Hi there peeps and happy Friday! It has been a crazy couple of weeks and I am really happy to see the weekend! I have been busy with little things and my parents take up a lot of my time now. I did manage to squeeze in a card or two. I really have started to embrace it as an escape again and that is exactly what I need! I have been enjoying all of the Stamptember releases from Simon but not really enough to get any! I did really like the Pinkfresh one but by the time I remembered to look the one with the stencil had already sold out. On well, guess I didn’t need it! A little package arrived yesterday with some extras in it so hopefully I will get some time to play this weekend!
Today’s card is a nice simple one. I used the Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Dance Stamps to stamp the sunflower and all of the butterflies in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Hammermill 100lb Paper using my Mini Misti. I colored the images in with Ohuhu Markers and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I cut out another piece of card stock and backed the images for a little extra stability. The greeting is from the same set and is stamped in Simon Says Stamp VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I also cut an extra to back that too. A piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb is cut out with the Simon Says Stamp A2 Postage Rectangles Dies and I ink blended some Simon Says Stamp Marine Ink onto it. It’s added to a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Simon Says Stamp Big Momma Foam Tape. The greeting is added with Bearly Arts Glue. For my traditional bling addition I used Simon Says Stamp Starshine Embellishment Mix Sequins. I also added the 40 using the Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Tiny Type Upper Dies.
I do love anything postage/mail related. You could add the person’s age to the “stamp” for a little fun! I hope that you liked today’s card and I so appreciate you stopping by and spending a little time with me today! Enjoy your weekend! 🙂
