Sweeten up Project Life with Honey!

Hi Bloggers! Happy Friday to you!! I'm thrilled to bring you another Project Life installment from the amazing Kristina Proffitt!  I just love her clean & simple approach to archiving her photos and the Honey kit happens to be one of my favorites! Enjoy!

From the designer:
I was so inspired by the fun, colorful and happy look of the Honey Edition Kit. It’s just so fun, perfect for Summer and complimented my photos so well! Love how the bright colors were perfect for the art pieces my kids created that week! ;) The kit definitely made the pages come together so easily and quickly! The Honey Kit is one of my favorites for sure! :)

Fun with Project Life + Kristina Proffitt!

Hi Bloggers! Happy Sunday to you! I'm so pleased to bring you some exclusive content from the very sweet & talented Kristina Proffitt! We are so thrilled for the new Becky Higgins Project Life line of products trickling into our shop NOW and to help celebrate that, we'd like to inspire you with some pages from Kristina to show you just how fun it can be to scrapbook your life!!
A little bit about Project Life from Kristina:
When it comes to Project Life, I use a very simple and laid back approach. I love how Project Life gives you the option to make your pages as simple or as elaborate as you’d like. When I create my Project Life pages I am inspired by the photographs first and foremost and then love to add just a touch of embellishments to the pages. The Kelly Purkey goodies that I bought from Simon Says Stamp were just perfect to embellish my pages. I loved adding the super simple and cute alphabet stickers directly to my photographs and also the label stickers! You definitely need a date stamp if you are doing Project Life! It’s so perfect and quick to use when documenting the date on either your journaling cards or even onto some label stickers and then adding to photographs. I also love the Pebbles Inc. sticky notes! I stuck it right onto a blank white 3x4 card and then added alphabet stickers and journaling to it! I also LOVE the Kelly Purkey Flair badges! I was so surprised at how big they were! I loved how colorful and vibrant they were and they were perfect for my pages! 








Bonus!!! Kristina also made some pages specifically with the new Blush Core Kit coming soon to Simon Says Stamp! Check it out!

Mondays with May: Inspired by Amy Tangerine!

It is a bright and beautiful day, and what could make it better than spending some crafty time with Amy Tangerine? May Flaum reporting in for a happy crafting kind of Monday!


There is a lot to love from the great sticker books to the cute designs of her papers to the way that the products work beautifully with not just her own line, but past lines and other brands as well. I also love that I can scrapbook, make little daybooks, or make cards and other projects too. Today I'm going to share two projects made just for the Simon blog. First, let's get out our embroidery template!

I can't say enough good things about this product - it is so easy to punch the holes (and the kit comes with a needle and threads too!) and you can use it on all kinds of projects. I used mine to make a cute little notebook.
Amy's newest line also has a set of slick writers - which I love! these pens are bright beautiful colors and I love the pop of pink I added just coloring in the details on this little notebook.
Those sheer letter stickers are a favorite too - they look great layered and you can see patterns through them so they make things extra fun.

Now I'm feeling like getting kind of messy and making a special card. To do this I used a credit card and scraped a thick layer of paint in the middle of a chunk of patterned paper. Then I squished my sticker down in the middle and really pressed so the paint would ooze out of the edges. I love this look!
I then layered and stitched my trimmed piece of patterned paper onto cardstock that had been inked (with dylusions). Wanting even more layering, I layered it onto another chunk of white paper and misted with teal dylusions and water.

Shop the supplies:



I am so in love with Amy's products - I just can't stop! You can find another stitched project over on my blog today, as well as a special discount code (limited time only!) for the Simon shop.

Be sure to pop on over to May's blog for a SPECIAL coupon code to Simon Says Stamp that you'll only find there!!!

{You} Are Going to Love This!

Hi bloggers! Happy Saturday to you! Today we're pleased to have guest designer Laura Bassen on our blog with a couple of cool ways on how you can stretch your Simon Says Stamp exclusive dies and stamps!!

From the artist:

I've been so inspired to try the embroidery stitched look on cards, so I gave it a try on one of these. Combining the Amy Tangerine stickers and the "you" from the Envelope Sentiments set was a match made in heaven. I cut the "you" out of the larger sentiment. This way I can get so much more use out of that stamp.

Thanks so much for reading today and thanks to Laura for this fun inspiration of how you can stretch your stamps!
