More notes of encouragement and a ton of inspiration with a new blog hop

It’s Day 1 of a two-day blog hop for the new Just a Note release from Simon Says Stamp. I’m sharing another card featuring my Noted stamps & dies.

I added in a simple background using the Ticking 6 x 6 cling stamp, as the base for my note. Here is my tutorial showing you how it came together:

    Cathy, as always a simple, but sweet card! I like the new ticking striped stamp, it was a great choice for the background. The wee note stamp is so cute and would also be perfect when creating junk journals.

    I love this fun and unique card- a different stamp set to add to my stash!

  20. Cheyenne Harris says

    I love this set! As a wife and boy mom who struggles with masculine cards, I could use it to make cards for my Husband and 3 sons.

  24. Andrea Robert says

    Great note card, love the choice of the background stamp to layer it on. Super video, as always!

    Cathy, you are a talented card designer creator! First you design these incredible products for us all and then you make things with the products and turn them into amazing works of art!! I am always stunned by what you come up with for each new release.

    Cathy, I just love this set! It takes me right back to passing notes in junior high, and it makes me want to send something to all of my friends! Such a great idea!

    To Cathy with a C from another Cathy with a C: I love all of your very clever designs. This is another great release! I just wish I had more $$ to spend on all of the items I need.

    You always come up with such fun, unique products, and this Just A Note set is no exception. Love it and love this release!

    Cathy, love your new “note” cards–and love the snarky designs. One does need to be careful about who you send those to. Thanks for all you do to inspire us!

  38. Lori Spitzer says

    This is such a clever set, CZ! I love it. I love the choices of comments – some snarky, some not. Keep up the awesome work!
