It’s that time again – a NEW SIMON SAYS STAMP RELEASE.  Beautiful new products for us to create and play with.  My share today is created with the Simon Says Stamp Celestial Wishes Stamp and Die Set, and I created a funky one layered card using stencils and solid image stamping.  You can get the full card details below.

Does the stamp set look familiar?  It should, it’s part of the May Stamp Kit of the Month released recently.  Once the stamp kits are released, Simon adds the Stamp and Die Sets to their new release as well, so you can buy them individually, or in the kit with all the pretty paper.  See the Kit HERE.

My idea for today’s card design came from throw pillows!  I was in a home décor store the other day and I was admiring a bunch of throw pillows on display, reminiscent of the 70’s/80’s art style.  Lots of funky colors and pencil line art.  I’m old, so I’ve enjoyed this art before, LOL, so much so, I snuck a few pics because I knew they would make great card designs.  Of course I had to use a little more vivid colors than what was on display, but hey, that’s just me.

Tonight’s release is called CELEBRATE – and it celebrates all things spring, birthdays, graduation, weddings, love,  etc. (even taco Tuesday!)  There is a ton of fun new product to get your create juices flowing – VISIT SIMON SAYS STAMP CELEBRATE RELEASE

 

Celestial Wishes Stamp and Die Set

Start by securing the card base to a work surface.

Next,  use circle dies to cut out a selection of circles from 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ white card stock, to use as stencils.    Ink blend through the stencils to create circles on the card front.  I used Simon’s Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Ocean, Flannel and Pearfection.

Finally, using a Misti, layout the foliage branches and the sentiment from the Celestial Wishes Stamp and Die set.  Cover in Black ink and stamp over the circles.  Ad a few black rhinestones for some bling

Perfection – a one layer card, with a two layered fabulous ink design and you can probably make it in 10 minutes or less.

Of course you could change out the colors to anything you like together.  The original cushion I saw had harvest Gold, Avocado Green and Golden Harvest (remember those colors of appliances and shag carpets from the 70’s? ), LOL

 

This is a huge 6 x 8 stamp set with tons of elements (12 in total), 3 large sentiments and 5 small sentiments to cover almost any occasion.  As the images are solid, they are perfect to stamp over your wallpapers you have created with inks and powders, or even some of your favorite patterned Paper.  The coordinating dies make easy work of cutting out the stamped images to add as overlays too.  The Celestial Wishes Stamp and Die Set is currently on preorder, or you can order just the stamp set now.
