SSS Hugs and Kisses Release Blog Hop – Day 2

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
Welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Hugs and Kisses Release Blog Hop. I am so happy to be a part of this beautiful blog hop! If you arrived here from super talented Miriam Prantner’s blog you are on the right track.

For my first card, I used the From the Heart Messages, Nested Round Hearts and Lace Heart Kaleidoscope Background. I heat embossed the beautiful sentiment in the From the Heart Messages set onto white cardstock in white, die cut it with the largest sized heart die, and then ink blended it with Festive Berries & Fired Brick Distress inks. For the background, I stamped the Lace Heart Kaleidoscope using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink. I coloured all tiny hearts with Copic R27.



Here is another heart card with the From the Heart Messages and Nested Round Hearts. I die cut 4 different hearts from colour cardstock – I used Rich Red Matte Metallic, Cotton Candy and Lipstick Red cardstock. For the sentiment heart die cut, I heat embossed the sentiment on watercolour paper in white, inked it with Tattered Rose Distress ink.

For the background, I used the Spun Glass embossing folder.


For my last card, I used the Large Stitched Maple die. This maple die is not belong to the Hugs and Kisses Release but I thought, I really don’t know, it was one of the new products, haha! More card, happy to see, right?!!

I die cut the Large Stitched Maple from pastel coloured cardstock, randomly adhered them on an A2 sized white card base using foam tape. Easy-peasy, right?! :)

SSS Hugs to YOU!

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023!!
I am so happy to share with you my cards again. I probably can’t make a card often due to my busy full time job, but I plan to share mine steadily!! :)

For my first card, I used the Simon Says Stamp Stained Glass Heart die along with other SSS goodies. I dry embossed an A2 sized white paper panel with the new Spun Glass embossing folder, and then decorated the panel with 2mm white pearls. I just wanted to make a classic and elegant look. I die cut the Stained Glass Heart from ETC Paper Rainbow Assortment Glitter Paper – I used glitter white, rose gold and magenta colours. I also die cut the Olive Leaves from thick white cardstock.

I mounted the white panel on white card base using Dot Runner Adhesive first, and then added glitter heart on the centre of the card using Pawsitively Perfect White Foam Tape. Tiny flowers & leaves on the centre of the heart, applied them with Nuvo Jewel Drops.



For my second card, I used the A Glazing Day stamp set – there are lots of yummy doughnuts in one set! I randomly stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black, coloured all stamped images with Copic markers.

I decorated on all doughnuts with Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter, Morning Dew Crystal Drops and cute PPP Clay Confetti.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day.

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS Very Merry Christmas

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
Today I have a couple of snowflakes Christmas cards with Simon Says Stamp Refined Snowflakes embossing folder and die set.

I placed an A2 sized watercolour paper panel into the Refined Snowflakes embossing folder, ran through die cutting machine – I dry embossed and debossed the panel. I then inked the snowflakes panel with Crushed Olive, Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans Distress inks. I added water drops and opaque white ink splatters.

I die cut the larger snowflake from the embossed panel with the matching die, and die cut the Daphne Snowflake from thick white cardstock as well. I mounted the panel on white card base using Dot Runner Adhesive first, and then added two snowflakes using foam tape as shown in the picture.



Here is one more card with the Refined Snowflakes embossing folder and die set. I dry embossed onto Neenah Desert Storm paper panel first, and then rubbed on surface of the panel with white pigment ink – I looooove this technique so much!! I die cut snowflakes from thick white cardstock, “peace” sentiment from Lipstick Red cardstock, then adhered them to the centre of the card front using foam tape.

Here is a closer look:



Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS Yay You Release Blog Hop – Day 1

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to Day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Yay You Release Blog Hop. I’m so happy to be a part of this awesome blog hop! If you arrived here from super talented Cheiron Brandon’s blog you are on the right track.

For my first card, I’m featuring brand new Arched Greens Background stamp & Happily Ever After dies.

I started by making floral background with the Arched Greens Background stamp. I heat embossed floral images onto watercolour paper using white embossing powder, ink blended the stamped paper with Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose and Scattered Straw Distress inks, and then trimmed it down with A2 sized Basic Rectangle Panel die.

I die cut the word “Happily Ever After” from thick white cardstock, shadow from vellum paper, and then glued them together. I mounted the floral panel on white card base using Dot Runner Adhesive, added the sentiment die cut on the centre of the card using foam tape, and then decorated the sentiment with tiny butterflies and wedding ring.

For my second card for the hop, I used the new Arches stencil along with other SSS products.

I made 4 different coloured Arches pattern stripes – applied Distress inks over the stencil, then cut each stripe using the largest sized stripes die in the Strips 2 die set. I also die cut thin stripes from Matte Silver Mirror cardstock using the Strips 1 die set. I adhered all stripes on the Woodgrain White card base as shown in the picture.

For the centre of the card, I added Etched Delicate Frond & black sentiment banner using foam tape.

Floral Friday: SSS Blooming Wave

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
Today I have a couple of cute floral cards with the Simon Says Stamp Blooming Wave die.

Sometimes, especially when I lost my mojo, I followed other artists’ artwork and I think it would be the best way to get my mojo back, haha!

As soon as I saw this picture from Pinterest, I really wanted to make a floral card. :D


Ta-da! I used small sized flowers and leafy die. I die cut small flowers from white cardstock using the Blooming Wave die, leaves from Smoke Gray cardstock using the Vine Background die. I then applied green coloured Distress inks to all leaves using blending tool.

I made floral patterned panel using the Detail Petal Plate die, added all elements as shown in the picture. Oh, and I didn’t forget to add water drops using Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops.


Here is another floral card with the Blooming Wave die. I mounted the sentiment “With All My Heart” on the centre of the floral grey panel first, and then added small flowers around the sentiment using foam tape.


Isn’t this flower so cute?!!
