STAMPtember 2024 blog party

Happy STAMPtember everyone!!! The Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release hit the shop yesterday and today we are celebrating with a giant blog party!


Before I show you the cards I've made, check out this adorable Big Birthday Cake stencil set you can get FREE with a $30+ purchase! Don't forget to write down that code to get your stencils!

And visit the SSS blog to see all the participants because you will definitely want to see what everyone made & find out about more STAMPtember gifts!!!

Ok, now let me show you what I've made...

This might be one of my favorite cards I've made in a long time! I used the positive & negative cuts of the Oh La La Butterflies and I just love how striking a simple die can be!

First I ink blended my card front and a scrap of cardstock with Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin. Then I used some Distress Spritz Picked Raspberry over the ink blending. I just love the shimmer!

Next I die cut the Oh La La Butterflies from a card panel, stamped it with "just breathe" from the Peaceful Trees set and added a little faux black splatter with a pen. 

On top of the folded ink blended card, I built a shaker container with foam tape and filled it with my favorite Soapy Bubbles sequins and closed it with acetate.

Finally I die cut more butterflies from the scrap of ink blended cardstock, folded them in the middle for a little texture and adhered them to the card. Perhaps not a super easy to mail card but I love how it turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you again soon!

Looks like this sentiment is from the CZ trees stamp set. I would use this year round.

I am so in love with this card! The color combo and the butterflies are so beautiful. The Oh La La die set was one of my favorites from the reveal yesterday. The sizes of the Butterflies will make this set really versatile as they will fit on just about everything. I am positive this die set will become one of those items in my craft room I find myself reaching frequently.
