It’s a STAMPtember Blog Party!

September 2, 2026

It’s a STAMPtember Blog Party!

Welcome to a STAMPtember Blog Party! I’m happy to be one of MANY makers sharing cards today to celebrate STAMPtember. In fact, I love this card so very much, I’m going to re-make it for my livestream today at noon central. Set a reminder and join if you can! I’m going to try a different color scheme inspired by Nicky Noo Cards. (Please give her a follow, because she is SO talented!)

I may even mix up the design a bit… or not! It’s legit SO cute.

Here is the card I made for the livestream:

I LOVE how it turned out!

As part of today’s blog party, I have a special to share, and if you like bows, you’re going to love it:

So… all the deets are in the graphic above!

To see the home base for the blog party, and the full list of makers, visit the Simon Says Stamp blog.

I will also be giving away the card I make today on my livestream so… be sure to leave a comment if you’d like to be entered for a chance to win. The livestream begins at 12 noon central time. You can also catch it anytime on replay.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    This card is adorable! I like you you incorporated the twisted tree arch, since I recently bought that die after seeing another card you used it on with the ghost trick or treaters. Thanks for all the great ideas!

    This really is SUCH a cute card! I’m looking forward to seeing your (new?) take on it in today’s Live. Honestly I’ve never made many Halloween cards until this year but they’re just so fun!!

    AWESOME Halloween card Cathy Z. Seeing those adorable Ghosts and that tree which is Halloween perfection has me in the mood for Halloween if only the weather would cooperate and not kill the vibe, actually I think the current weather pattern we have going on in MO is cooking the Halloween vibes. The calendar says STAMPtember but it feels nothing like early fall, oh well, that means it’s best to stay in where it’s cool and follow the Hop to check out how the new products have been used by the makers.

I don’t remember what you said but it set my “giggle box” off. Thank you, Cathy, for not only being a great educator but for being a great source of fun/funny. I have a feeling you and I could get into a lot of “trouble” together. This was a phenomenal card – I liked everything about it. Have a great weekend.

  103. Lori Spitzer says

    September 3, 2026 at 7:40 pm
