Hello my friends, I'm sharing two cards I made using the Two Step Simple Leaves stamp set, dies and stencils along with the Fluted Forest Decor Embossing Folder from Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit. The card kit has sold out but individual items from the kit are available for purchase HERE.
I began by creating a stamping template by die-cutting all the leaves from a panel of Distress Watercolor card. The dies were not included in the kit but were available to purchase separately. With the die-cuts in place, I used the Two Step Simple Leaves stencil to colour using Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Crackling Campfire and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks.I removed the die-cuts from the panel and placed each stamp from Simon Says Two Step Simple Leaves 6" x 8" stamp set into the negative spaces.I picked up the stamps on to the lid of my stamp platform, inked with Ground Espresso Distress Archival ink, replaced the die-cuts and stamped the detail. I will store the template with the stamps and dies for future use.Wednesday, October 16, 2024

Simon Says - Fall Mood Board
Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because
I am definitely feeling Autumn in the air and created a whimsical autumnal woodland scene featuring the adorable ghost from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Boo Crazy on a #8 Etcetera Tag and used Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Foliage Wreath, Vault Wicked, Vault Fright Night and Vault Gothic Portraits Thinlits with a spritz or two of Antique Linen and Rusty Hinge Distress Spritz to add a little woodland shimmer.
I fixed Stamperia patterned paper from my stash to a Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous #8 Etcetera Tag using Distress Collage Medium and added torn strips of Stamperia Secret Diary Rice Paper on top.Friday, October 11, 2024
