It's been a long time since I collected shells at the beach. Instead I'm making a rainbow of fish and shells using the Beachcomber Shells and Fun Fish from Simon Says Stamp's Shine On Release. The result is a Bright Beachy Summer Card againtst the finely textured Dotty Corner embossed background. Join me at the beach today and let's walk through some highlights of making this card focused mainly on vibrant ink-blending.

The Pawsitively Saturated Inks from Simon Says Stamp give you so many options to create a beautiful color story for your crafting. Today, I'm choosing some of my favorite blues and greens to do some bold paper-piecing with the Tall Happy Cover from Simon Says Stamp's Shine On Release. This card is all about the color and with the help of a bold die like this one, you can quickly have a fresh and fabulous Cover Plate Summer Statement card for your Seasonal crafting!

You don't need a lot of skill or time to color these cuties from the Balloon Critters Stamp Set included in Simon Says Stamp's Shine On Release. Adding a little texture in the background our scene and pairing it with simple spotlight inking, you will have an adorable Balloon Critters Birthday Card in no time.

Do you make time for "Just Because" cards? They don't necessarily celebrate a specific occasion, but can just add a little sunshine, smile or chuckle to someone's day. I focused on smiles today so I chose the Quirky Daisy die set from Simon Says Stamp's Shine On Release for my Quirky Daisy Greeting Card. The colors evoke a sunny Summer day where a few blooms are attracting our BEAUTIFUL FLOURISH BUTTERFLY.
