Inlaid Die Cutting // Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember and Hero Arts exclusive



I'm stopping in with a video and two cards today showcasing a beautiful stamp collaboration between Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp.


Gah, while this card was so fun to make, it was the darnedest thing to photograph.


But for reals, terrible photographs aside, isn't this stamp/die set just gorgeous?!
Here's a video to show you how I made my card (and how I fixed a little boo-boo)


As I mention in the video, this second card was actually my first test run, but I wasn't crazy about the stamping at first.
At first.
Then I decided I didn't want to waste it, so I worked it out eventually...


I used two cute mini stamp sets by Lia for Hero Arts to do the leaves on both cards - Elves and Build a Wreath. Great bang for your buck in these little mini sets from Lia.


Thanks so much for stopping in today and God bless!
