Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Shine On Release Blog Hop! Today I’m sharing two colorful flat shaker cards featuring brand-new products from the Shine On Release paired with a few favorite previously released Simon Says Stamp sentiment stamps/die products. In today’s reel, I am demonstrating how to create flat shaker cards, share a fun twist on the blackout embossing folder technique without using black ink, and show how inking directly onto colored cardstock die cuts can add depth and dimension while building a playful underwater scene.
