We are SOOOO lucky to have paper crafting veteran, Nichol Magouirk joining us today to celebrate STAMPtember™! She went above and beyond and created multiple cards and even a video to share with all of you! As the mother of 3 kiddos, Nichol has lots of scrapbooking to keep her busy! I love it when she makes cards too because her cards blow me away with personality....just like Nichol! She is fun and vivacious, quick to smile, and her presence is happy and soothing.
I don't sew. Do you? Nichol does and her choice of fabric and design shine happiness through them. She takes her passions beyond papercrafting! Let's give Nichol a BIG HELLO today as she shares some of her wonderful work with each of us! Don't you think it's cool how she made the nail polish in the bottle look REAL!? Be sure to watch her video to see how she did that!
From Nichol:
I am so excited to be bringing you the guest designer projects featuring one of my all-time favorite stamping companies, My Favorite Things, on the Simon Says Stamp Blog today! For
me, stamping on my paper crafting projects whether it be a card,
scrapbook layout or other paper crafted item, is a go-to technique. I
can't say enough about using stamps. And if you have followed my blog or
taken a class from me, you know I use my stamps on almost everything I create! When it comes to cute, fun images to color with my Copics, My Favorite Things always comes through with the most adorable characters. Pair those adorable images with any of the new exclusive Simon Says Stamp dies + stamps and you instantly have a great card to give to someone special!
Card #1 (created in video):
From all of us to all of you..... HAPPY STAMPtember™!!!!
Heidi and the Simon Family
