STAMPtember defined:
STAMPtember® (stmp-tmbr) is defined by Simon Says Stamp… an event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate our community of stampers.
Simon Says Stamp was founded in 2002 with an obsession for rubber stamps. However, it didn’t take long until we became a One Stop Shop. Now Simon Says Stamp and STAMPtember® is so much more than stamps! This year you’ll also see a focus on many other exciting products like dies, notecards, and some very special surprises. Our intention is to be your one stop shop in this awesome community! Rubber stamps still remain at the heart of our business, and we are celebrating by releasing exclusive products with many of the industry’s finest brands. Be sure to visit our Blog as the home base for the festivities!
I LOVE the falling (or fallen, spending on which way you stamp it) glitter stamp! I've used some oh, so sparkly gold embossing powder to stamp the glitter inside the balloons and at the bottom of my card! I tried my best to capture the sparkle in the photo, but it's even prettier in real life!
I first stamped the balloons onto masking paper to create masks. I then stamped the first balloon, masked it, then stamped the next, and so on. Before adding the confetti to the balloons, I colored them with Copic and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. To get the glitter only within the balloons, I used the outside portion of the masking paper that was around the balloon (I never remember if that is the positive or the negative of the cut! Haha!) Just place the mask around the balloon, then stamp the confetti in Versamark, add your embossing powder, and heat emboss.
Don't you totally love the font of the words in the set?! Since my gold sparkle embossing powder is semi-transparent, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it twice. The first layer was with Ranger gold embossing powder, then the gold sparkle embossing powder for the 2nd layer. The balloon panel is cut to 3-¾ x 5 and mounted onto the diagonal striped paper. Here is an angled, close-up photo to show more of the sparkle!
