Crafty Adventurista: Simon Says Stamp - It’s STAMPtember 2025!!

Hellooo,
So who’s excited about STAMPtember? I know I am and I am ecstatic to be chosen to receive a special STAMPtember stamp set from Heidi, the founder of Simon Says Stamp. They did a call out in August for people to apply to receive a set and spread the STAMPtember word, and I was amongst those chosen. You cannot imagine my joy at being picked and receiving this awesome set. It was released on the first day as part of the Simon Says Stamp special releases.

These sets, and all of the STAMPtember releases, are only available while stocks last, so if you don’t buy when you see them, they won’t be restocked and you’ll miss out.

You can find all of the collaborations here as they arrive each day.

Straight away I knew I wanted to do an old look recipe page, in vintage colours, when I looked at the set I'd received which was STAMPtember Baked With Love 2269ssc.

In my journal I stamped the cupboard with Ranger Distress Ink Ground Espresso. I had spritzed this with a little water as I wanted it to be a bit blurred. I went a little bit too heavy in the middle with the water, so I ended up free hand drawing over some of the lines with brown marker to define them a little.

I dabbed Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Inks Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso onto my non stick mat and with a water brush, I water-coloured in the cupboard. I stamped the jars on the top of the cupboard and also the picture frame with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Ink Ground Espresso and water-coloured these too with Ground Espresso, Vintage Photo, Tea Stain and Festive Berries.

I blended some of the browns with water around the cupboard and below it to further give an aged look to the scene and make look like a room.

I stamped the girl on separate white card, with Ground Espresso and VersaFine Clair Acorn and then coloured her in with the inks as detailed above. I went over her outlines with the brown marker to define her a little more and glued her down onto the scene.

I made up the little ‘recipe poem’ and you are welcome to reuse it in your makes if you’d like to.

I composed the text on my computer and printed it onto tissue collage paper (I attached this to a piece of copier paper so it would run through printer ok).

Then I went around it with a line of water so the tissue would tear away easily.

I adhered this with Tim Holtz Collage Medium and finished it off with some Tim Holtz Idea-ology Cello Sticker Tape.

And here’s my first make with my STAMPtember gift from Simon Says Stamp.

I hope you like it.
