Hello everyone! Today I’m celebrating STAMPtember 2026 with Simon Says Stamp and Pinkfresh Studio!
As you probably know, every September Simon Says Stamp celebrates STAMPtember with a brand new collaboration set released each day. And today, it’s Pinkfresh Studio’s turn!
This year’s SSS x Pinkfresh Studio collaboration set, Grace and Gratitude features an elegant arrangement of flowing leaves and flowers designed to fill an A2-sized panel beautifully. The stamp set also has coordinating stencil and die sets.
Keep in mind that STAMPtember collaboration sets are limited edition and won’t be restocked once they sell out!
For a little inspiration, I created a thank you card in a warm yellow-green color palette.
To start, I heat embossed the Grace and Gratitude image in Liquid Platinum, then colored it using the coordinating stencil set with the following Pinkfresh Studio inks:
- Stencil 1: Citron, Sage, Eucalyptus
- Stencil 2: Citron, Eucalyptus, Spruce Tips
- Stencil 3: Spruce Tips
- Stencil 4: Sweet Mustard, Sparkling Rose, Mimosa
- Stencil 5: Clementine, Peony
Once the stenciling was complete, I cut out the image using the coordinating die.
For the background, I created a green ombré effect on a mix-media paper panel using Sunshine, Evergreen and Lush Forest Premium Liquid watercolors. I kept the yellow around the center and gradually deepened the color toward the edges with darker greens.
After the panel was completely dry, I splattered white opaque ink over the darker outer areas. Then, I die cut the panel with the largest die from the Single Stitch Rectangle die set, dry embossed the panel using the Trellis coverplate die, and adhered it to a white cardbase.
Next, I foam mounted the stenciled Grace and Gratitude image onto the card and added a sentiment stamped in Detail Black to the center. Three Matte Metallic Gold Pearls were the finishing touch for my card.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope my project gives you some inspiration for your own STAMPtember creations! Don’t wait too long if you have your eye on this collaboration set! these STAMPtember collab sets sell out quickly.
Happy crafting!
