Making Spirits Bright Blog Hop and Giveaway!

Welcome everyone to the Making Spirits Bright Blog hop!! If you've come from Laura Bassen's blog, you're in the right place!! Have you had a chance to browse all the new goodies? Super fun stuff right?

I've created a card using the Fa La La Die and Fa La La stamp set for my holiday card. I tried to keep in mind that most of us make multiple cards so keeping it simple is key! I cut strips of papers to add color to my otherwise white on white background and finished up with some Holly from the

Holly Fanfare die.

Tags! I can never have enough tags. These are created from the Merry and Bright stamps and coordinating dies. Quick, Easy and CUTE!!!

GIVEAWAY!!!!

Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from our blog comments. They’ll choose the winners over the weekend and post on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Tuesday. Good Luck to you all, be sure to comment on all the stops along the hop!

Simon Says Stamp Ornate Leaves!

Are you ready for fall? I'm actually not because that means winter is right around the corner.

BUT... I do like the colors that fall brings.

I've created a couple cards using the Ornate Leaves from the STAMPtember® release. These cards are simple, not really any technique here; I just let the stamps and inks do the job of creating the beauty.

These stamps... oh my my!! So easy...so dramatic! Oh and could that paper go any better with these images? It was amazing that the yellow went so well (I didn't plan it out)!!

I can see the pumpkin image being used as a place setting card for the Thanksgiving table. I used Clementine ink for the main part of the pumpkin, then edged it with Orange Peel ink. The stem was colored with a Peeled Paint Distress Marker.
