Hi card making friends and welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp You Did, Blog Hop and Give Away. We have tons of inspiration for you today on the hop. I have 3 cards to share with you created with the You Did Stamp and Die set designed by Cathy Zielske for Simon Says Stamp. This fun set is fabulous for Weddings and Anniversary, or just love in general, with a bit of a tongue in cheek attitude to it – or snarky as some say, haha, and I love it.

I decided to create clean and simple cards with the set as I’ve been on a bit of a color rampage of late. So I’m taking it down a bit today for those of you who like clean and simple.
Simon Says Stamp You Did Card #1
Start by placing a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Hammermill White cardstock inside the Pepperberry Embossing Folder and run it through the die cutting machine
Next, wrap the gold cord around the center three times, angling as you go. Secure the ends on the back and then attach the card front to a top folding A2 sized card base.
Then, using the Nested Hearts dies, die cut a small white and medium gold heart. Emboss the white heart with the same embossing folder as the card front.
Finally, on a small piece of white cardstock, Gold heat emboss the heart stamp and the sentiment. Color with copic markers and then cut out with the coordinating dies.
Copics Used: RV34, RV17, RV17
Use Foam squares to attach the layers to the card front.
Simon Says Stamp You Did Card 2
Start by stamping the small hearts in a grid across the 4″ x 5-1/4″ white card front in VersaMark Ink. Cover with gold embossing powder, shake off the excess and heat set.
Next, color the hearts with the RV17 marker
Then, gold emboss the bouquet and sentiment onto a scrap of white cardstock and again, color with the same copic markers and then cut out with the coordinating die.
Finally, use the Circle Thin Frames to cut a circle from an orangy/pink card stock. Attach to the center of the card with foam squares, then add the bouquet and sentiment.
Create a bow with the gold twine and glue it to the bottom of the bouquet.
Simon Says Stamp You Did – Card #3
Start by cutting a piece of mirror gold cardstock 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and adhering to the front of a top folding A2 sized card base.
Next, use the A2 Thin Frames to cut two smaller layers from white cardstock. Emboss the larger one with the Pepperberry Embossing Folder and attach to the center of the card.
Then, using a Misti, stamp the sentiment and champagne glasses in VersaMark and gold emboss them. Use a YR24 copic marker to color in the champagne.
Finally, use foam squares to attach the art piece to the center of the card.
