Hello! Today, I’m delighted to be sharing three projects featuring products from the just-released Simon Says Stamp GOOD VIBES release. This release is serious fun – think beach, summer, bright and happy.
Let’s head to the beach! My first card features the Surf’s Up stamp set.
- I created a background with inks (from top): Salty Ocean, Summer Sky, Squeezed Lemonade, Dandelion, Tangelo, and Spiced Marmalade.
- I stamped the Surf’s Up beach/sun image in black ink on top of the inked panel. I die-cut a frame from Key Lime cardstock (included in the Gina K Add-On pack). The diameter of the circle die was such that I covered the outside circle of the beach/sun image with the frame.
- I stamped and Copic-colored a number of the images in the Surf’s Up set, adding them to the scene along with some clouds cut with the Picture Book Sky die.
- To finish off the card, I heat-embossed the sentiment on black cardstock and added it to the frame.
My next project showcases the intricate and elegant Debra die.
- I cut the die from white cardstock and cut it to an A2 size (the die cuts the inside design but not the outside edges).
- I created a panel to go behind the Debra frame with alcohol inks – Red Pepper and Sunshine Yellow – on Yupo paper.
- I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Vacation Time set and adhered it to the card.
My final project showcases several of the big sentiments in the Vacation Time set.
- I repeatedly stamped two of the Vacation Time sentiments on white cardstock for the card background.
- I added a die-cut Bikini and heat-embossed sentiment (Four Seasons set) to a circle cut from cardstock to match the ink I used to stamp the sentiments.

Jean, I took a stroll through the release last night and, you really have shown it off to its best. Making me reconsider.
Three fantastic cards, Jean – that bikini card really gave me a chuckle (no, I don’t wear them!!). Your surf’s up scene looks great – love the trio of palms! Cool background for the Debra die too!!
Such happy, summery cards – thanks for showing us your ideas!!
Love all 3 of these cards!!! Love the summertime theme and the colors you chose. I’ve been keeping an eye on your awesome projects but have been dealing with Vertigo for 6 weeks & haven’t commented. Even if you don’t see me on here, I’m still enjoying your posts!
I just love that hibiscus die cut with the amazing paper pieced background.
