with Simon Says Stamp!
I first met Heidi, who owns Simon Says Stamp,
when I helped Tim with his Mexico cruise back in 2009...
Rick & I immediately fell in love with her...
her sweet personality & her adorable smile...
we quickly became friends...
I'm honored to help celebrate
STAMPtember with Heidi
& the whole awesome Simon Says Family...
here's how Simon Says came to be...
Simon Says Stamp was founded in 2002 with an interest in exclusively selling rubber stamps. It didn’t take long until we realized we couldn’t stop there. During the past 10 years we celebrate rubber stamping in its full glory by giving access to people around the world to a one stop shop. Rubber stamps still remain the heart of our business and we are celebrating by hosting a STAMPtember™ event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate the greatness of rubber stamping. Part of the enticement of rubber stamping is that stamps can be used in creating or complimenting ANYTHING! From stamping dates on bank documents and postage parcels in the early 18th century, rubber stamping has dramatically expanded to include card making, scrapbooking, mixed media and many forms of altering and expressing art.
and here's THE official LOGO...
there's NOTHING better than a SALE to celebrate...

Great video and Beautiful tag! A must-try I believe ... :)
I must have been living in a cave, as the incredible video on SSS was the first time I'd seen you. I love your style and was blown away by ALL the projects you showed at SSS. The bird almost put me over the edge, it was so wonderfully constructed and detailed. My next stop is the subscription button, even though I told myself I didn't need to read anymore blogs. I guess that means I'll have to drop some other one.... This one is too much fun to pass up!
It was a brilliant video over at SSS - thanks so much for sharing those great techniques! And what a wonderful giveaway... Stamptember is my new favourite month!!

Hmmm....no one else seems to be having a hard time watching the video....must be me....aaaargh! Well I am amazed by the other projects posted on SSS, they are amazing. I must have been under a rock with the other commenter who hasn't seen your work before. Such impressive pieces! I am gathering from the comments that I really need black tags and a snow cap distress pad. I am going to subscribe even with my self-imposed ban on more blogs to see if I can catch your video and other techniques. Thanks for bringing new techniques and fun ;)
Thank you! You, Tim and the crew at SSS are renewing my crafty, artistic side that has been dormant for far too long. For someone who is all about math, organization and everything in its place you have unleashed my inner creativeness that I never knew existed! I am moving from copying examples to creating my own and I so appreciate the guidance and knowledge ya'll provide.
So enjoyed your video - thanks for all the inspiration. What a great giveaway - thanks for the chance to win!

Wendy: Your creations (as always) are wonderful!! I hope you continue to make more videos!! YIPPEE! You did a great job!!
It mat have taken you all day, but your video came out fabulous! I love that creative intro! And, love this technique. You always make it look so easy!
The video was wonderful Wendy! Thank you for sharing your awesome techniques!
What a fabulous and fun opening segment for your video, Vecchi, Wendy Vecchi! LOL
Watching you create the tag was magical. I especially appreciated the tip of using the water brush to flick the metallic stain onto the tag. Brilliant!
Oh wow...pick me....pick me!!!!
It's neat how a tag can take on a totally different appearance using the black tags, instead of kraft ones. I enjoyed watching your techniques of colouring the white opaque ink once it is dried, and adding the gold edge with the distress stain. I want to re-create the tag right now, but it's late so will have to wait until tomorrow to get to my craft room (sigh!)
Thanks so much for your video inspiration!
