Couple weeks ago I shared bunch of ideas using the Card Kit HERE so you can see more ideas using the September Card kit.

For my card today I decided to use the set and dies that come in the card kit. I thought the two hedgehogs were so stinkin' cute so I had to use them! 

To make the card die cut the frame twice and stack it up. Let it dry. In meantime stamp the two hedgehogs, heart and sentiment on piece of 4" x 5 1/4" white cardstock using alcohol marker friendly ink. Make sure that your little scene will fit within the frame die cut. Once stamped color it in. Adhere the frame around it. Using craft foam adhere the panel to light blue note card.

Hero Arts: Hero Kids Monsters Release, Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hi everyone!

Welcome to a special Hero Kids release, a super fun Hero Kids Monster kit!!!! Do you have kids? Or you just like monsters? This kid is perfect for you and your kids and there are so many possibilities. The kit content is below! 

Also we are celebrating the release with a hop and a give away (details on bottom). So...if you are following the hop you should have arrived from Dana Joy 's blog and your next stop is Pocono Pam. 

Be sure to visit all the blogs for super fun projects.

I decided to use one of the printed scenes and color it with alcohol based markers. Once colored I added details with white gel pen such as polka dots, stripes etc. Once I was satisfied with the look I laminated it and trimmed it. Used scissors to round the corners so they are not sharp and poky ;) You can also use corner rounder punch if you have one. 

Next I stamped the monsters from the Monster Ink 'n' Stamp Tub  on Dove White card stock with black ink. I added packing tape on the back to reinforce it. Then colored the little monsters using alcohol markers and fussy cut them. Next I ran them through sticker maker with repositionable adhesive. 

And voila...you have a fun scene to place the little monsters and move them around and provide hours of fun for little ones. My 5yo loved this! 

Scroll down for the full blog hop list, supplies and giveaway details! 

 

Pre-order the Kids Monster Kit today! Once sold out, the kit will be gone. The kit and any items ordered with the kit will ship together starting October 9, at the same time as our upcoming October My Monthly Hero Kit.

Kit Contents:

• Monster Ink 'n' Stamp Tub (18 stamps + 1 ink)

Crafting is a great way to teach creative play, get to know colors and color properties, inspire imagination, and much more. Non-toxic and child-safe Inks are not ideal for kids 5 and younger as they can stain clothing and may require multiple washes if they get on skin.

Impression Obsession: Old is New

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!

Sometimes we get so busy with new released stamps that we forget about our old favorites. The Impression Obsession team has set aside a couple days a month to share some new projects using some great older stamps. You can see the list of today’s participants on the Impression Obsession blog.

For my card today I used the clear set "Pretty Pitcher"

To make the card start by stamping the pitcher and sentiment using IO black Hybrid ink. Create mask for the top portion and stamp the branches and adders to create "bouquet". Color with alcohol markers. Trim the panel to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to note card.

If you are following the hop you probably arrived from Tanya Boser and your next stop is the amazing Becky Roberts

I have couple cards to share today. The first one uses the new Chase Me background building stamp. I used my MISTI to stamp it couple times and to create ombre effect. I used Bellini, Coral Cabana and Samba inks. Once stamped I trimmed the stamped area to 3 3/4" x 5" and set aside. I die cut the Hello word die from white and black card stock (the black one is die cut 3 times and the die cuts are stacked). Stamped the sentiment on black and embossed in white. 

Assembled the card.

For the second card I used the same Hello die along with the branch die and the Floral stencil. I used Distress oxides and Gel Press along with the stencil to create the background. Once the background was dry cut it down to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to white note card. Add the die cuts to finish it off. 

Ink Blot Shop STAMPtember set is LIVE

 Happy Saturday!

Second post!!!  Today Simon Says Stamp has 2 collaboration sets (Hero Arts see previous post and Ink Blot Shop) and the Ink Blot Shop the exclusive STAMPtember set is called Life is an Adventure! Also there is a bundle available with the coordinating dies It's 4x6 set that features several images and you can build different scenes. Also includes one boy and one girl image and they are the cutest.

Below is a sample card I made with the set. 

To make the card start with a piece of white card stock and stamp the sky line. Make a mask from mask paper and mask off the bottom park. Ink blend the sky (I used Navy and Grape Juice inks), splash some white ink and white shimmer spray to make the "Stars". Let it dry. Once dry color the trees and the tent using Copic markers.

Mask off the sky and the images you colored. Ink blend the grass. Stamp the little girl and moon color and cut them out. 

Stamp sentiment and stars onto the ink blended panel and emboss in white (sentiment) and sparkle (stars) embossing powder. Adhere the images and adhere to side folding white note card.
