blog hop and giveaway from me

Hello Friends, Welcome today to another Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Blog Hop. If you want to start at the beginning hop go to the Simon Says Stamp blog. Today I am excited to share with you the Kelly Purkey brand for Simon Says!! Lots of exciting new products were just released to celebrate STAMPtember®. Hang on to your "cart" because I think you will be delighted with more awesome goodies as you hop along today. Before you get hopping have you seen The Kelly Purkey Project Kit? Talk about an easy & beautiful way to share life's special moments. 

"CARD"  NUMBER ONE:

If you ask me you need these feathers. I love the size of the feathers especially the width. The zebra stencil looked cool on the feather and on the background using Distress ink and Hero Arts inks. If you are a project lifer the die cut I used on my card is a way to extend your supplies.

Photo1: use a dauber to ink up your card stock with the zebra stencil. 

Photo 2: Add some distress ink & dry. Add distress stickles. 

Photo 3: Trim the "and so the adventure.... " die cut & "pop" on your card. 

Photo 4: Add another feather in brown before popping your colorful feather. 

CARD NUMBER TWO:

The second I saw this stamp set I knew I needed to use it immediately! Stamping a background makes me happy. A new way to attach vellum is washi tape! 

Photo 1: Stamp image with a variety of Hero Arts inks. (see links at bottom of post) 
Photo 2: Add highlights with some Copic markers. If you are new to Copics I suggest a "blending set"
Photo 3: Add a few more colors 
Photo 4: Stamp on vellum. Adhere some washi to card stock and trim for an accent on the vellum. You can hid the glue behind the washi tape.  

CARD NUMBER THREE:

What fun to put together this card for a friend who worries a lot. After paper piecing the letters... the white letters were added at the bottom of the card for a twist. 

This washi from the Kelly Purkey brand from Simon makes a cool pattern when you line it up on some card stock. I used this as an addition layer on my card.
