Hello crafty friends! Wow! just wow! I’m SO honoured to be joining Simon Says Stamp Hop To It Release Blog Hop. Full of amazing stamps and dies are perfect for making Spring themed and Easter projects!! One word. Extraordinary designs!!
For my first card, I used Abby’s Spring Showers Stamp Set. All images are so darling, this set is definitely one of my favourite one among new released products.
1) I stamped bunny, flowerpot, umbrella in one layer on the watercolour paper panel using VersaFine Pigment Ink Onyx Black. I used sticky note to mask the bunny image to stamp it overlapping. 2) Once dry, I coloured stamped images with Distress Markers. 3) For umbrella, I paper pieced with patterned papers. 4) For the sentiments, I stamped them with VersaFine Pigment Ink Onyx Black and heat embossed them in clear. 5) To finish it off, I stitiched the left side of the watercolour panel and also under the bunny image and added some clear sequins.
“Rain, rain go away~ HAPPY SPRING!!” Yes, spring is definitely in the air!!
I also used Abby’s Spring Showers Stamp Set for my second card. I made no-line watercolour background card with adorable bear!!!
1) For my no-line watercolour background: I die cut to the watercolour paper using Simon Says Stamp Stitches Rectangles Die -larest one- and I stamped the bear and outlined heart stamps using Distress Ink Antique Linen. -Distress ink reacts with water, which makes it easily to give an illusion that the images wasn’t even stamped after you’ve after coloured it- and then coloured them with Distress Markers. 2) I made small circle window to the bottom side of the watercolour panel using Simon Says Stamp Stitches Circles Die for putting bear into it. 3) I stamped the bear using VersaFine Pigment Ink Onyx Black and then coloured with Distress Markers. 4) To finish it off, I tied the twine and added some 4mm clear sequins.
My last card for the hop that I made with another awesome stamp set called ‘Work Out‘. When I saw this image, I couldn’t resist Copic colouring. 1) I stamped the girl with Memento Dye Ink Tuxedo Black and coloured with Copic markers and then cut it using matching die. 2) For the background, I made my own sun rays with Distress Ink Squeezed Lemonade using sponge dauber. 3) I cut ‘Way to go!’ word die 6 times and affixed all pieces together -I wanted to make thicker like chipboard. 4) I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Pigment Ink Onyx Black and heat embossed it in clear. 5) Sparkly clear sequins were the finishing touches.

I enjoyed all three cards, but adore the “Way To Go” workout card the most.
Your cards are just wonderful! The cards show how versatile the stamps are and how creative you are with different approaches. Thanks for showing me other ways to extend the life of my stamps!

Great cards. Thanks so much. I love the paper pieced umbrella. (I’m a quilter)

Thank you for these wonderful cards! How did you adhere the 6 dies together so perfectly? Can I use chipboard in a Big Shot to achieve the same look or would that break my cutter?
Thanks for stopping by. I adhered them using fine tip glue pen. And I use cuttlebugs… So… I don’t know the big shot… Sorry for that.
Love the stamped background for the bear. Really good idea. Thanks for sharing.
I REALLY like your cards!! So beautiful and designed so well. Thank you for a chance to win!
