Hello friends and welcome back to Day 2 of the Whimsy Stamps collaboration with Simon Says Stamp for the Stamptember celebration! Yesterday I shared my first card using the new "Happy Pugmas" stamp set and today I am sharing another way to use this fun new holiday stamp set.

Card details;

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2". Slimline cards are designed to fit into a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage. The base of this card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White cardstock. Using the Slimline Birthday Scallops die, I cut the frame from red cardstock. Using the Slimline Bunting Borders die set, I cut the banners from lime green cardstock and teal striped cardstock. I cue a 8 1/2" x 2" piece of woodgrain paper to use as the "floor" of the card. I stamped the images from the Happy Pugmas stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock and colored the images using Copic markers. I fussy cut the images and adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo black ink. Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.

Stamptember is a great time to find unique stamp sets from Simon Says Stamps and their collaboration with various stamp companies. Many of these stamp sets are exclusive and cannot be bought after they sell out, so have fun looking and shop now! To see more products from Whimsy Stamps, please click here.

Simon Says Stamptember Collaboration

Stamptember is a month long collaboration between Simon Says Stamp and various stamp companies teaming up together to design and offer fun, exclusive products. It's like a new release day EVERY DAY for the entire month of September! Many of these stamp sets sell out overnight and once they are gone, they can often be hard to find.

Today I am happy to be joining the Stamptember celebration representing Whimsy Stamps and their special collaboration with Simon Says Stamp. They have designed an exclusive Stamptember set called "Happy Pugmas." Now you all know that I'm a cat lover, but I have to admit, these Christmas pugs are super cute and festive for all the dog loving friends I have.

Card details:

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2". Slimline cards are designed to fit inside a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage. The base of this slimline card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. On a 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in the colors in Spun Sugar, Barn Door and Twisted Citron. After ink blending the three inks, I then splattered the Barn Door Ink over the entire piece of cardstock. Using the Slimline Postage die, I die cut the frame from pink cardstock. I stamped the pugs in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock and colored them using Copic markers. I fussy cut the pugs out and adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. I stamped the sentiments in red ink on white cardstock and die cut them using the Speech Bubbles dies. I adhered the sentiments to the card with 3M foam adhesive. Lastly I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.

I hope you have enjoyed this fun card featuring the new "Happy Pugmas" Stamptember collaboration with Whimsy Stamps! Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
