Simon Says Stamp | Whimsy Stamps STAMPtember® 2026 Collaboration

 

Simon Says Stamps STAMPtember® 2026 is my favorite time of the year! If this is your first time hearing about the event, it's a MONTH long celebration that includes new releases, special collaborations with your favorite stamping companies along with lots of surprises and giveaways! It's basically Christmas for us crafters!!

 

 I'm super excited to have been invited to showcase today's collaboration set with Whimsy Stamps. Let me introduce you to the NEW Owl-o-ween stamp set. This set is perfect for creating all types of Halloween projects with those ADORABLE owls all dressed up and ready to go trick-or-treating!

 

 

I created a SPOOKY CUTE background to feature my trick-or-treaters from the NEW Owl-o-ween stamp set.

Black Mat Panel: 5 1/4" x 4"

Steps to Create Card:

• Create White A2 Landscape Card Base measuring: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" (5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4").
• Cut Black Mat Panel measuring: 5 1/4" x 4". 
• Take Peridot card stock measuring 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" and ink blend Jelly Bean Green and Fresh Asparagus ink around the edges leaving the center light.
• Glimmer Hot Foil Peridot Panel you just inked with Spider Web Background Plate with Black Foil. Touch up ink blending and then add a very light hand of black ink to darken the edges.
• Cut Black Strip measuring: 5 1/8" x 1 1/4".
• Die Cut Black Circle measuring: 1 3/4". 
• Stamp Owls using Owl-o-ween stamp set and color with the color medium of your choice. I used Copic Markers. You can then use the coordinating die set or fussy cut them out.
• Assemble card. 
• For Embellishment, die cut 3 Black Bats from Drac Die Set and add Black Onyx Gems. You can also add Glaze 'N Glue to the Owls noises, Diamond Stickles to the Star and highlights with a gel pen.

I'm excited to be joining Gina K. Designs for the August 2026 Release! I created a couple cards to share during tonight's LIVE Release Party over that you can find over on the Gina K. Designs YouTube Channel and Twitch.

 

Before we get started, make sure to check out the NEW Card Kit. It's called Autumn Escape Card Kit and it's jammed packed with goodies plus a FREE Gift!

 

Here's a peek at the 2 NEW Incentive Sets to pick from for all qualifying orders! Coordinating Die Sets are also available for both sets.

 

Make sure to select your FREE Incentive Set with your $75 purchase from the pop-up window in order to receive it. You may need to make sure your pop-up blocker is turned off. There are coordinating dies are available for purchase for both of the incentive stamp sets.

 

---------- 

  My first card features the NEW Budding Floretes Die Set. This set is a perfect companion to the Stacking Petals Die Set. I combined both sets to create a floral focal point on a stenciled backdrop using the NEW Polka Dots Stencil. I used the First Class Frame Cover Plate and Master Layouts 1 & 2 to create my layers. The sentiments are from Festive Bloom stamp set and Postage Plus B stamp set.

 

Card Measurements:

White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")

My Second card features the NEW Sending You Sunshine Incentive. A coordinating die set is available for purchase. I first stamped the image with Kraft Ink using a Misti (do not remove stamp) and then colored with Copic Markers before I re-stamped with Black ink and die cut the image out. The background is a piece of white card stock that I embossed with the NEW Polka Dots Stencil and a Silicone/Rubber Mat.
