Simon Says Stamp Sunny Vibes Release!

 Hello!  I'm popping in to share two cards that I created with a product from the Simon Says Stamp Sunny Vibes release.  Simon was so kind and sent me the Bad Days Good Vibes stamp set.  This set has lots of sentiments that will help you express your support for family and friends.  Let's have a look at what I made.  As with most Simon Says Stamp products you can also get a matching die set, as well as the products in a bundle.

For this card and the other card I made with the stamp set I used the Simon Says Stamp Groovy Blooms stencil set along with stencil pastes from the Crafters Workshop and the newly released Waffle Flower grip mat.   After stenciling a panel of white cardstock with the colors I chose I left the panel on the grip mat to dry.  During the drying process only one corner of the panel popped off the grip mat.   Once the panel was dry I die cut a portion for this card using the Simon Says Stamp A2 Nesting Frames.  I adhered that to a white cardstock base and then added the sentiment.  I stamped the main sentiment and then added the subsentiment.   

Here is a photo showing the initial layer of stencil paste I laid down on my white panel.  You can kind of see spots where I got stencil paste on the grip mat.    The photo below shows the panel still on the grip mat after all the stenciling was done and I was letting it dry.  

Only one corner of the panel popped up even after I had added all that stencil paste to the cardstock.  I was impressed at the grip power of the grip mat!  

For this card I used a strip of the panel that was left over after I had die cut it.  I adhered that to a white cardstock panel and then added the sentiment that I embossed in white on vellum and die cut with a heart shaped die.  I added the sub-sentiment that I stamped in black on white cardstock and die cut with a sentiment strip die.    Adding this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to emboss it.

In this photo you can see all the stencil paste that I got on the grip mat.  I left the paste on the grip mat for a couple of days just to see if the paste would come off and it did.  I just used some warm water and a little bit of scrubbing to get the paste off.  I did take a photo of the clean grip mat, but it turned out blurry and I was too lazy to take another, lol!

That's it for me.  Don't forget to head over to the Simon Says Stamp website to check out all the new products in the Sunny Vibes release.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
