STAMPtember: Woot, You totally got this!

09/2/2021

Hey, everyone! WHOO HOO! It’s STAMPtember!!! This is a month-long PARTY hosted by Simon Says Stamp! Be sure to read to the end of the post to see a fun promotion Simon Says Stamp is offering as well as a link to some more inspiration!

Today we have an EPIC blog party! LOADS of inspiration will be shared, be sure to head on over to the Simon Says Stamp blog for more details.

STAMPtember: Woot, You totally got this!

I got the new Interlocking Leaves stamp from Simon Says Stamp, and I created this fun encouragement card with it.

Simon Says Stamp, Interlocking Leaves

I started by embossing the image on Distress White Heavystock with gold embossing powder. I then did some ink smooshing, using a piece of acetate and Distress ink. This way I could really control where the colors are going to go. I did one color at a time, and heat set in between colors. The distress ink colors I used are:

  • Kitsch Flamingo
  • Spiced Marmalade
  • Squeezed Lemonade
  • Twisted Citron
  • Salvaged Patina

I then die-cut this panel with Lawn Fawn’s Outside In Stitched Rectangle die. For the sentiment I die- cut CZ Design’s “Woot” die. The back is cut from Lawn Fawn Pixie Dust Sparkle Cardstock and the front is cut from gold metallic cardstock. I layered these together using a glue tube.

Simon Says Stamp, CZ Design Woot Wafer Die

 

Then for the smaller part of the sentiment, I gold embossed “You totally got this” from CZ Designs Simple Sentiment set.

I then matted that on gold metallic cardstock, and raised the whole sentiment off the card with foam squares

I hope this fun encouragement card inspires you! Share in the comments what your favorite part of STAMPtember is!

Be sure to head over to the Simon Says Stamp Blog today because there is a bunch of people celebrating today and have inspiration for you!

Hope you have a fabulous time during all of the STAMPtember celebrations!!
