Greeting card with blue flowers and yellow butterflies on a green background. Text reads "hello friend." Bright and cheerful design.

Hello Lovelies! This is my favorite crafting month as STAMPtember® 2025 is here from Simon Says Stamp. During STAMPtember®, in addition to a blockbuster main release of crafting goodies, we're going to get exclusive releases on many days from some of our favorite brands.

Speaking of the main release... I can never resist new ink colors, so we are kicking off STAMPtember® with swatches and an HBD card. Today's card is super easy as we are ink-blending, then embossing with the new Boho Flowers folder, and finishing with tinting the Happy Birthday die-cut with our new inks.

Floral card with "Happy Birthday" text, featuring embossed flowers and a bow in pink and blue hues. Background includes ink pads. — A galaxy of cuties!

COLOR PALETTE

I make very simple tag swatches for ALL my inks, which I use every time I craft to choose colors. Even though I planned to use all the new ink colors in today's ombre card, the swatches helped me figure out what order to apply the inks in.

With oodles of inks in Simon Says Stamp's Pawsitively Saturated Ink line, swatches are a must for making future selections and buiding color palettes for other projects

SWATCH/CARD TIPS

Swatch Tag

The die I use to make all my swatches is retired, so I going to recommend a couple of faves for you to consider.
Swipe the inkpad across the tag several times and let dry to achieve even color or apply with a clean blending brush.

Card

Spritz the back of the ink-blended gradient cardstock layer with water - this will enhance the embossed impression without cracking the paper.
Overlap your inks when blending with a brush for smooth gradients
To highlight the embossing:
- Hold the white pigment inkpad horizontal and parallel to the embossed design and lightly wipe across the raised surface.
- Let the first layer or the white ink dry and apply a second layer to increase the opacity of the white ink.
