Simon Says Stamp Tim Holtz stamps + Simon Says Stamp coordinating dies Blog Hop
Thrilled to be joining Simon Says Stamp today to celebrate their release of coordinating dies for even more of your favorite Tim Holtz stamp sets. This release includes dies for:
Field Notes
Correspondence
The Inspector
The Professor Suite (for the Professor and Professor 2 stamp sets)
Today, I have created a fun card with my favorite of the stamp and die sets, The Inspector. I love this one so much, especially that the dies cut out his glasses/goggles. I turned my inspector today into a fun Valentine card.
I stamped a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock with the Seasonal Catalog 2 background with different colors of Distress Oxides. Then I added the same color of Distress Embossing Glaze and heat embossed it. Once it was dry I sprayed it with Antique Linen Distress Spray Stain then stitched around my panel. I added some hearts and then stamped and cut The Inspector twice. I colored in the first one and the second one I cut out just the glasses, colored them and embossed them with Candied Apple Distress Embossing Glaze. I added some pink colored vellum for the “lenses”.
To finish my card, I stamped and colored some labels that I had made for a previous project using the Field Notes stamps + dies. And finally I added a tiny embossing glaze heart to The Inspector’s jacket. Be sure to hop around to see all the other great inspiration with these new dies!

Hi, Cheiron –
Those glasses ARE everything, I agree! I love the colors you used and how you made this into a Valentine’s Day card. So clever!
