Hello there! Welcome to my blog and to the Simon Says Stamp Hello Beautiful Blog Hop.
For today I made a couple of projects featuring the fallowing new goodies:
- Chunky A2 Scalloped Rectangles.
- Botanical Split Background.
- Fine Detail Cream Embossing Powder.
- Slimline Beautiful You Stamp Set.
For the background panels of the cards in this post, I applied a super easy embossing resist technique.
As colouring medium, I used Distress Stain Sprays and inks.
Something I can say about the new SSS embosing powder is that is gorgeous! It is a must-have to do embossing resist over watercolour paper as it matches its color providing a more organic look.

When possible, I’ll be incorporating videos with voice-over in Spanish, for the Spanish speaker community.
Here is my first crafty video ever with a voice-over in Spanish and see how it does. 🙂

YOU MAKE MY LIFE BEAUTIFUL 5X7 CARD
- To make this card, I stamped the images from Botanical Split Background on watercolour paper using Versamark ink ( clear).
- Then, I sprinkled the new Simon Says Stamp Fine Detail Cream Embossing Powder over and I heat embossed it.
- Once the panel was heat embossed, I applied Distress Oxide and Stain Sprays over.
- I used a brayer to spread the lighter ink shades.
- To achieve an oxidized effect I sprayed water over the ink.
- I allowed the panel to dry, and I die cut it using the largest die from Chunky A2 Scalloped Rectangles.
- I used Turtle Doves Wafer Dies to die-cut a piece of watercolour paper and some gold glitter paper for die-cut accents.
- To add colour to the doves and leaves, I sprayed the die-cuts using Speckled Egg, Old paper, Walnut Stain, and Rusty Hinge Distress sprays ( listed in the supplies list below).
- Using a red Copic marker, I added colour to the dove’s beak and I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to make it glossy.
- The banner was made using sentiments from Slimline Beautiful You Stamp Set and Simon Says Stamp Fine Detail Cream Embossing Powder.
- I also added some clear sequins and Fashion Gold embellishments to decorate.
To finish, I adhered all the elements together using liquid glue except from the banner and the doves as for those I used dimensional foam pads.
PRAYING FOR YOU C6 CARD
To make this super easy card, I also heat embossed a water colour panel using Botanical Split Background and Fine Detail Cream Embossing Powder.
- Then, I applied Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks on the glass mat.
- I sprayed water over the inks and I dabbed the watercolor panel on the inky mix until I covered most of its surface.
- To darken the colour, I also applied Black Sooth Distress ink on the glass mat, I sprayed it with water and dabbed the paper over the mixture.
- To add sparkle, I splattered Sparkle Silk.
By doing this I got several little coloured speckles on the paper.
To finish, I applied salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and Black smooth over the edges of the panel.
- Once dry, I die cut it.
- The gorgeous butterflies were made using Stitching Butterflies.
- I made 2 little banners using pre-printed sentiments and I glued them behind the butterfly winds.

Hola, Bibi! Que lindas tus tarjetas! So beautiful! Me gusto que hiciste un video en Espanol. Aunque hablo ingles la mayoria del tiempo, quiero mejorar y aprender bien el Espanol. Saludos desde San Antonio, Texas, donde ya nos andaba con el friazo que nos llego de la noche a la manana. Se nos fue la luz y el agua en todo el estado. Gracias a Dios que no tuvimos problema con eso pero la gente de mi estado hermoso sufrio muchisimo. Saludos y abrazos, Bibi.
Hola, siento mucho lo que ha pasado en Texas, me alegra saber que a pesar de las dificultades estas bien. Abrazo y gracias por compartir. x

Such beautiful cards! Love the backgrounds…
Thanks for sharing.
Bibi, your cards are so uniquely different than all the others in this hop. I really enjoyed them. Thank you. ❤️
I have to try the brayer with the distress sprays! That came out great! Beautiful cards and release!
I am new to card making and learning so much…so glad I found you and subscribed to your blogs..I love the emails that I get from all your tutorials . Your artistic eye for colors, textures and layouts are really fantastic. I love both the cards but the birds (I think they are doves) are absolutely gorgeous! I have never seen coloring like that. These cards would be great for weddings, the winter holiday season, valentines day. Just because…probably any occasion. I don’t think I will ever be able to create as beautiful a card but I sure am going to try.
thank you Lorie for your kind comments. x
These are both beautiful! Love the colour, and the way you combined older products with the new ones!
Hi, Bibi – You have reminded me to do emboss resist more often. I forget about it but it’s such a great technique and you’re a fantastic teacher! Love your cards, especially the one with the butterflies. Isn’t this a fabulous release?! Love it! Thank you for inspiring me and many others.
