SSS – STAMPtember Christmas

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card made using a couple different STAMPtember release items!

Here is a list of items used to create this card…

• Simon Says Stamps and Dies MERRY CHRISTMAS TREES
• Simon Says Cling Stamp CONCENTRIC DOODLE
• Simon Says Stamp – Large Blending Brushes
• Simon Says Stamp Ink – Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad SEAFOAM
• Simon Says Stamp Ink – Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad SURF
• Simon Says Stamp Ink – Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad OCEAN
• Simon Says Stamp Mega Thick 130 lb Card stock
• Simon Says Stamp Embossing Ink Pad CLEAR INK
• Simon Says Stamp – White Embossing Powder
• Simon Says Stamp Dot Tape Roller
• Lucy’s Cards – Vellum Sequins
• Gina K Connect Glue
• Neenah Classic Crest 110 lb card stock – card base

I started by using a panel of Simon Says Stamp Mega Thick 130 lb Card stock (which is my favorite for ink blending!). I love this Simon Says Cling Stamp CONCENTRIC DOODLE stamp. Its beautiful red rubber and I have so many ideas to use with it! for this card, I thought it looked like a snowflake, so I stamped it using Simon’s new Simon Says Stamp Ink – Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad OCEAN ink pad. These inks are completely different than their original line. They are water reactive, juicy, and so so so bright. After I let it dry, I began ink blending using Simon Says Stamp – Large Blending Brushes. I started with SEAFOAM, covering the whole panel, then adding in SURF about half way up, and finishing with OCEAN at the bottom.

I let the panel dry before I inked up the Simon Says Stamps and Dies MERRY CHRISTMAS TREES with Simon Says Stamp Embossing Ink Pad CLEAR INK and White Embossing Powder. I heat set the embossing powder and then added Lucy’s Cards – Vellum Sequins which happened to be some of my favorite sequins. I wanted them to look like snow fall here.

Added the panel to the card base and viola! Oh yeah, I was so excited to create a card that I completely forgot the sentiment, but I liked the card as it was. A simple winter scene to be sent out when the temperature drops.
