Hello Makers! Today I have a card to share with you using the
final sets of Distress Oxide Minis. The technique for this card is a simple one
that works so perfectly with Oxides due to their opaque quality that allows for
layering stamped images. I’m inviting you to come along, and let’s get making!
Here is the video tutorial for this card.

Gather all the supplies
Using a Blending Tool and Blending Foam, begin blending a
background through the Lace stencil and onto an A2 piece of White Heavystock in
Tattered Rose Oxide.
Using the text stamps on French Garden, stamp them in
various places on the background in Pumice Stone Oxide.
Get the leaf stamp from French Garden and place it in the top right corner. Stamp the edges of the leaves with Shabby Shutters.
Ink just the stem with Brushed Corduroy or Scorched Timber and stamp. then ink the inside/bottom of the leaves with Forest Moss and stamp.
You shoul have a varigated leaf like this when you are finished, Now flip the stamp upside down and do it again in the bottom left corner.
Once the leaves are stamped, stamp the berries the same way with Aged Mahogany for the berries and Scorched Timber for the branches.
Stamp the flower in Worn Lipstick and the shaded areas with Aged Mahogany. Stamp the leaves the same way as above.
It will look like this when finished Stamp a sentiment from the Tiny Text stamps in Aged Mahoghany. Trim it to a 3.8" strip.
Either fussy cut or die cut with the exclusive coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp.
Add foam square to the back of the rose and the back of the sentiment strip.
Trim the background down by 1/8" then attach the background to the card base.
Add the flower and sentiment, both popped up with foam squares.
Don't the oxides layer so beautifully?
I hope you enjoyed this simple card! Thank you for stopping by.

Today's card for the Stampers Anonymous Valentine Curation is a simple
Textile card using the CMS023 Weathered Textiles stamp and Vogue
Components Stamp COM008
Here is the process video tutorial for this card.
If you don't have dark brown twine, you can color some with Ground Espresso or Walnut Stain ink.
The drawn edging gives the idea of a dark, thin mat without actually having a mat there.
The sentiment is from Odds and Ends CMS100. There are several sentiments that can be stamped in the tickets and this is one of them.
I just popped a couple of vintage buttons in the corner. You can get Buttons Galore buttons (linked below) or there are lots of vintage places you can buy a bag of Vintage Buttons

Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop featuring exclusive coordinating dies to match Tim Holtz stamps. I hope you are enjoying the inspiration from all of the blog hop participants today.
I've chosen to use the Field Notes stamps and dies for my card today.
Begin by gathering your supplies. You need the Field Notes Stamps and coordinating dies. I also used Tiny Text CMS394 and Mesh & Linen CMS221, along with other supplies that area all linked below.
Begin by watercolor stamping a background. I used the Mesh stamp from Mesh & Linen CMS221. Both stamps in this set make fantastic backgrounds for a wide variety of stamps and I highly recommend it as a super versatile background stamp. I inked it up with Antique Linen, then some Crushed Olive and ended with a bit of Speckled Egg.
Once you have the inks on the stamp, spray it with some water until you can see it beading up. Then stamp on an A2 piece of Distress Mixed Media Heavystock. I usually press it down with my hand in one corner and then move it to the opposite bottom corner and press it down there so it isn't a complete background stamp, there will be holes or gaps in the pattern.
Next, using Speckled Egg Distress Ink and a small stamping block, stamp many of the small text stamps from Field Notes all over the stamped background to add another layer,
Once the background is stamped, stampp the images that have coordinating dies. I stamped most in Ground Espresso Archival Ink and a few in Speckled Egg Archival Ink. I colored them in with Crushed Olive, Speckled Egg and Rusty Hinge, with a bit of Antique Linen and Ground Espresso.
Once the images are colored, lay the coordinating die on top of it and tape it down and run it through a die cut machine.
Trim your background to 4x5.25. Then plan out where you want all of the die cut images. I lightly inked the edges of all of them with some Ground Espresso.
Some of the Field Notes I attached directly to the background. Others (as you can see here) I added a layer of scraps underneath so they were even when I attached them.
The last layer is to add some foam squares under three of the pieces that will be the last layers. I used the three clippings for this layer.
For a sentiment I stamped "never stop exploring" from the Tiny Text stamp set, in Ground Espresso Archival Ink and then colored it with Speckled Egg Distress Ink. I ripped the left edge and inked it with Ground Espresso Distress Ink before adhering it to the bottom right corner.
Ink the edges of the background and the edges of a kraft card base and then attach the whole card front to the card base.
The layers of stamping and then layers of die cuts and a great deal of interest and texture to the card.
The multiple. layers add interest and dimension.
The coordinating dies work perfectly wtih the stamps. They cut so beautifully!
Here it is completed. Thanks so much for stopping by to see my card!
