Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember party 2026

Yesterday I shared the exciting Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® news and showed you my first makes. If you missed seeing them check out this link. I was sent the gorgeous Today and Every Day stamp set (2405ssc) to create with, and I have had great fun exploring all the possibilities it offers.

This beautiful floral set includes a lovely wreath along with lots of additional floral and leafy elements, giving you so many ways to mix, match and create your own designs. I decided to see just how much I could get from the set and created four cards and a tag.

Today it’s time for the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Party! 🎉

There are lots of talented artists taking part, so be sure to check out the link here to see all of the amazing projects being shared.

I’m absolutely delighted to be part of the party, and today I’m sharing the last of the five projects I created using the Today and Every Day stamp set (SSS2405). 

I made this autumn inspired card using distress inks for the background. 

Here's a couple of close ups of this gorgeous wreath, I added flowers from the other stamps in the set which I fussy cut, coloured and decoupaged onto the wreath so they have some dimension too. I will share a step by step over on Instagram of how this came together.

The new "Shine On" release from Simon Says stamp

Hello Everyone, Simon says stamp have just launched their latest release called "Shine on". You can shop the whole collection here.

I was sent the hilarious new "Divorce upside" sentiment set to create with. These sentiments are certainly not the usual "Happy Birthday" but packed with quirky, witty greetings that made me smile while I was crafting. Sometimes a handmade card is just the thing to raise a smile during life's twists and turns.

I paired them with bright colours and cheerful designs. While these sentiments are a little different from the occasions we usually craft for, I love how they bring humour, encouragement and a positive outlook to a new chapter.

Whether it's offering support, celebrating a fresh start or simply letting a friend know you're thinking of them, a handmade card can make all the difference.

To match the fun of the sentiments, I went for bright colours, happy details and lots of playful elements. Sometimes it's good to step away from the traditional occasions and make something completely different.

I made 3 cards and a tag and will be sharing some process photos and close ups on my Instagram account here over the coming days. I like to put them all together here in a blog post for reference. All the products I have used are available on the Simon Says Stamp website. 

Card 1

I used a distress ink background with pastel cardstock and cups and saucers die cut using the Tim Holtz Papercut Cafe die set. 

Card 2

For this card I used a background made using Tim Holtz's large size "Numbered" 3D embossing folder and silver card. The extra numbers, hand etc are from his Postale die set

Card 3

I find the stamp hilarious, those pancakes and spatulas are such fun. I used a distress  oxide stain spray background with some extra distress watercolour pencil detailing. There is a sheet of Tim Holtz green paper palette paper tucked underneath too. 

Tag

I used Kraft card for the background and the hearts are Tim Holtz' stacked hearts die set. This tag works well attached to a bottle of wine...a great gift for someone who is celebrating their divroce. 

My dear Hb and I are celebrating 45 years of happy marriage on 25th July so fortunately I won't need to use the set for his next card!

So there we are, meet Simon Says Stamp's "The Upside of Divorce" set. They're a little bit unexpected, a little bit cheeky, but definitely memorable.

Bye for now,
