STAMPtember CZ Design Exclusive

Hello Crafters, and welcome back! Are you having a wonderful STAMPtember with all of the releases, collabs and the new Tim Holtz class coming up? Oh my word, there’s so much going on! For Simon’s 17th year of STAMPtember, they are celebrating CZ Design! Several new products are being released, and I’ll be sharing more, but for today’s post, I’m focusing on the Oh My Goth products. Let’s go ahead and get into the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by ink blending a panel using Distress Oxides in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Villainous Potion. Once satisfied with the blend, I trimmed out the panel using the A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles and added some splatter. I then stamped the house, bats and moon from the Oh My Goth set using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed them using clear embossing powder. I kept heating and adding more powder to get that thicker, shinier finish.

I then die cut all of those elements and used a grey copic marker to color the edges since I had stamped everything onto white cardstock. The Oh My Goth sentiment was cut from black mirror cardstock, as well as black and Green Apple cardstock. I think this would have also been cool to cut from purple mirror cardstock, but I didn’t have that! My panel was adhered to a black panel for contrast, the house was glued in place, while the bats and sentiment were adhered using foam tape. The card base got a black splatter and the windows were colored yellow to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope I’ve inspired your spooky creations for the season! Stay tuned over on Instagram for my other CZ Design projects using other fun, new products! Have a wonderful day, and Happy STAMPtember!

STAMPtember 2026 Party!

Hello Friends, and welcome back to my blog! Happy STAMPtember as well! Today we are celebrating Simon’s 17th year of bringing us the greatest month of the year! It’s a huge party featuring tons of designers with tons of inspiration for you to feast your eyes upon! There’s lots of promotions scattered about all of the blogs and Instagram accounts for you to discover, so be sure to visit each one! You ca head to Simon’s blog for a list of all of the designers! My project today is featuring the new Beautiful Butterfly Flaps die cut, so let’s go ahead and get into the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I love the size of this butterfly, and therefore opted not to use the flap portion of the set. A while back I started creating fun watercolor backgrounds to cut various things from, and this butterfly was cut from a new background that I made. I wanted to use oranges and black to give a Monarch vibe to this butterfly. I created a video of a previous watercolor panel process if you’d like to see the details of that. To add interest to the panel, there was lots of stamping, doodling and splattering, as well as adding some shimmer powder. I’ll list some of the products used at the end of this post.

Once my watercolor panel was complete and dry, I die cut the butterfly pieces from the panel, as well as cutting it twice from black cardstock, and cut the body portion from gold cardstock. All of those pieces were adhered together for a dimensional look. The background panel was cut using the Crimped A2 Rectangles from black cardstock and gold splattered. Once dry, it was layered atop a panel of orange cardstock that would match the colors of the butterfly. The sentiment is a retired set unfortunately, but I always still love the size and font, and that’s why I keep using it! It was cut once from gold cardstock and three times from black cardstock. The butterfly and sentiment were secured tot he panel to finish up this project.

That does it for this project! I hope you liked it, and I hope you’ll check out the video of how the backgrounds are created and give it a little thumbs up! This STAMPtember is just getting started, and I’m so excited for a whole month of surprises! Don’t forget to check out all of the inspiration for the party today! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Birthday Gifts

Hello Crafty Friends, and Happy STAMPtember! I hope you’re excited for a month long celebration featuring new goodies from Simon, as well as fun collaborations from other companies and a few other surprises along the way! My project for today is featuring the new Party Gifts and Bows die set, so let’s go ahead and get into the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by die cutting the gifts from pastel aqua, pink and yellow cardstock scraps, while cutting the bows from gold cardstock. For some added interest, I did splatter the gifts with some gold acrylic ink before assembling the pieces. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink and heat set using white embossing powder onto black cardstock.

The background was cut using the Teardrop Pinpoint Frames, and the gifts were adhered atop that using a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. The sentiment was glued in place to finish up.

A super simple project for today! This set is a good addition to your stash, as it could be used for birthday or Christmas, if you used different colors. You could even use it for Valentines or baby cards if you opted to used some patterned paper. Just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing! Stay tuned all month long for lots of STAMPtember surprises! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!
