Cardmaking with Simon Says Stamp Color Blends
Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! Have you used Simon Says Stamp Color Blends Cardstock yet? Several different packs are available with various blends for all sorts of cards. This paper boasts a gleaming glossy finish, and a silky smooth surface suitable for die cutting, foiling, and heat embossing. The card I’m sharing today mostly uses the Color Blends Bold Brights pack and a bit of regular back cardstock for a sentiment.

    I’m going trough the decluttering process of my craft studio because I’m moving to Europe, so I can take 90% of my belongings (I mean everything, craft supplies, clothes, shoes and personal belongings). It is such and exhausting process, physically and mentally. Thanks for making this videos, this way I feel I’m not alone and I’m not the only one that goes through this challenging moments.

    Great episode! For 20 years I worked for an office product manufacturer that made mostly paper related products. I was fortunate enough to get the chance to visit two paper mills. One was in Minnesota and the other in Oregon. It was fascinating to watch the process from wood logs to huge rolls of paper, taller than me.

    Thanks for doing this series! I’m lucky enough to be able to spend the winters in the warm California desert and summers in Pacific NW. Two VERY different environments for paper crafting. In the damp north - top folding cards just don’t work unless both front & inside panels are reinforced with another panel of cardstock essentially making the paper close to 200 lb equivalent. In the desert 80 lb card holds up just fine.
