Beary Sweet Wrapped Shaker Birthday Card!
Hi friend! Happy Monday! I’m delighted to welcome special guest Carly Tee Minner on our blog today to showcase her brand NEW collection that just debuted with Hero Arts! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!
Hi Everyone! I’m Carly and I am over the moon to be here on the SSS blog today to share a card using my very first collection, Beary Sweet by Hero Arts + Carly Tee! My collection Beary Sweet is all about friendship, hugs and silly sweetness! This card has so many of my favorite things…a shaker window, big words, Distress Oxide inks and CANDY! One of the few things I love more than cardmaking is candy! Even paper candy makes me super happy!
This wrapped shaker is very easy to create with the Penny Candy Jar as a window and some crafty trash to create a shaker pocket underneath. Paper candy makes fun shaker bits and is super relaxing to create! Check out the process in the video…

Bright and Bold Miss You Card by Cheiron Brandon
Hi friend! Happy Sunday! I’m delighted to welcome special guest Cheiron Brandon as our guest today showcasing the re-released classic Handwritten Love die set from Tim Holtz Sizzix along with the Vault World Travel fan favorite die set, and some pretty pops of bold color with Tim Holtz Ranger Neon Alcohol Inks! Read on to learn more and enjoy!
Hi there, crafty friends! It’s Cheiron here and I am thrilled to be back here on the Simon Says Stamp blog today with a fun card featuring some favorite Back From the Vault items from Sizzix. I love that all of these handwritten words are back from the vault and I’m creating a fun Miss You card in a simple palette of black and white with a pop of neon using Neon Alcohol Inks to color in my cut out words.
To begin, I cut the circle from the Vault World Travel dies from Distress Watercolor Cardstock and then backed it with another panel of white cardstock. Then I cut the globe die from Simon Says Stamp Black Cardstock and inlaid it into the circle I had cut out. I used the letters in the Vault World Travel dies to cut out the words Miss You and cut out the plane, cloud and arrow as well. I also cut the word friends from the Handwritten Love dies and then snipped off the “s” to spell friend. To color in my pieces, I used Neon Alcohol Inks in Hyper, Ignite and Radioactive. I just shook up my inks well, put a little bit onto my glass mat and picked it up with a brush to paint my papers. I let all of my painted pieces dry completely.
To put the letters onto my card, I placed a piece of tape across my panel. I usually put the tape on the fabric of my shirt once or twice before putting it on the paper to make it a little less sticky. I lined up my Miss You and then glued each letter down carefully by placing them with a tweezer. I added the word friend, so it was overlapping missing you ever so slightly. The card was looking a bit plain, so I added some Black Soot Distress Paint splatter, using a mask and my hand to make sure the splatter only landed where I wanted it to go. Hope you liked this fun neon card!
