Watercolor Bouquet Tag Cards

Hello my friends, I'm back to share tag cards I made using products from Simon Says Stamp Watercolor Bouquet March 2026 card kit. You can check out what is included in the kit, subscribe if you don't already or purchase individual items from the kit, if you wish, HERE.

I created a trio of tag cards using the small tags included in the kit along with the left over Watercolor Bouquet die-cuts from yesterday and the Brushstroke Greetings stamps and co-ordinating dies.

I inked around the edges of the #5 tags using Marine, Violet and Rhubarb Pawsitively Saturated Mini Ink Cubes. I inked the sentiments from the Brushstroke Greetings stamp set with the same inks and stamped repeatedly to create a tone-on-tone effect backgrounds.

Click HERE for the link to yesterday's blog post with details of stamping and die-cutting the Watercolor Bouquet flowers and leaves.

I inked the sentiments from Brushstroke Greetings with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, stamped on to Distress Watercolor card and die-cut using the Brushstroke Greetings co-ordinating dies. The dies are not included in the kit but are available to purchase separately.

I fixed the die-cut flowers, leaves and sentiment die-cuts to each tag using Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Glue and the 3D Foam Pads included in the kit.

I added splatters using Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Silver Splatter Medium, also included in the kit.

I fixed a hanger and bow to the tags using gingham ribbon from my stash.

To finish I fixed the tags to Distress Black HeavyStock trimmed to be 1/4" larger, fixed to top folding white card blanks, also trimmed into tag shapes and added dots to the flower centres using a Sakura Black Glaze Pen.

I still have loads of left over flowers and leaves, so expect another project coming soon.

Simon Says - Watercolor Bouquet

Hello my friends, I was so excited when Simon Says Stamp March 2026 card kit - Watercolor Bouquet arrived in the cubbyhole. Oh boy this kit is jammed pack with lots of fabulous products to inspire your creativity and kick start your Spring themed card making. You can check out what is included in the kit, subscribe if you don't already or purchase individual items from the kit, if you wish, HERE.

I created a card using watercolor stamping, one of my favourite techniques and the Watercolor Bouquet stamp set is perfect to create that loose watercolor effect using the exclusive set of Pawsitively Saturated Mini Ink Cubes and the Brushstroke Greetings stamp set for the sentiment.

I inked the flowers and leaves from the Watercolor Bouquet stamp set using all the colours from the exclusive set of Pawsitively Saturated Mini Ink Cubes included in the kit. I added shading to the stamps using contrasting colours applied with Simon Says Stamp Round Detail Blending Brushes, spritzed the stamps with water and stamped on to the Distress Watercolor cardstock included in the kit.

I die-cut the stamped images using the Watercolor Bouquet set of co-ordinating dies, not included in the kit but available to purchase separately as an add on.
I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4", smooshed the Marine Pawsitively Saturated Mini Ink Cube on to my media mat, spritzed with water, pressed the panel on to the ink, dried and tapped back on to the ink to pick up the remaining droplets. I stamped the greeting from Simon Says Stamp Brushstroke Greetings on to the panel, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.

I fixed the die-cut flowers and leaves in place using Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Glue and the 3D Foam Squares included with the kit. To tie in with the black sentiment, I added dots to the flower centres and berries using a Memento Black Pen.

I wound the May Arts Twine included in the kit around the top of the panel, tied in a bow and fixed the panel to an A2 top folding white card blank.

I have lots of die-cut flowers and leaves left over so I'll be back soon to share more makes using this beautiful kit, in the meantime, have fun with whatever you are making.

Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous - The Professor Suite

Hello my friends, I'm back to share what I made with the fourth set of dies released by Simon Says Stamp that co-ordinate with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous The Professor and The Professor 2 stamp sets.

I used both stamp sets and the co-ordinating dies to decorate a Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Etcetera Tag.

I fixed Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Backdrops Vol.1 paper to the Mini Etcetera Tag using Distress Collage Medium and a Collage Brush. I sanded off the excess using a Mini Round Blendung Tool and Distress Sanding Disk.

I trimmed sections from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Orange Palette Collection paper, fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium and applied a light coat of the Collage Medium over the tag.

I stamped the image from The Professor 2 inked with Versamark ink on to the tag, sprinkled with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Embossing Glazes and heat set.

I stamped the second image on to the tag, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival.

I scribbled Walnut Stain Distress Crayon around the edges of the tag and the collage pieces and smudged with my finger.

I stamped the images from The Professor and The Professor 2 on to Distress Watercolor card, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival and coloured with Distress Watercolor Pencils (linked below) using a Distress Detailer Brush.

I fixed Tim Holtz/idea-ology Typography letters and stars to double sided tape and painted with Vintage Photo Distress Paint.

I stamped the circle image from The Professor on to Idea-ology Plain Collage Paper, inked with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink, sprinkled with Walnut Stain Distress Embossing Glaze and heat set. I painted water around the images, teased away the excess and fixed to the tag using Distress Collage Medium and Distress Collage Brush. I die-cut the stamped images using Simon Says Stamp The Professor Suite co-ordinating dies and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium and Simon Says Stamp 3D Foam Squares.

I sanded back the Typography and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium.

Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned.

SPRITZ AND SPLATTER

I used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Hearts Layering Stencil, Love Notes stamp set, Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Spray and Frayed Burlap Distress Spritz, Simon Says Stamp Lace Hearts, Fancy Love and Ornamental Fine Leaves Wafer Dies to create Love themed shaker cards.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to create 2 - 3.3/4" x 5" panels, spritzed Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Spray through the panel on the left, flipped the stencil over, spritzed with water, pressed on to the panel on the right and dried both panels.

I used Simon Says Stamp Lace Heart wafer dies to create frames die-cut from Distress Watercolor card.

I used the smaller heart die to cut apertures from the panels.

I inked the edges of the heart frames with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink using a mini round blending tool, fixed the frames in place with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Glue, added splatters of Frayed Burlap Distress Spritz and fixed acetate behind the apertures.

I stamped the sentiments and hearts from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Love Notes, inked with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink on to A2 panels of Distress Watercolor card.

I used GinaK Shaker Strips to create a heart shaped well, added Simon Says Stamp Tidal Wave Embellishment Mix, Trinity Stamps Creamy Vanilla Heart Sprinkles and Distress Rock Candy Chunky Glitter and fixed the top panel in place.

I die-cut Simon Says Stamp Fancy Love from Distress Watercolor card, shaded the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink and fixed in place with Simon Says 3D Thin Foam Squares. I die-cut Simon Says Stamp Fruitful Berries from Distress Watercolor card, coloured with Candied Apple, Tumbled Glass and Pine Needles Distress Oxide inks using Detail Round Blending Brushes and fixed to the panels. (The Fruitful Berries dies seem to be discontinued so I have linked an alternative below)
