Hi friends, I’ve placed an order from the Stamptember event going on at Simon Says Stamp. Have you put in yours yet? If not, click here and check things out!

While I wait for my goodies to arrive, I am perusing my favorite inspiration resource – Pinterest for ideas to use them with. I thought might as well go ahead and share them with you. 🙂

No, most of these were not made with the sets from Stamptember 2015 and none were made by me.

Also, I’ve listed the source of each of these lovely cards. Please do visit these outstanding artists and leave them some love. I am sure, you could find tons more inspiration when you visit their space.

Ideas for
My Friend stamp and die set

If I had to pick just one, I’d pick this one. It is so versatile!

I am thinking use the hexagon die with patterned paper, instead of butterfly make a play with the stamped and die cut feathers + leaves.

Dreaming of watercolor backdrop, stamped feathers, “hi” sentiment and scattered block arrow images from the set.

Ideas for
Enchanted Snowflakes Wafer Dies Set

I need to start making my holiday card soon and these dies seem like the perfect companions.

I am thinking of repurposing the Merry Christmas word from the circular die (trim it off from the circle) and pair it with one of the snowflakes

Kristina Werner and Jennifer Mcguire – the paper crafting divas I admire. This card is from Jennifer Mcguire and it is posted on Kristina’s blog. I am so in love with this card. This look will look great with one of the snowflake dies.

Instead of using just one snowflake, I’d use the rectangular frame with snowflakes for this one. Would team it up with Merry Christmas cut out using glitter paper.

The main big ornament could be the one from the set above. The other two can be done using circle dies. I’d layer a Merry Christmas die cut from gold glitter paper on the main ornament instead of an actual stamped sentiment.

There you have it!

Inspiration. Inspiration. Inspiration.

I am going to stop dreaming and get crafting now.
