Simon Says Stamp One of a Kind Release Blog Hop (VIDEO+GIVEAWAY!)

Good morning!  I am so excited to be helping Simon Says Stamp celebrate their One of a Kind release this weekend!  The hop started yesterday and continues today for even more inspiration!  Have you checked out the release yet?  Go ahead…I’ll wait! 😉

You're So Cool by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

I LOVE the Artsy Fruits and So Cool sets and thought it would be fun to combine them to create some summery melon popsicles!  I also created a video tutorial that you can watch below or at my Youtube channel!

I used BOTH sides of the watermelon stamps to create watermelons and canteloupes and then stamped the outline of the popsicle stamp to create popsicles.  Then I stamped the back of the rind stamp to create rinds for my melon popsicles.  I fussy cut the popsicles and added a little shading with copic markers!  I added two layers of ultra high embossing powder to give the popsicles a super shiny look!  Then I blended a little ink onto my background panel and added flecks of black distress ink.  I adhered my popsicles and sentiment with foam mounting tape and then added a sprinkling of sparkling clear sequins to finish the card!

And that’s it!  Now I can’t decide what I want to eat…a popsicle or a big slice of fresh canteloupe…hmmm… 😉

    That is a great card, especially to send to someone on a hot summer’s day! 😀
    I really like the technique you used of stamping the colour in with the solid stamps over the ice pops instead of just colouring them in. They are so vibrant you can almost taste how yummy they would be. lol
    Thanks for sharing the great video! 🙂
