The SSS STAMPtember 2026 collaboration today is with Brutus Monroe and is called Silly Goose. You can purchase just the Silly Goose stamp set or the Silly Goose stamp and die bundle as shown here:

When I first saw this set I didn’t appreciate it. But then in walked the 11 year old grand-daughter I often mention as she is my sous chef in my card making. She loves geese. Who knew! She made me stamp them again for her to color. I saw these geese through her eyes and suddenly fell in love! I wanted to make a card for all 3 of the holidays they represent but I stuck to my favorite which is Christmas so here you go:

After seeing this card I’m hoping you love geese too! Could this girl be any cuter???!!! I stamped “her” and a bunch of the trees with Versafine ink. I colored them with Copics and used a gold Uniball gel pen for the stars. I added jewel red Nuvo Drops on the trees and gold glitter ones on the goose. I don’t know why SSS stoped selling Nuvo Drops as I still use mine all the time – they last forever and give you the perfect little finishing touch to colored images! I die-cut all of the images out with the matching dies.

I die-cut one of the Chunky Oval Wafer Dies from an A2 piece of cardstock. I then applied Apple and Cranberry PSInk to the inside piece. I attached both to a white card base. I arranged the trees around the oval like a wreath. I added Miss Goose to the center. I stamped a sentiment from the set and die-cut it out. I attached that over the neck of the Misses. Or Mrs. And that is it! I tried adding some sequins but it was just too much!

I hope you like this Brutus Monroe Silly Goose stamp and die bundle as much as I do! I am now a big fan of geese just like my grand-daughter! Thanks for visiting today! Suzy

Today is a special SSS STAMPtember daily release. Instead of a collaboration it is a SSS release of several embossing folders and cutting dies. You can purchase all 6 of them together as a bundle as shown here:

I used the Penguin Pals EF and CDs for my card. You can purchase the embossing folders by themselves (for only $9.99) or with the cutting dies as a bundle. Here is the one I used:

It was hard to choose between the Penguin Pals and the cute Fable Snowy Deer but I just can’t resist penguins! Here is my card:

I embossed the Penguin Pals EF using white cardstock. I then die-cut about 20 of the single penguin die and layered them on the EF and cut off the edges and embossed them all at one time (tricky but doable!). I colored them all with Copic markers and glued them over the EF. It is much harder to color them directly on the EF without the cutting dies without going out of the edges! I carefully flicked some black paint over it.

I stamped a sentiment using the Christmas Starflakes stamp and die bundle and Versafine Ink. I glued that to a rectangle and attached it to the bottom of my card. I added some Rainbow Splash clear drop stickers and black and white bakers twine to finish it.

You can purchase the bundle of embossing folders and cutting dies at this link HERE or just the Penguin Pals EF and CD that I used HERE. Thanks so much for visiting today and happy STAMPtember! Suzy

Today’s SSS STAMPtember 2026 collaboration is with Trinity Stamps. It is called Confetti Yeti and is sold in three ways: Confetti Yeti stamp, die, and embellishment mix bundle, Confetti Yeti stamp and die bundle (shown below), and Confetti Yeti stamp set.

How cute is this set?!!!! Here is my card:

I stamped the images with black ink and colored them with Copics. I struggled with what color I should use on the Yeti’s and ended up with gray but I look forward to seeing what other people did with them. I was thinking pink at first! I die-cut all of them out with the matching dies.

I really struggled with what the background should look like so I enlisted my 11 year old grand-daughter again. She told me EXACTLY what to do and I had no choice but to follow her directions just hoping they would look good! She picked out the ink colors and even inked the grass herself with Limelicious PSInk. I used some grassy border dies in my stash but SSS has some that are in the supply list – they are just taller spikes than mine. I used the Slimline Cloud Stencils for the sky with Marine PSInk. I arranged all of stamped images over the background and added a sentiment. She was pleased whew! (As was I!).

This Confetti Yeti stamp and die bundle by Trinity Stamps is so cute. There are a few SSS STAMPtember collabs still available at this link. Thanks for staying with me for the month! We are half way done already with the best month of the year for us stampers! Suzy

Today is the release of the SSS October 2026 Card Kit called Homespun Gratitude. Here is an image of the kit:

This kit includes the following SSS items exclusively in the kit (although they are all sold separately so click on them to get to them in the SSS store):

• Homespun Gratitude 6×8″ stamp set
• A2 Hand-stitches Rectangle die set
• Verdant Wreath Embossing Folder
• Seasonal Whimsy Card Fronts

Here are the SSS add-on products that are not in the kit:

• Homespun Gratitude Stamp and Die bundle (stamp is in the kit)
• Homespun Gratitude Dies
• Homespun Halloween stamp and die bundle
• Homespun Halloween 6×8″ stamp set
• Homespun Halloween matching dies
• Homespun Thanksgiving stamp and die bundle
• Homespun Thanksgiving stamp set
• Homespun Thanksgiving dies

Here are my projects made with the kit:

I used one of the SSS Seasonal Whimsy card fronts for this card. I stamped several of the elements in the Homespun Gratitude stamp set with Cocoa PSInk, colored them with Copics and die cut them out with the matching Homespun Gratitude dies.

I attached all of the images to the background creating a little scene in the center. I stamped a sentiment from the Homespun Thanksgiving stamp set using the stamp set with the same Cocoa PSInk and die-cut it out with the matching dies. I attached some Copper Nuvo Drops around the background.

This card was not meant to look like this. I had one of those experiences where everything goes wrong so instead of giving up you go in a different direction. I embossed the Verdant Wreath EF in the kit using white cardstock. I colored it with Copics but one of my greens was over-filled and leaked all over my wreath twice. I decided to fix it by cutting it out and using a white Uniball over the edges of some of the leaves. I stamped the little blanket image with Cocoa PSInk and colored it with Copics.

I used the Copper Kraft Cardstock in the kit for the background. I die-cut it with the A2 Hand-Stitched Rectangle Dies. I attached the wreath to the center with the blanket image on the bottom of it. I stamped a sentiment with Cocoa PSInk again and glued it to the center of the wreath. I tied some orange ribbon along the bottom of the card. I added some sequins around the wreath.

I applied PSInks to the outside edges of the tags in the kit. I die-cut one of the smaller A2 Hand-Stitched Rectangle Dies from two of the cardstock colors in the kit and attached them to the center of each tag. I stamped some of the images in the Homespun Gratitude stamp set using Cocoa Ink and die-cut them out. I glued the images and sentiments to the front of each rectangle. I tied some ribbon and twine to the top of each tag.

I love this Homespun Gratitude October 2026 card kit for making Fall cards and tags! I hope you enjoyed my creations! Thank you for stopping by! suzy

I love love love Pretty Pink Posh which is today’s SSS STAMPtember collaboration! I was on the design team for years and it is just the sweetest company run by the sweetest family with the sweetest stamp designs! The set is called Warm Heart as shown here:

Here is my card:

I stamped all of the images (with 3 of the candy cane and 2 of the snowflakes) with Versafine Ink. I colored them in with Copic markers. I used Frosted Lace Stickles over the snowflakes. I also stamped a sentiment. I die-cut them all out with the matching dies.

I embossed the Melbourne Embossing Folder from the STAMPtember release because it has the prettiest snowflake pattern on it. I attached all of the images with foam tape underneath some. I slit the top of the mugs so I could tuck the candy canes inside them. I added some peppermint sequins around the background.

I so enjoyed working with this darling Warm Wishes stamp and die bundle. There are limited supplies of all of the SSS STAMPtember collaboration sets which you can see HERE. Thanks for visiting! Suzy

Today’s SSS STAMPtember Collaboration is with Memory Box and is called Stay Cozy. It is sold as just the Stay Cozy stamp set or as a Stay Cozy stamp and die bundle as shown here:

Of course I had to make a slimline card with these cuties!

I stamped all of the images in the stamp set including the sentiment I used with versafine ink. I colored them in with Copic Markers. They were so fun to color – especially those cute little scarves that I made stripes! I die-cut them all out with the matching dies. I so love a good sentiment die!

I made the background using Marine PSInk on the sky and kept it very light because that is what my grand-daughter made me do. I had a really dark bright sky and she said nope and made me this one instead. She’s the boss! I die-cut two hills with the Lawn Fawn Hillside dies and attached the bottom one with foam tape for dimension. I added all of the images and the sentiment. I used Stickles for a lot of shimmer on the snow and snowflakes.

This Stay Cozy stamp and die bundle by Memory Box is so darn cute. I do love a good deer to color! You can see all of the STAMPtember collabs that are still available for purchase at this link. Thanks for stopping by! Suzy

Today’s SSS STAMPtember collaboration is with HoneyBee and is called Holly Jolly Frames. You can buy this 6×8″ stamp set alone or with as a bundle with a set of dies as shown here:

I made a 5×7″ card with this set.

I decided to make a “random stamped” background because the set has all of these smaller images I thought were so cute. I stamped them on a piece of 5×7″ white cardstock with black ink and colored them with Copic markers. I also used a gold Uniball gel pen for the bells and the ornament tops and a white Uniball gel pen for dots on the bows and berries. I die-cut the circle die in the matching die set with white cardstock and stamped the sentiment in the circle. I die-cut the bell stamp as well and attached that to the center.

I used the SSS Notched A7 Rectangle Dies for the background. First I die-cut the piece I had colored and then I die-cut a piece of gold matte cardstock with one size bigger. I mounted both on a red card base. I attached the circle over the card with foam tape and glued the single bell to the center.

I didn’t use the absolutely beautiful frames in this stamp set that would be perfect for holiday tags! It is called the Holly Jolly Frames stamp and die bundle so not using them seems criminal haha. I just wanted to show a different way to use this set as it has so many possibilities. One of my favorites in the SSS STAMPtember collaborations for sure! Thanks for visiting today! Suzy

Today’s SSS STAMPtember 2026 collaboration is with Gina K Designs one of my all time favorites! The set is called Life’s Best Moments and is sold in 4 ways:

• Life’s Best Moments Bundle: Stamp, Die, Polyglaze, and Stencils
• Life’s Best Moments Bundle: Stamp, Die, and Stencils
• Life’s Best Moments Bundle: Stamp and Die
• Life’s Best Moments Stamp Set

Here is an image of the bundle that includes the Life’s Best Moments stamp, die, polyglaze and stencils:

I used the Life’s Best Moments stamp and die bundle for my two cards as shown here:

I started by stamping all of the images in the Life’s Best Moments stamp set with Latte PSInk. I stamped 3 of the single branch and one of each of the floral groupings. I colored them in with Copic Markers AND colored pencils. I used pencils to outline, add additional shading, and to go over the lines in the stamped images.

I only planned on making one 5×7″ card and had it all laid out but changed my mind at the last minute and made two standard size cards. I used the new Embossed Card Edges Wafer Dies for the card designs by die-cutting a piece of A2 white cardstock with the die at the bottom for this card. I attached it to a pink card base. I stamped the sentiment with Guava PSInk. I die-cut it out and another one out as well so I could glue them together for more depth. I attached the smaller floral grouping in the top left corner and one of the individual branches to teh top and side of the card. I glued the sentiment on and added some sparkling clear sequins.

I basically did the same thing for this card. I used the same set of Embossed Card Edges Wafer Dies but this time I used the scalloped one on the right side of the card. I attached it to a pink card base again. I attached the larger floral image to the bottom and added one of the individual branches to teh top right. I stamped another sentiment with Guava PSInk again and glued two together. I attached that to the top and added some sparkling clear sequins again.

I really really really love these cards and I don’t say that very often about my cards. They are very detailed in the coloring but simple enough that I didn’t over do them for once! Plus I love flowers and love pink. I think they are supposed to be magnolia flowers and they do come in pink but not quite this bright! I hope you like this Gina K Life’s Best Moments stamp and die bundle. You can see all of the collabs still available and the different Gina K options available at this link here. Thanks so much for visiting! Suzy

Today’s SSS STAMPtember Collaboration is with Alex Syberia and is called Lovely Day. You can purchase it as a stamp and die bundle or as a stamp alone. Here is a link to the bundle and an image of it:

When I received my box of collab sets this one immediately jumped out at me. Flowers! Such a gorgeous illustration to color! Here is my card:

I stamped the Lovely Day images with Latte PSInk. I outlined the inside of the flowers first with a black Micron pen. Then I colored them with copic markers. I added some shading with colored pencils. I stamped and colored several of the little flowers in the set. I stamped a sentiment from the set with Versafine Ink.

I die-cut an Eyelet Layer Frame Die using white cardstock and attached it to a pink card base. I glued the large flowers to the center of it and then added all of the little ones I colored around it. I glued the sentiment to the bottom. I added some Honeybee Pearl Stickers around the background (which are hard to see as they are a light green).

I love this LOVELY DAY Stamp and Die Bundle by Alex Syberia so very much. It was so fun to color! You can see all of the STAMPtember collaborations that are left at this link HERE. Thanks so much for visiting! Suzy

Today’s SSS STAMPtember Collaboration is with the beloved Mama Elephant! The stamp and die bundle is called Round Tag Friends and can be purchased as a bundle or just as the Round Tag Friends stamp set. Here is an image of the bundle:

I made several tags with this set as shown here:

They are pretty much all made the same way so I’ll tell you the details after the photos of each below:

I stamped the three tags in the Round Tag Friends stamp set with black ink. I stamped the smaller images 3x each not sure yet what my plan was. I colored the outside and tops of the ornaments with a Gold Uniball Gel Pen. I colored all of the other parts with Copic Markers. I added some lines with a White Uniball Gel Pen. I then stamped the circle of words on the inside of one of my tags with Versafine Ink. I also stamped the smaller sentiments twice with black ink. I luckily had the dies so I die-cut all of the elements out. I arranged them on the tags and added some twine and done!

I love this Round Tag Friends stamp and die set by Mama Elephant. They just never go wrong and this set is so versatile. I could have made so many more tags and my grandkids will love them!
