SSS Ear-Resistibly Cute Stamps from the Rain or Shine Collection

 

Another cute bunny set from Simon Says Stamp for their Rain or Shine Collection, March 2025. I received the "Ear-Resistibly Cute" stamp set. There is a matching dieset but I didn't receive it. You can see the entire Rain or Shine Collection by clicking HERE.

I stamped the bunny heads onto white cardstock, colored them in with Copic markers, I'm not a fancy colorist. After that I fussy cut the bunny heads. It wasn't difficult.

My cards are A2 size, I cut 3 squares 3.5" x 3.5" from white cardstock. I put each on my sticky mat and ink blended 3 shades of 3 different color Distress Oxide inks on each paper, going from light to dark. Using a sticky mat helps keep the small piece of paper in place so I don't accidently bend it while blending. 

I put the white card onto my Misti stamp platform and lined up the sentiment and the inked square to be sure they would fit nicely. You don't want to attach the square and then find out your sentiment doesn't fit! I then stamped the sentiment with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Then adhered the square.

I diecut baskets from kraft cardstock, I layered 2 together for stability.

I took some Green Paper Shred, it looks like the grass from Easter baskets but not plastic. I think most people use it for packing for gift bags or gift boxes. You can find it in the Easter section, even my grocery store had it. The paper type is easier to glue and trim as needed.

I glued a bit to the back of the basket and then put a small mound on the paper. I put my basket over it to be sure it looked good. Once I was sure it looked good, I put some white glue down and attached a few strands at a time. I tried using hot glue but I'm just not good with a glue gun. Do whatever works better for you.

I glued the back of the basket to the mound of paper shred and put a few pop dots on the back of the bottom of the basket so it would stay flat. I put an acrylic stamp block on top of it to hold it down.

Yep, it's Ear-resistibly cute! It would also make a cute tag.

Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Industrial Grungy Pipes!

 

Here’s the second card I made using the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Industrial dieset! It’s similar to my first card but there, I combined the 3 sets I received from Scrapbookcom, I have a blog post you can see if you click HERE. I used printed paper for the background.

For the card I made today, I decided to try and make a similar background but with ink. The first card uses a printed paper. I saw SBC fest and one of the instructors showed how to make a background using Distress Sprays in Rusty Hinge and Salvaged Patina. You can see it HERE. I randomly stamped the background with black Archival ink to add a little interest. 

Everything was cut from black Mixed Media paper. The paper I use is heavy weitght and can stand up to wet products like sprays and the Lunar Paste I used. Here's some photos of what I used. 

You can also see a quick video here on how I made the pipes look grungy and aged.

Spellbinders Bundle of Joy

 

Spellbinders "Bundle of Joy" from the Little Smiles Collection. You can see the ENTIRE collection HERE. I made both a pink and blue diecut, so I have whatever option I need. The little hat is adorable on the blue version. There's also a diaper which you can't see, but is equally as cute. There's also a little cap for the stork but I didn't use it. You can see it in the Supplies section below.

There's one cloud included in the set but I wanted a full cloud frame, so I cut that from a older set, "Cloud Tunnels".  The sentiment is a BetterPress plate that I Glimmer hot foiled in silver. This sentiment set is an all in one, all the sentiments are connected together on one plate and it includes a die to cut them individually out in one swoop. Love that! The sentiments are done in a simple print, perfect for baby cards.

Tim Holtz for Sizzix Vault Collection: Noteworthy, Industrial, Edges

 

I received the 3 of 5 of the latest Tim Holtz Vault Collection for Sizzix from Scrapbookcom. Noteworthy, Industrial and Edges.

For my first card, I used all 3 pieces of all 3 sets. The cute little clipboard is from the Noteworthy set.

The Edges set cuts the alphabet and the edge of a piece of paper. This one looks like I ripped it out of a spiral notebook.

The rest is from Industrial. I put it in a tray while I'm working with it, to keep it organized. The trays are from Scrapbookcom, I have the magnetic sheets from Amazon.

The background paper is from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Vault paper, Abandoned. It's sold out in a lot of places but I believe some stores will be restocking it. But once it's gone, that's it.

To get all the pipe grunginess, I used Distress Sprays in Old Paper, Scattered Twigs and Mowed Lawn. After it was dry, I took some Refined Copper Lunar paste and randomly brushed it onto the pipes. Everything else was cut from scrap paper. 

The numbers in the gauge are a stamp from The "Professor".

For the sentiment on the paper, I just printed that on my computer. It's a great card for my husband who always has a huge list of things he has to get done around the house.

My second card uses the small folder as the centerpiece. This folder is much smaller than the original folder die. I like that it fits on the front of an A2 card. The stamps come from a Tim Holtz stamp set called Field Notes. The field diecut is from a dieset called Flower Field. I sprayed a piece of Distress Heavystock with Mustard Seed, Pink Flamingo, Picked Raspberry for the tops of the flowers and Squeezed Lemonade and Mowed Lawn for the grass.

The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz stamp set called Tiny Text. I put a small, thin magnet behind the arrow/circle and behind the folder to allow it to open and close.

Thanks to Scrapbookcom for sending me the diesets. I really enjoyed working with them and have more planned to make!
