collaboration sets are only available at Simon Says Stamp store and only while supplies last – so be sure to check in every day to see what set (or sets) are released.

Today, I’m kicking off STAMPtember®  with a couple of fun new products for Simon’s release….so let’s dive in:

Sometimes a card takes a little experimenting, and that’s where the magic often happens! For this STAMPtember® design, I paired the Stitched Flowers Embossing Folder with some soft masking and ink blending to highlight the blooms. A scattering of vibrant gems in the flower centers adds the perfect pop of sparkle, while the bold sentiment strips (new EZ sentiment strips and the new EZ Banner die) from the collection ground the design and keep the focus crisp.

Design Highlights ✨

• 🌸 Embossed floral texture – The Stitched Flowers Embossing Folder creates dimension and depth, making the background feel detailed and tactile.
• 🎨 Masked ink blending – Soft pink tones blended over the flowers bring color and warmth while letting the embossing shine through.
• 💎 Gem centers – Bold, vibrant gems add sparkle and create eye-catching flower centers.
• 🖤 Striking sentiment – The sentiment strips from the STAMPtember® collection provide balance with their clean, modern look.

This one came together perfectly to create a card that feels fresh, bright, and birthday-ready!

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!
