blog hop and giveaway from me

Hello Friends, Welcome today to another Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Blog Hop. If you want to start at the beginning hop go to the Simon Says Stamp blog. Today I am excited to share with you the Kelly Purkey brand for Simon Says!! Lots of exciting new products were just released to celebrate STAMPtember®. Hang on to your “cart” because I think you will be delighted with more awesome goodies as you hop along today. Before you get hopping have you seen The Kelly Purkey Project Kit? Talk about an easy & beautiful way to share life’s special moments.
“CARD”  NUMBER ONE:
If you ask me you need these feathers. I love the size of the feathers especially the width. The zebra stencil looked cool on the feather and on the background using Distress ink and Hero Arts inks. If you are a project lifer the die cut I used on my card is a way to extend your supplies.
Photo1: use a dauber to ink up your card stock with the zebra stencil.
Photo 2: Add some distress ink & dry. Add distress stickles.
Photo 3: Trim the “and so the adventure…. ” die cut & “pop” on your card.
Photo 4: Add another feather in brown before popping your colorful feather.
CARD NUMBER TWO:
The second I saw this stamp set I knew I needed to use it immediately! Stamping a background makes me happy. A new way to attach vellum is washi tape! 
Photo 1: Stamp image with a variety of Hero Arts inks. (see links at bottom of post) 
Photo 2: Add highlights with some Copic markers. If you are new to Copics I suggest a “blending set”
Photo 3: Add a few more colors 
Photo 4: Stamp on vellum. Adhere some washi to card stock and trim for an accent on the vellum. You can hid the glue behind the washi tape.  CARD NUMBER THREE:
What fun to put together this card for a friend who worries a lot. After paper piecing the letters… the white letters were added at the bottom of the card for a twist. 
This washi from the Kelly Purkey brand from Simon makes a cool pattern when you line it up on some card stock. I used this as an addition layer on my card. 
MY GIVEAWAY: 
TELL ME  IF YOU HAVE A STASH OF WASHI & YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN THE KELLY PURKEY STAMP SET BELOW. I will draw a random winner October 1. (please leave your email if you don’t have a blog)
Thanks for your visit today I am always delighted when you stop by. Hugs, Kathy
NOW IT’S TIME TO HOP to the sweet, kind & talented Stephanie Klauck

    Great cards. I have fewer than 10 rolls of washi tape. I don’t think that’s a stash. My favorite is a new one with candy corn that I got a week ago. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Misty says

    Huge stash of the tape! Anytime I see it on sale I scoop some up, though I’m still looking for more ideas on how to use it. It’s just too cute to not get

  5. Patti McHugh says

    I’ve been adding to my washi tape collection like a crazy woman. I can’t have enough of them! Thanks for the chance!

  6. Hussena says

    All your cards are so beautiful Kathy 🙂 ..And yes I do have a small stash of washi which definitely needs some more addition :)..I quite love them 🙂

  8. Lin says

    What wonderful ideas you have for us today, Kathy! My favorite is the paper-pieced washi; I’ll be playing with that idea very soon! And yes, my washi stash is outgrowing its little drawer!

  22. Annie Wills says

    Uhh…yeah…I do. In my opinion, it’s not a “stash” unless it’s disorganized, so I have about 50 rolls placed in ROYGBIV order in a bunch of drawers. Nope, I just counted…I have 90…really shouldn’t buy any more of that…oops.

    Great cards as usual!

  23. Susan Lang says

    Yes, I have washi tape and must admit I don’t use it very often. It seems to come into play to cover up a boo-boo. But I am always drawn to the colors or patterns when shopping.

  25. RedGem says

    I just love your card and the great technique for the feathers. I have a load of washi tape, and so far have only used to hold my dies (shame on me!). I will have to look at them again differently!

  27. Miriam Prantner says

    Gorgeous cards, great techniques, love the idea of attaching vellum with washi, that second card is my favorite. I do have a washi collection, and I love it! Thanks for the chance to win!

  35. Laura says

    I *do* have a stash of washi, which I lovingly display in a cut glass bowl and enjoy looking at when I’m not using it on everything. 🙂 Happy Friday — thanks for the giveaway chance.

  36. Maryann Laursen says

    Awesome cards here Kathy. You´ve just done such an amazing job on all these carsd here, Thanks sooo much for all the great inspiration, you always share with us. I love that.

  38. Sandra says

    yes … yes, I have a stash of washi …. doesn’t everyone? I will say I held out for the longest time … but Staples was having a sale on the Scotch washi, and I could not pass it up!
    Love your cards,
    Thanks for the inspiration!

  42. Janis says

    I only have a small handful of rolls of Washi, but I love them. My LSS doesn’t carry much variety…and are usually mostly sold out when I’m there. 🙁

    Thanks for the chance to win this lovely stamp set!

  46. karenelr says

    Your cards are to die for!! I love them–I wish I could see a close up of the Birds of a Feather set! SSS doesn’t have a very large image. Yes, I have a small stash (10) of washi tape and I love it and want it to grow–I love what you did with Kelly’s new tape (the background)! Thanks for sharing!

  50. Ruth G says

    So many wonderful projects! I love the different ways you used washi tape (especially the red gridded one – so awesome!) Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring!

    I do have quite a washi tape stash and love to play with it, but sometimes I feel guilty because it’s so easy to dress things up! 😉

  51. conil says

    First, your cards are lovely and they made me laugh too, especially the “worry” one. Second, do I have a washi stash? How about one whole corner of my craft room…I could cover the walls with it.

  52. Angela NJ says

    Not only do I have a stash of tape, I can’t seem to stop collecting red/white patterns, which means that your second card really caught my eye. Thanks so much for offering such a lovely prize.

  55. Reusing with Quilling says

    Lovely cards ! The feathers with zebra pattern look very trendy ,loved the pattern and colors on second one and the technique used in third one ! I don’t own any washi tape yet would surely love win :D!!

  56. Barbara says

    I do have a small stash of washi(almost bought some more today) and I’m going to start using it soon. Actually, I have used some of it and am trying to figure how to use more for some Christmas cards!

  59. Sabrina says

    Cards are gorgeous!!! I actually just bought my first roll of Washi tape last week. Yeah!!!!! And so it begins one roll at a time! LOL!!!

  60. joy says

    I have a small stash of washi tape. But, I never seem to have the right color for the project I’m working on. How does that happen??

    Love those feathers – your cards are always amazing to me, Kathy!

  62. dr.jaya says

    Yyup! I do have my stash of washi tapes …but I’m thinking of buying some more:)
    would love to win the stamp…thanks for the chance..:)
    Hugs
    Jaya

  63. Jen says

    I have a few *cough*dozen*cough* rolls of washi. I love it so! Awesome trick to use it on vellum, I will definitely need to try that one.

  64. Gail says

    I have a great stash of Washi but always could use more – we are all crafting hogs aren’t we??? LOL Thanks for your display of creations – just lovely! ENjoy your week! utb01@ att. net no spaces.

  65. Happy Dance says

    Love that wild zebra stenciling! That first set of cards is totally brilliant. The adventure die is killer. Gorgeous coloring on the second card, and love the washi panel on the last one. All have such happy colors in them. Bev

  66. Dana says

    I have to admit that I have rolls of washi tape that I have near used. Thanks for the inspiration on how to use them. Love all your cards.

  68. Marianne says

    Great cards Kathy. Imso admire people who get their hands on a new product and immediately come up with several ideas on how to use it, and pretty awesome ideas at that. When I have seen all the inspirational creations and decide I need it too and buy it, I often look at it and don’t know what I’m going to do with it. ;-(
    As for washi tape, I have 3 rolls of very narrow paper tape that I have only used to tape down my dies. I guess I might have given into the temptation if there had been a craft shop in my area. Since I need to order all my supplies online and overseas I have only looked at the images but could never decide on a particular pattern or colour.

  71. Leslie L. says

    I have a dozen or so rolls of washi tape and, like others, I am looking for more ways to use it. I get inspiration once in awhile but it never turns out the way I envisioned.

  73. diana says

    Great cards! Thanks for the ideas. 😉
    I have a small stash of about 10 rolls of washi tape, most of them gifted to me. Does that count? LOL

  76. Flo says

    Love this stamp set, and your card is great. Yes, I have a very large washi tape stash and I actually use it in lots of ways, not just on cards.

  81. Cheryl B. says

    Got the stash of washi tape, the dispenser and the T-shirt! Just got some Christmas washi tape in the mail today! I need help. Loved your cards.
    csbrenton at aol dot com

  82. cm says

    Stunning cards; fabulous inspiration. Thank you! And I’m embarrassed to say: no washi tape in my collection at all…another trend missed…
    c

  86. Kathy H says

    Awesome cards! I have just a few washi rolls. I’m trying to keep my stash under control and mainly use what I have – except for stamps that is!

  90. jengd says

    Great cards Kathy! I love the riot of colors on all of them! I have washi… I haven’t used it, want to but haven’t, but I definitely have some. 🙂 Thanks for the chance!

  96. Lucy Schmidt says

    Lovely cards. I’m head over heels in love with the feathers! As for the washi tape, it depends on your definition of “stash.” I have about 15 rolls, so that may be on the edge of the definition. I do, however, have stashes of LOTS of things. Kelly’s tape is gorgeous.

  100. Kimberly James says

    I love what you have done with KP’s washi. I am always looking for more ways to use mine. Do I have a stash of washi? Um, yeah, close to 300 rolls. But don’t tell anyone, ok.

  106. Amy Kolling says

    It was so fun to hop along this hop with you! You said it sister….I have a big stash of Washi. I love covering paper with it and making it my own pattern paper! I must get those feather dies now! 🙂

  109. Maureen Hayes says

    Yes, I do have a stash of Washi tape. My problem seems to be using it. It is all so pretty that I hoard it, which is completely ridiculous! Thanks for the chance to win.

  111. Tammy J says

    Yes I have Washi I don’t use. I love your second and third card. Love the second one. I always like to see what you do because it always has so much pazzaz. TFS

  112. Shona Chambers says

    Fantastic cards and love the way you used the red washi tape, very effective!! I have a HUGE stock of washi tape which accumulated very quickly after seeing it at a craft show. I don’t use it enough but can’t help buying more!!

  113. Anja (scrappie) says

    Wow I really love all your cards and the way you used that red washi is unbelievable clever. I have a huge stash of washi-tape I love it but never thought about using it that way, thanks for sharing and wow how generous of you to give away that great stampset thanks for the chance to win.

  117. Laura Turcotte says

    You are one of the most talented gals I visit everyday! Love the cards!! Really do!

    I have a small stash of washi, 50 rolls or so..lol.. I love them! Thanks for the chance!

  120. Katherine says

    Love your cards – they are all fabulous! I have a tiny stash of washi tape – about 35 rolls – just LOVE all those pretty colors and patterns. LOL! Thanks for the chance to win!

  121. TenSGal says

    Love your cards…especially the “don’t worry” card….what a great die and I love, love, love how you put that card together.

    Yes, I do have a stash of Washi tape and yes, sometimes I even use it! LOL!

    Oh and I got rid of the spam by not letting anonymous posters posts. That may not work for you but it did me. I figure in this day and age most people have a google account. Not all…but most bloggers and blog followers do. I was getting several spammers a day…and now nil! Yay!

  122. Lynn says

    Great cards – I love those feathers . I also have a stash of washi tape – I sometimes even use a ” small strip .” – LOL

  123. cards by cara says

    Ah, yes … my collection of washi is growing by the week! 🙂 I love using it to decorate envelopes. Love your cards!! Great tips as well. Thanks for the chance to win.

  124. Anonymous says

  127. Jayne says

    I don’t have a stash of washi, but I’m seriously considering starting one. Love your cards! But, now I have to buy those feather dies.

  128. sue t. says

    I have at least 50 rolls of washi tape and don’t use it nearly enough, but I love to look at it- like my paper stash! us stampers are sick people huh?!!??

  130. Linda T says

    I love what you did with the washi tape. I have a stash of over 40 rolls. I LLove washi tape, like an addiction, but only have a few ideas of what to do with it.
    Thank you for the chance to win you’re lovely give away.

  131. forpahl5 says

    I don’t have a large stash of washi tape just because I did not think I would use it. But I really do like it more and more each time I see it. I love your card front!

    forpahl5atgmaildotcom

  133. Andrea Garland says

    Wonderful cards as always Kathy, I have a little stash of washi tape like 5 or 6. I want to buy more.
    Thanks for the chance to win the stamp set.

    andreagarland(at)gmail(dot)com

  134. Brenda says

    Yes, I think what I have in the washi supply is a stash. I enjoy seeing other people’s uses of all products; it’s inspirational! Thanks for the chance.

  135. Torrie says

    Great cards! I love the feathers too. You better believe that have a stash of washi! I love it and I actually like to use it instead of just hoarding it.

  137. Kelly says

    I guess I’m a total freak because I have none!!! It’s not that I don’t like it but when I go to get some, it seems like I get sooo overwhelmed at all the choices and so I just don’t decide!! I would love to win some!! KellysKardKreationz.com

  138. Pamela says

    Card Number two is just gorgeous <3 The copic coloring is beautiful! I do have a small stash of washi made up of mostly Target washi 🙂

  142. Message Keeper says

    Love, love, love that washi tape background! Wonderful – just like a handmade patchwork!

    Yes, I do have some washi stash and hopefully I can make use of them to make something wonderful like you here!

  144. mewTilman says

    Annie Wills is right! It’s not a stash if it’s organized. Mine is threaded onto a broomstick (broom removed!) that leans in any corner. I use it for dies and on cards. Wonderful collection of cards. Need that feather die!
    mewDOTtilmanATgmailDOTcom

  148. Arlene D says

    Cute card! Like the pattern the washi tape makes. My stash of washi tape fills four or five trays of Snapware! Love all the colors!

  149. Colorado Crafter says

    I don’t have much washi tape so far. I’ve only bought a couple of packs from Stampin’ Up… one because it matched some paper I bought and the other pack was for Halloween since I love making Halloween cards. I have not used any of it yet… really need to see if the Halloween tape will work on any of the Halloween cards I need to get busy and get made! LOL!

  151. Christi Conley says

    I have an eclectic stash of washi – still trying to find cool ways to use it – I love these cards – each one made me ohh & ahh more than the last, but that first set is my FAV 🙂

  155. JParma says

    I have lots of washi that I haven’t used yet, but they are
    in my future plans! Great cards,
    thanks for sharing.

  157. Kim says

    I love your cards and I’m such a fan! I have a ton of washi and I don’t use it enough. That’s one of my goals to use it, not just hoard it. Lol! I’m going to make a card today with your tip to use it as a background. Thank you for the inspiration and the chance to win. That stampset is gorgeous! Take care. 🙂

  160. Janet says

    Definitely have a stash of washi tape and storing it in a Keurig K-cup Storage Drawer Coffee Holder for 36 K-cups it works like a dream!!! ~God bless~

    Great cards by the way ;o)

  161. Kathy Eddy says

    Great card. Love your ideas. I have got to have those feathers! I keep seeing them! Yes, I have a stash of washi but you can never have too much, can you! I bought a nice big glass jar with a cover and it is full with a few iext to it. LOL

  164. TLady says

    I LOOOOOOOOOVE your cards Kathy!!!!!!:) SUCH NEAT IDEAS for the Washi Tape!!!!:) I have just a few rolls. I bought some when I wanted to make some Lip Gloss & seal the jars with it, for little gifts. I also got a roll that looks POSTAL! AND my DEAR SWEET FRIEND sent me a gift card for my Birthday awhile back & I got some more Washi Tape at the store only recently! (It takes me awhile to get to the store! LOL) THANKS for showing us your ideas!! I NEEDED THEM!!!!!!!:)I think Washi Tape is FUN!!! One of those things you can NEVER have too much of!!!!!:)

  170. Cris G says

    Beautiful cards, Kathy. I love those feathers a lot… they look terrific with the zebra pattern. And I also love the falling white letters on your third card. Very cute.
    As for the washi tape, can’t call it a stash…

  171. Katie says

    That’s my birthday day!! Love the washi tape, sentiment (flat) and the letters at the bottom of the card. Also love those feathers, wow, what a neat twist!! Thanks for sharing.

    Katie B.

  177. Angie says

    Gorgeous cards, Kathy!!! All of them have such pretty colors! Love the second card and how you drew around each feather. SO pretty and straight lines!!! 🙂 Way cool card with the Washi in the background!!! Love the inlaid words and the fun letters and words falling off the page!! Awesome. I do have the beginnings of a stash of Washi, but I don’t seem to know what to do with it most of the time!

  178. Carol says

    Love your bright and cheery cards, Kathy – so adventurous! I do have a small stash of Washi, but I have to admit that I’m kind of timid in my use of it on my cards. I guess I need to be more courageous!

  180. Pat McCleary says

    Yes I have about a dozen rolls of washi, which is obviously not enough. Love your cards & your tips are so helpful. Thanks for sharing & for a chance to win.

  185. Lizzy C says

    I just love your tutorials!! Your cards are always so creative! I have a small bowl of washi, but think I’ll be needing more- love the red tape you used!

  187. Renee says

    I love your cards and posts, your step outs are so helpful!!!!! Yes, I have about 10 rolls of washi 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win this KP set, it’s GORGEOUS!!!!

  188. bzyPTmom says

    Lovely cards, thanks for sharing! I have a mini-washi collection, just a few rolls here and there. I guess I’m not terribly trendy, because I’m not sure how exactly to use it, I have a couple of times but really prefer the texture and feel of ribbon instead.

  192. Birgit says

    Hi Kathy,

    Your cards are all exquisite. 🙂

    I have but one roll of washi tape because I think they are quite expensive.

    Happy creating,
    Birgit

  194. Victoria H. says

    Beautiful cards and such fun uses of the products! Love the feathers and washing tape background.
    I have a collection of washi tape. I call it a collection because I don’t use it much…just don’t think of it or don’t know how to incorporate it into the card I’m making…haha!

  198. Cazzy says

    I love the Don’t worry card. I don’t have a stack of washi tape, I have stacks of other stash though, I do have three rolls of Tim Holtz tape – does that count?

    Cazzy x

  199. Karen says

    I have quite a nice collection of Washi tape; always looking for new ways to use it. Love the way you lined in up on card stock.

  204. Kyle4143 says

    Great cards! I love the washi background it’s very funky! I absolutely have a stash. I need to use it more and not just collect it! I’m going to try the background technique for sure!

  210. Andrea says

    I LOVE your samples!! I just preordered both new KP kits and CANT WAIT! I have a stash of washi, maybe 25 rolls so far? They are SO addicting!! Thanks for the inspiration!

  211. Sharon says

    Beautiful cards! Yes I have a few rolls of washi tape. Trying to not finish it up too fast because it is not easily available in the country where I lived 🙂

  212. Memories by Manda says

    I do indeed have a stash of washi (and it keeps growing). How can one resist all the awesome designs and colours? BTW How did you cut your washi so thin and straight?

    memoriesbymanda AT gmail DOT com

  213. Renuka says

    Don’t know if I should call it a stash. I have 10-12 of them and I don’t use them thinking …ooh these are so pretty, I will use it for some fab project:). Love your Washi taped background. The feather diecut looks so amazing. Thanks for sharing!

  214. lori says

    I’m ashamed to tell you just how much washi tape I have! *sigh* I think its much more than a stash….maybe a ton? Or two tons? I’d love to collect more! Oh well, a gal’s gotta have some vices! Thanks for the chance to win!

  215. ionabunny says

    Great cards. Yeah, got to get those feathers. I got tape. Started making my own as well. Easy and a perfect match to any project. Might have to alter some washi to use a bit up……

  216. Cornelia W says

    Of course I have washi tape at home – I actually started to use it – LOL! Great idea to use it as a background – have to give this a try! Thanks for the inspiration!

  218. Kylie says

    I don’t have a huge stack of washi tape, maybe 5 rolls. I do love your cards and how you used the washi on the vellum. Great idea. I also love th background you colored with your copics. looks so beautiful.

  219. Felicia says

    Love your card ideas! I haven’t ventured out with Washi tape, mainly because not sure how to be creative with it. Maybe this opportunity to win will help me out!! Thanks for sharing!!

  220. Larissa Heskett says

    Well I do have a few Washi tape rolls, but I’m not addicted to it!! I use it mostly to hold my dies on to cut!! 😉 THANKS for sharing I LOVE your creations!! Have a Fabulous Week! 😉

  224. Mary-Anne V says

    what wonderful cards….i love how you used washi tape in varying degrees. I have a stash and need to really use them more often- thanks for the ideas.

  225. Michelle says

    Great cards, Kathy! I love how the washi tape lined up to make that awesome pattern! Yes, I do have a stash of washi, just a little stash, but a stash all the same. 😉

  226. Emily Velazquez says

    Love the way you used the copics to highlight the second card. I have NO washi tape… yet. I’ve been dying to try some, though. Thanks for sharing and the opportunity to win. 🙂

  233. lostinpaper says

    I love the idea of Washi and have a small stash of it, mostly it gets looked at and admired…. I think it’s made it onto 2 cars so far lol. I often come in at the end of a trend so there is hope yet. ps thanks for more great inspiration!

  240. Bunny Dobbie says

    Not much washi tape yet. Only 6 rolls. I love it and wish I had more but can never decide what patterns and colours I would get the most use out of so I end up not buying any.
