Hello Friends, Welcome to Simon Says Stamp “Among the Stars” blog hop. As usual Simon brings us another exciting and versatile new release BUT… wait until you hear about the GIVEAWAY…love it!! More on that below.
Today I have a video to share my process on creating this card. It’s a star-tastic stamp set called, “Shine On” . My goal is to give you another way to look at the stamps.
Simon’s stencil “Large Dots” is an oldie but a goodie & it’s on my must have list. Vellum is used in the background to mute it but, more on that in the my video.
If you want to watch in HD click here.
This sun was screaming to be colored so I wasn’t going to argue. I used some of my older stamps to pull this look together. This for the leaves, this for the stem and this for the flower pot. If you like the card take a peek around your craft room and I am sure you will find something that will work for the pot, leaves and stem.
Using the post it tape and distress ink is what worked to create my striped background then I added a layer of vellum on top.
Above is some more details on creating my flower card. I hope you like it 🙂 Yesterday I shared this card and a few details in this post.
GIVEAWAY: Simon will be giving away a new surprise product from a future release on every stop of the hop…how cool! AND Yes that’s FOURTEEN chances to win. (The more you comment the better your chances). The winner will be picked from the comments on each blog & will be announced on the Simon Says Stamp blog Monday June 20th. Best of luck 🙂

Wow, both of your cards are stunning! Thanks for sharing your talent and creativity 🙂
Both cards are beautiful, imaginative and different. Without you and others showing what can be done with stamp sets, I would really struggle to buy some of them. Now, referring to your video: while I enjoy Jennifer, I also enjoy you and many others! You each have your own flavor, “eye” for design, delivery (I love a chance to LOL at your self deprecating comments, as I do with Laura Bassan and Sandy Allnock). So happy you are all different – viva the flavors! Thanks for hosting the 30 Day Coloring Challenges too. While I don’t always get around to participating, I enjoy the process and the fun others are having. Keep doing what you do so very well.
I love the way you used this set, so creative 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration Kathy! All the best from Budapest, Zsofi
Wow! You were really inspired by the new products! Lovely cards!!!

Beautiful cards! I wish I could color like you!
Great cards.The sunflower is so beautiful.
Such a beautiful card Kathy, I can’t speak for everyone but I can for me and I will always put you first on my list of crafter’s to follow because of the fact when our home was hit with the tornado and I thought all was lost and believe me had no way to release stress, I received a package of crafting items that got me started back up and helped me through the worse time of my life. For that my dear I wish always be thankful for you and learn from you. Your the best.
Your cards are amazing! Enjoyed your video very much.
LOVE LOVE LOVE these cards! The colors you use are so perfect! I never would have thought of these designs with this stamp set. Thanks so much for sharing. All of you ladies make me a better artist and for that I thank you!

My favorite color is blue. Absolutely love your card and the elements you used. Will definitely try these techniques. Thanks for sharing!
Your cards are stunning! Great release and cute themes!
You are so clever and I always learn from you and your videos. Loved how you tackled lining up all the die cut pieces….note to self.
Your ears should have been burning yesterday….my crafting friend came over to make some cards and we made one similar to your recent Altenew one with the black foam shadow and the pink circle background. I showed her how you use the nubby rag and the 0 blending solution to mottle the copic coloring….it worked perfectly. Of course, I gave you the credit for the technique and the idea for the card….ours wasn’t exactly like yours since I didn’t have the same stamps and dies, but, surprisingly, I had something very similar. The cards turned out very nicely. Thank you.
Looking forward to the coloring challenge….
Have a great weekend.
Aww thanks for saying that Jan. Loved your story and you totally made my day. Thanks a million. 🙂

Loved the way you colored the cards – beautiful. As to my summer – I’m going on my first cruise – ever – with my husband to the caribbean – this summer – he says it is a one and only trip because he will never get on a boat again, but I’m hoping that once he’s on it he’ll love it – I am soooooo excited. So basically I’m wishing my summer away because we don’t leave until September, I know that’s horrible, but I am so excited.
Love your cards. Thanks for sharing.

Now I love Jennifer McGuire, she’s totally awesome!! but you do NOT sound any less professional than Jennifer…you know what you are talking about and you convey your knowledge in a totally professional easy to follow voice. So you get a little tongue twisted …that’s okay. Heck that happens to me when I am just normally chatting to friends or family never mind in front of hundreds of adoring fans!
😀
TFS Kathy such cool cards!
More great cards!
Fun card. Like how you used the stencil and window.
Great cards Kathy! I love your sun but the way you flipped the stars is fabulous!

These cards are wonderful. I love how you make stamps and dies take on so many personas. Well done.
Nice ideas. Vellum is so hard for me to use I don’t know why, I just never really know what to do with it so I’ll try the muting effect you showed, thanks. I’ve used it for “glassware” and stuff too, which worked out pretty well.
I love the sun flower card (the second one) I shouldn’t say that because I love all your cards always! Thank you for shareing!
Very colorful cards today. I admire your patience and attention to detail. I love that you aren’t overly professional with our videos. I admire all of the artists video styles.

Your cards bring a smile to my face! Love how the stars are holding up the moon, LOL, and the sun as a flower is fun!
Love these! Thank you for sharing. I am inspired 🙂
Amazing Projects with new Products by SSS.Thanks for the video and tips.. I love the night sky look..
Really enjoyed watching the process and the card is great. Thank you Kathy!
Wonderful cards – especially the sunflower!
I love your bright and cheery cards! There are some great dies and stamps in the new release, I’m looking forward to playing with them. Have a great weekend
Wow! Love both cards! They are gorgeous! Great video and tips!
This set is my fave and I just love how unique your cards are from using the set! Love, love what you did with the second card! Thanks for being you and please know I’ve learned so much from your videos tfs.
I love the colours and styling of these cards. The second “Aztec-inspired” card is so cool. I also love your colouring through the stencil and around the aperture on the first card. There’s only one thing I would have changed and that is to stamp the sentiment with a light grey ink before embossing in clear, just to make it easier to read. 🙂
Great cards. Love the vellum as a background on the first card and the tip for adhering the smaller pieces. The colors used on the second card are marvelous.
Love the flower card.
Awww!!! Fantastic release!!!! And your cards are gorgeus!
Beautiful card. Thanks for reminding us to use those stencils!
Love all the cards!
Ooooo I love the stars hanging into the card like that! Beautiful blues- fun card!! 🙂 Maria
Those stars and moons are out of this world! 🙂 GREAT cards!!!
Gorgeous cards…love the way you stamped the hanging images. Thanks for letting us know about the new colouring challenge.
Fabulous sun card. It is colored perfectly.
Looks amazing – and beautiful coloring.
My craft room is over following so I’m on a self-induced “no more stamps” program…but for this new SSS set…well I’m going to have to make an exception. It’s FAB and so are your cards!
Great moon card. Love the strings.
Love that you did something different with the stamps. I try to do that, too–largely because I don’t have a huge collection ( tho hubby might argue otherwise,lol). Your cards really did show a new way to look at stamps. Thanks for your creative spirit!
All I can.say is awesome, amazing and fabulous cards! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I just love your card. Can’t wait to try some of these ideas that I have seen along this hop. So many great things.
What neat cards – love your eye for using other parts of the set and making them pop!
What an effort and the cards show it…beautiful!
Fabulous cards. I really liked the way you made flower of the sun, moon and starts
The moon flower card is spectacular. Love your creativity and style.
Fun cards!
Wow Kathy what stunners! I was admiring how you stood the stars up under the moon on the first card and thought how I must mention how sharp it looked and then I saw your sun plant. Holy Moly girlfriend! That’s a work of art! Love how you pieced so many elements together. Truly one of a kind! You go girl!
Great cards. Thanks.

Beautiful cards! Love the way you used the vellum, and the stars! So clever.
Kathy, do you ever impress yourself? You know, “Man, I’m good!” =) That’s a weird question (and rhetorical), but you always blow me away with your cards/projects and your colors. I sometimes impress myself when something comes right (ha-ha) so if I had YOUR talent, I would amaze myself and probably not be able to sleep for months. My head would probably explode. ha-ha. You always make such beautiful things. Even in SPANISH, I am speechless. =)
Really cool cards…very inspiring. Thanks for sharing your vision.
Super lovely and delightful cards – fun images and just so well done!!
Great cards! I really love your stenciled polka dot background!
