{Simon Says Stamp + Mama Elephant} Stamptember Exclusive: Super Duo + Video!


I'm so excited to be featuring a Stamptember exclusive by Simon Says Stamp and Mama Elephant! This stamp set is called Super Duo, the coordinating die set is called Crusader Kids and, sold together, they're Strong Together.



I used Index Card Creative Cuts and Simon Says Stamp's Lipstick Red cardstock for the card base. The middle layer uses Simon's Fog grey card stock.


I die cut the focus panel from Embellished Tag Creative Cuts and sponged the top of it using Tumbled Glass distress ink and a mini blending tool.


I created a stencil using the little cloud die from Crusader Kids and applied pearlescent white embossing paste. After the paste dried, I stamped the primary sentiment on the base of the tag and adhered the superheroes with foam tape.


I stacked all three panels to gauge positioning for the secondary sentiment and stamped that on both grey panels. Finally, I die cut lightning bolts to reveal the red card base and help draw the eye down and across the card.


Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fun cards and video. They make me smile. The clouds look really terrific. I didn't know there was perlescent white embossing paste...must find some. I enjoyed learning how you positioned the lightning bolts so the cards would match. Thanks for the crafty learning experience.

You've made a super duo of cards! Love the sky on the tags with the embossing paste clouds, the two super-heroes are adorable, and my favourite touch might just be the lightning bolts. Altogether perfect. :)
