I am SO excited to share what has been going on behind the scenes at Simon Says Stamp the past few months! Many brands from the crafting industry have all come together to create one exciting "Masterpiece' to share with you! Well...The time has come! Heidi has been working on coordinating this launch all year! We've been teasing you on Facebook and Instagram... But it was worth the wait!
What is going on? It's the launch of an awesome LIMITED EDITION collection of products and it's called the Masterpiece Box! WOOHOO! The box features 15 products from 10 different manufacturers and it sells for $199.99. This is a savings off the full retail of all the products... However, the box isn't about savings. It's more about about bringing you something super special and exciting. The Masterpiece Box features new releases from many of the industries finest brands! Simon Says Stamp, Tim Holtz, Hero Arts, Altenew, Mama Elephant, Altenew, Clearly Besotted, WPlus9, Reverse Confetti, and Memory Box.
The box contains never before released stamp sets, dies, and ink pads. If you get a Masterpiece Box, you are receiving all of these products before they are released to everyone else. Please note that supplies are LIMITED. Once SSS is sold out of the Masterpiece Box, they will NOT be restocking.
I have three cards to share with you today - made with some of the awesome new stamps and dies from the Masterpiece Box! I have more projects to share on Saturday morning when we are doing a HUGE blog hop to share ALL the products! Can you tell I am super excited? LOL!
First up - introducing for the first time Crazy Dogs from Tim Holtz! Yes, he did birds, he did cats.... Now there are dogs! They are so happy and silly looking and I couldn't wait to ink this set up and use some of my favorite Distress Inks to watercolor.
I stamped and watercolored my dog and his tennis balls and then hand cut them out. I made a clean and simple layout with some kraft cardstock and another watercolor panel. I used the Tim Holtz Hashtags stamps - I thought this one was perfect! (supply list below)
I added some linen ribbon ti mimic a leash and a typed token that says "play" of course! I mounted my elements to my card using foam squares for dimension. EEK.
Here are my Distress Ink color choices for this project!
The next card was made using the NEW Exclusive Simon Says Stamp floral set! SOOOO pretty! I used my Kuretake Zig Clean Color Brush Markers to watercolor the flowers in bright tropical colors and then hand cut them. This is a square card and my card base was made from nice gray cardstock to 'ground' all that bright color.
And, lastly for today, NINJAS! Oh my gosh, these are so funny! Mama Elephant does it again with their cute drawings that capture a child like quality. I think I'm going to save this one for a Valentine card! I used a clean color palette of grey, white and pops of red and black.
So! What do you think? Isn't it super cool to be able to get products early? The best of some of our favorite companies all together like this? There is a brand new Simon Says Stamp ink color too - Lemon Zing. It's so refreshing! I've already used it a bunch. Here is an image that shows everything you will receive in your box. Have a great Friday! XOXO
I'm new to your site and very excited to join your blog. Love the colors you chose for your cards. That Cardinal is my favorite .

Looks like a great collection of stamps. A little over my budget. I guess I'll have to wait until the stamps get released. Love the new Simon says floral stamp. Can't wait to see all the new ink colors.
