Simon Says: Happy Birthday!

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! We are celebrating the Wednesday Challenge’s 16th birthday!

This week Simon Says: Happy Birthday and we are featuring Simon Says Stamp Brand Exclusive Products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $50.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!   

These two products were a natural pairing, I love confetti. I ink blended my panel using my Simon Says Stamp Confetti stencil with rainbow colours and set it aside to work on my sentiment.

I die cut the sentiment from black card stock and black fun foam and glued it together. I also die cut the sentiment from gold specialty card stock.

I glued my sentiment to the panel and then glued the gold confetti from the second die that I cut. I also added some clay confetti in rainbow colours and finished with white gel pen detail on the black sentiment!

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

I ordered this amazing set by Pink Fresh for the holidays but the Canada Post strike made it that it was delivered in late January. I could not resist inking this one up! I love pink for a holiday card so I went with that for my berries and background :)

I started by stamping and embossing my image, I used the accompanying stencils for this amazing tree by Pink Fresh. I ink blended using Distress Inks and die cut the image. I ink blended my large polka dots stencil on the background panel and then added my tree using foam tape.  

I white embossed my sentiment and used the accompanying die then added it with foam tape. To finish off, some Blush clear drops by Pink Fresh for my embellishments! Bonus, I am ahead on my Christmas cards!

I LOVE St-Patricks's Day! It's my favourite day of the year! I am half Irish so we celebrate annually and it is my end of winter marker! Best day of the year! I love making an annual Irish inspired card to underline the day.  I used the super sweet Mama Elephant Little Elephant Agenda set for this one. What is luckier than offering an elephant!

I started by stamping and colouring my elephants and die cut them. I get them aside to ink blend my cloud background using Distress Inks.  I die cut my Pretty Pink Posh Shamrocks and Lucky dies.

I added my Shamrocks first using a mix of glue and foam tape then my sentiment and then placed my elephants! To finish off, some white gel pen detail and my favourite Iridescent gems!

Simon Says: It's A Stitch Up!

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: It's A Stitch Up and we are featuring Tim Holtz products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store! 

This card was so fun to make, it really has a spring vibe and that makes me happy. I ink blended my Tim Holtz stencil and then for my "Stitch Up", I used an older MFT stitched border die. I set the panel aside to work on my florals from the Tim Holtz Funky Floral Wreath die set.

I die cut my Hello from black card stock and Sugar Crystal glitter paper and glued it to the panel to act as the anchor from my flowers.

I glued my florals using a mix of foam tape and glue to the top of the Hello die and added some bling. To finish off, I added the panel to my card base using foam tape!

Simon Says: Anything Goes!

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Anything Goes and we are featuring Penny Black products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!

Once in a while I really like to do a more "artsy" card. I just love this stamp set by Penny Black, I am kind of obsessed with leaves. I started by ink blending the strip on my panel and then stamping the leaves on top. I was going to leave it black but why do that when you can use your matching FineTec paints!

Just to add more, I decided on splatters! Same paint set but added the gold with the matching leaf colours. I set the panel aside to dry.

I die cut my Simon Says Stamp Miss You dies using glitter paper (I have an obsession with glitter paper). Once the panel was dry, I went over my image with my black pen. Added the sentiment using foam tape and to finish off, my favourite iridescent gems!
