Cracker Box, Card and Tag with Layered Tulips stamp set by Simon Says Stamp

March 30, 2020

Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well!

For today I stamped a box, a card and a tag using the Layered Tulips stamp set by Simon Says Stamp.

With this layered stamp set, you can easily transform a blank piece of cardstock in something pretty!

About the process in the video:

Because I was stamping, I used Neenah Solar white 110 gm.
Note: This paper is thick and it can crack when folding this 3D project, so you need to be gentle. Avoid using a bone folder. Use your hands to fold over the scoring lines first and burnish using a Tonic card creaser.
I use a piece of black craft foam on my stamping platform that provides cushion and you will get a better impression.
I placed a piece of paper over the black foam on the platform to avoid inking my artwork in undesirable places.

Top Tips

Stamp the larger bold images with light ink colors and the smaller bold area with darker ink colors.
You can only use two bold larger images in the set to create a tone on tone compositions as I did to stamp the envelope in the picture below.
Get a stamping shammy to clean the stamps.. this was a lifesaver.

Encouragement Tags with Layered Tulips by Simon Says Stamp

March 27, 2020

Hello everyone, This was a mistake. I spoiled my watercolor stamped panel while trying to get playful with Layered Tulip stamp set by Simon Says Stamp.

To be honest, I became mesmerized by the sound of the birds in my garden.

In spite of living in these challenging times for humanity and this almost surreal situation, I couldn't help thinking how good this whole thing is for nature!!

Call me crazy but the birds in my garden sounded extra happy and I was happy for them.

I even asked "Alexa" to stop playing my fav Jazz music to carefully listen to the birds. It was beautiful. Seriously!!

Watch video here.

Anyways. I was in a very good mood so I decided to rescue somehow the spoiled panel to make a couple of tags to share with you encouraging words and this simple crafty idea.

I also used:

Nested Tags.
Tiny Words Encouragement.
Foiled Paper.

I really love the Tiny Words Encouragement stamp set!

Just perfect to complete what ended up being encouragement tags ...so suitable for the moment we all are sharing.

"Hang in there"

"Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment"

I hope you can hear the birds singing too.

Stay positive, search for help, stay connected, stay safe.

Overall stay calm and keep crafting.

I'll share more projects using this stamp set tomorrow...

Sending hugs.
