Clean, Simple, and a Little Spooky: Boo to You!
Spooky season is here, and I’m kicking it off with this clean and simple Halloween card featuring the new Fall and Halloween Dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with Tim Holtz stamps! 🦉 I kept the design minimal but playful, with a Copic-colored owl in a witch hat, a softly blended background, and a bold “boo” to make you smile. 💚🧙♀️ This is the first in a 7-card series, so stay tuned for more spooky fun coming soon!
S’more Fun with Friends
Campfire vibes and critter cuteness? Yes, please! 🏕️ I created this playful scene using products from Simon Says Stamp’s new “Happy Camper” release. The critters, tent, and camper were colored with Copic markers, while the softly blended background sets the scene. It’s the perfect reminder that everything is s’more fun with friends! 🔥💚
Double the Fun – Mid Century Style
Geometric goodness, retro vibes, and double the technique fun! I used the Mid Century Elemental Plate from the Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release to create this clean and modern fall card. 🍁 I die cut colorful shapes for the top and embossed the card front using the same plate with a rubber embossing pad. It’s a fresh twist on a timeless design! 🧡💛🤎
Bold Blooms & Big Smiles – Plus and Instagram Hop
Bold blooms and bright colors take center stage in this card I created with the Delicate Blossoms background stamp from Simon Says Stamp’s “Happy Camper” release 🌸. I colored the florals with Copic markers, added crisp black accents, and finished with a simple sentiment strip. It’s cheerful, fresh, and perfect for sending a smile! 🖤 See all the design details now on the blog!
Shoot for the Moon!
This rocket-fueled card took a fun twist when some wayward white splatter created the perfect trail behind my astronaut pup 🚀. I used products from the new Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release to build this space scene, complete with a Copic-colored Earth and deep galaxy background. Sometimes the best details are the ones you didn’t plan! 🌍✨
An Apple for the Teacher
School is (almost) back in session and it’s the perfect moment to celebrate those amazing educators! I created this sweet teacher-themed card using the Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release. The garden scene is tucked into an apple die from my stash, making it just right for back-to-school. I colored the images with Copic markers and built the design around a bold red strip that gives it a pop of classroom color. 🍎✂️
Soft Florals & Sweet Wishes
Soft florals and sweet vibes 🌸💙 This card features the Happy Day stamp set from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like Yourelease, brought to life with a no-line watercolor technique using my Zig markers. The large blue bloom steals the show, balanced by pops of pink and delicate greenery. A clean layout, subtle embellishments, and a simple sentiment wrap it all up in feel-good style. 💧✨
Up, Up, and Hello!
Up, up, and hello! ☁️🌈 This cheerful card features products from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like You release—and it’s all about bold color and soft texture. I colored the hot air balloons with Copic markers for a vibrant, rainbow look, then set them against a dreamy embossed cloud background. A few black splatters and sparkly embellishments add just the right amount of whimsy. Simple, bright, and full of lift! 🎈✨
You Light Up My Life
This card is bringing the fireworks! 🎆 Featuring products from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like You release, it’s all about color, cuteness, and a whole lot of heart. Two sweet critters take in the show under a bright sky filled with stamped fireworks (with a little sparkle added, of course ✨). The circular window adds depth, while a forest tree line keeps things grounded. A sweet sentiment ties it all together: You light up my life! 💚
