{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!

Sew Easy Card

Morning, all! Kristina here. Happy Tuesday! :)

Today I broke out the Sew Easy tool and did a lot of stitching. :) I thought it would be fun to use different colors of floss to create a sort of stitched rainbow look.

I kept the rest of the card very simple--so the stitching could be the standout on the card--by using a simple die cut frame and sentiment stamp.

Enjoy!
