I haven’t done a Product Release Close-Up for several weeks, so I was excited to have one for you today. These products are new from Simon Says Stamp and are all fun… so I know it may be overwhelming. I am hoping this video helps you get a better look at the products and how they might be used. You can find all the products HERE.

Here are the quick and simple projects I shared in the video…

I had such fun making these simple bookmarks with Lila. Lila stamped her fingerprint in several colors of pigment ink… and I stamped the new Simon Says Stamps Fingerprint Doodles images on top. Cute, huh?

These simple bookmarks actually slide over the corner of a page in a book. They are so easy to make – I just cut the corners off a sealed envelope. Easy!

We will be giving these to friends and family after Lila signs her name on the back.

I also created a couple simple cards using the new Simon Says Stamp Picture Book Fox and Bear Dies. I simply cut them from white cardstock, colored them with Copic Markers, and pieced them together on my card. The white pieces were created with the Simon Says Stamp Wonky Rectangle Die and the sentiment is from the Simon Say Stamp Wild Cuddly Critters Stamp Set.

For the look of texture on the bear, I dabbed with a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol.

In the video I also show a look at the new Copic Marker Sketch Fine Nib. These are FABULOUS. I simply remove the rarely-used broad tip and replace with this one. Now my markers have a brush tip and a fine/bullet/firm tip! YAY! There are three in a pack.

    Wow some amazing products up and close and personal on this video! Too many great ones that I really do love… but my top 3 are The Wild and Cuddly Critter stamps, The Finger Print Doodles stamps & the Bouquet of Thanks One of Kind stamps….. all three are very versatile and can be used for various occasions and themes. I appreciate you doing these up and close and personal videos with the new company products because it allows for me personally, to get to see the product in more detail and at times, to see it in action. Thanks for all you do Jennifer! I just lost my uncle to cancer on the 19th and my aunt 2 days later on the 21st! It’s been a very hard and long week so far for our family. This video definitely took me away from reality for a few minutes and I needed that!!
    Hugs,
    Jo
