Hi everyone! I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for a Hop To It Blog Hop today! We are all sharing projects using the wonderful Hop To It release which includes stamps, dies and more!
I created two cards using almost identical supplies and I experimented a bit with different color mediums to achieve a very bright and bold and a soft pastel looks. I used the Hand Lettered Encouragement set. I absolutely love the You Are Remarkable sentiment, I think its perfect for many-many occasions, and there are lots of other great encouraging sentiments in this set; I also really like the big and bold font, I think these sentiments would look spectacular when stamped in black ink and this is actually what I’m going to be doing today for one of my cards.
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
The second stamp set that I have is called Artful Flowers and I really like these outline floral images. There’s lots you can do with them, you can stamp the outline in black and color them using matching solid images, or you can first stamp the solid image in a bright color and than stamp the matching outline in white ink, I think that would look very beautiful. You can also use the solid images on their own, and the same goes for the outline images, and you can of course color these using markers, pencils, daubers – really just anything! Stunning flowers and you can never have too many flower stamps.

LOVE the dimension- great card!
Very pretty cards. Loved your video. I just received my Chameleon and havent tried them yet so Im looking forward to watching your video again.
So pretty, love how you showed options, so flexible!~kim
I love the two looks from the same supplies it’s really fun to see it used both ways!
Lovely Card!! Love the background idea.
I love this flower stamp. My favorite of the release
I like the sentiment used as a background. At first, I thought it was too bold, but as I studied it, I changed my mind.
Beautiful cards. I liked your detailed description of how to use the pens. Thank you so much for sharing
Beautiful! Love the more subtle colors on the second card. That hand written sentiment set is amazing!
Your cards are absolutely wonderful each and every time. I enjoyed you explaining about the chameleon pens and I’m temped to try them as I have never used alcohol markers before. You are so talented!
Stunning card designs, love them both!!!
Your cards are gorgeous!!! I love how they both have a pop of color!!! Gorgeous!
Love the second generation card, so gorgeous

Oh My! I love your cards. They are just beautiful!!
Love the style you chose for your cards. Your backgrounds are Wonderful! Beautiful job!
Gorgeous. I love the coloring and love the idea of using a sentiment for the background.
I love your colors. They inspire me to try different color combinations.
Amazing cards. Each is so beautiful!!
Love the sentiment background and gorgeous flowers!
Love your cards. Especially love the color pop of your artful flowers on the black and white base. Nice!!! Thanks.
These are gorgeous! I love the way you created the background with the sentiment stamps.
Awesome. Love the thoughts.
Okay your cards are amazing. I love how the second card is the same but can change the “feel” of the card by changing the colors and pushing the words back by making them so light. Gorgeous!!
Great use of these stamp sets. Love the two different designs.
I really like the soft colors of the flowers. I would have never thought of using the stamps across the whole card. very clever.
What a cool way to switch it up!
Love your cards!
I love how you created a background with such an uplifting sentiment!! The bold and the soft contrast of the two cards are really great!!
Those are great flowers. I really like the card with the really softly colored flowers. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cards!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love this flower stamp! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cards! I especially love your bright card. The sentiment you used is a must have stamp set for me.
I love both takes Yana TFS
Really like how you stamped the sentiment as a background. I think both cards are equally nice.
Agree with you about never having too many flower stamps 🙂 Love the color contrast of your first card and the toned-down flowers on the second card are perfect with the sentiment. Thanks for sharing.
Great cards
Love the way you used those stamps for a background, and I especially love the look of the last “softer” card. Just beautiful.
Oh these are just gorgeous and I love the sentiment backgrounds you created–the contrast between the bold background and soft flowers is perfect and beautiful. Oh and I agree, one can never have too many floral stamps!
Wow! Love the contrast between the two styles – just shows how versatile these stamps are!
Stunning cards! Love that layout and the backgrounds are fabulous for bringing out the beautiful flowers! Just lovely ♥
WOOWOWOWOWOW!! BEAUTIFUL Cards!! Ii LOVED the video too!! 🙂 THANKSS for sharing and have a Fabulous Weekend!!! 🙂
Great job making such different cards using the same supplies. Love seeing these types of projects. Helps me get the most out of my supplies.
Love how you used the Hand Lettered Encouragement set. Can’t wait to get the set and try the repeating patterns.
These are beautiful cards !!! Fantastic technique and wonderful inspiration !!!
Beautiful cards. Loved seeing the chameleon markers in action.
Two beautiful cards. Love the stamped background!
