Simon Says Stamp Rest & Refresh Blog Hop Day 1

June 7, 2019

Simon Says Stamp Rest & Refresh Blog Hop Day 1

Hello and welcome to Day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Rest and Refresh Blog hop! First things first: Simon is offering a decidedly summery ink pad, free with any purchase if you use the code in the graphic above (CRL898) at checkout! (While supplies last.)  So there’s that, now for my card project…

There are so many fun new releases and projects to inspire your summer crafting so let’s jump in! If this is your first time at my blog, welcome! I’m glad you stopped by!

The star of my card today is the Wild Flowers 6 x 8 stamp set.

This set features two large images of wildflowers and I thought they would be perfect for silhouette stamping with a deep black ink!

I have a video showing you how I created this card and the video includes one little mistake I’m including to remind you of one cardinal rule: always let Versafine Onyx Black ink dry completely. You’ll see what I mean!

Now onto the hop details…

HOP DETAILS: Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 store coupon at every stop along the blog hop! Visit all the hop blogs, leave a comment and increase your chances of winning! Winners will be announced on the Simon blog on June 12.  This is a two-day hop so be sure to check out Day 2 on Saturday, June 8! Here are today’s blog hoppers:

    Cathy, that is a fabulous card! I just love the colours you used & the black just about jumps off the page. I usually stamp with Memento ink, but the times I’ve used VersaFine I’ve made the mistake of not remembering it has to dry & smudged. Making two card panels is a good idea. Thanks for participating & inspiring us!

    Beautiful card!!! I also love to get very black stamped images…stamping once or twice doesn’t do it all the time! I am so very close to getting one/two of the misti’s based on all of your videos! I’m curious though…since cost is a bit of a factor…if we can only get one…would you go for the small or medium one? I think I’d like the ability to do slightly larger things with the medium one…but the small just seems so handy and easy to move around my work space. Thanks again for sharing your fabulous projects!!
