Happy STAMPtember!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! STAMPtember is here!! Today I am sharing two projects featuring the Fable Sitting Fox.

How cute is he?!? I am smitten with this adorable sitting fox.

I used the following products to create this card:

~Fable Sitting Fox die

~Twisted Tree Arch die set

~Pumpkin Spice stamp set (for the sentiment)

I simply ink blended the background in Villianous Potion and Black Soot on the edges. I splattered some brown ink and let that panel dry. I die cut all of the pieces, did a little ink blending on them and adhered them together. I used a some color theory when I was designing this card – the purple certainly makes the orange fox pop!

For this card, I kept it clean and simple!

I used the following products from Simon Says Stamp:

~ Fable Sitting Fox die

~ Beautiful Friend die

~ Floral Borders stencil

To create this card, I cut a stitched rectangle out of white card stock. I used the following inks on the stencil: Pearfection, Pucker and Orchid. Since this is a one layer stencil, I had to do a lot of masking. But it was worth it! I love how it turned out. Lastly, I die cut the sentiment and the fox and adhered them to the panel.

Which card is your favorite?

It’s STAMPtember!!

Welcome to day one of STAMPtember, a month-long celebration dedicated to stamping, crafting, and card making. This annual event joins crafters from all over the world to explore new techniques, share inspiring projects and, of course, indulge in all things stamping. We are celebrating 15 years!

I am excited to join in the festivities again this year! Today, I am showcasing a card featuring two fabulous new products from Simon Says Stamp: the Big Bow die and Big Holiday Words stamp set. These products are perfect for adding a bold and festive touch to your holiday cards.

I used a teal color palette to create a modern and refreshing split-front, holiday card. The Big Bow die is the star, and I love how it pops against the white background. I ink blended the bow to give it a velvet-like appearance. I love how it turned out. This bow die can be used for various occasions beyond the holidays. And it is easy to assemble.

For the sentiment, I used the Big Holiday Words stamp set. This stamp set includes many bold script greetings with simple sub-sentiments. The “Merry and Bright” sentiment fits perfectly with the bow and adds a cheerful message. I stamped it in Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Ocean to tie the whole design together.

To add texture, I embossed the front panel with the Vine Canopy embossing folder. This subtle detail enhances the overall design without overpowering the main elements.

This card was fun to create and I can’t wait to see what everyone makes with these amazing new products. Whether you are creating holiday cards, gift tags, or scrapbook pages, the Big Bow die and the Big Holiday Words stamp set will make great addition to your craft room.
