Simon Says Stamp Dear Friend Blog Hop: Day 1

Hello hello crafty friends and welcome back to another tutorial. I’m extremely excited to be apart of Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop Day 1 for their Dear Friend release. Simon is giving away $25 at every stop on the hop from the blog comment section, so be sure to leave a comment at each stop. Winners will be chosen on May 24th, 2023 so stay tuned. Let’s get started.
Start with an A2 size card base using white cardstock. Ink up SSS Delicate Floral Mandala using embossing ink. (treat your cardstock for heat embossing) Shake some clear embossing powder on..shake the excess off and then heat set it.
Apply the following ink starting in the middle: Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick and Carved Pumpkin. I applied these inks with SSS Blender brushes.
Run the SSS Fancy Hello through your die cutting machine using white and black cardstock. Glue the with hello on the black shadow piece.
Trim down your panel and adhere it to an A2 size card base using white cardstock. Adhere the hello sentiment using some foam tape.
That’s it. Simple, right?!? The products I used for this card and where you can find them are listed below. At no extra charge to you for using the list, you can click on them and go shopping.
