Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Anything Goes

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Have A Heart Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Anything Goes

We are showcasing Impression Obsession Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! 

Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your crafty makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!

Here's my card for which I used Layered Heart Frame Die.

I did in-laid diecut techniuqe using Layered Heart Frame Die and scraps . 

Then I added small sentiment from Floral Hearts Set on the left lower corner.

I tried to make a light-up card for the first time and here's a very simple circuit I made using copper tape, small light and a battery. 

I then foam mounted my panel onto this circuit. 

You can see a light glowing behind the grid piece on the right upper coner.  

And here's a video showing how the light turns on and off. When you press the small sentiment part, the light turns on.  I wish I added another light to the circuit, but this was my first time trying anyway :) 

Even without light or circuit, I think this frame die would make good Valentine themed cards for itself. Besides, it gives a perfect opprtunity to use up of your scrap papers.  I really love this Die! 

So now it’s YOUR turn.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Have a Heart

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the CAS Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Have a Heart 

We are showcasing My favorite Things Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your crafty makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!

Here's my card for the challenge inspiration. I used So Much Love Stamp and other MFT products.

I stamped cute girls from So Much Love and Blowing Kisses in brown ink and colored them lightly using Copic Markers.
I used G24-G21-G20 for green and E95-E93-YR000 for coral dress.  I then cut them using So Much Coordinating Die and Blowing Kiss Coordinating Die.

I made a spring & Valentime themed background using Reverse Hearts Stencil and Grassy Edges Dies from Simon Says Stamp. I used a few MFT dye inks for coloring them, but I think you can use any soft tone colors of inks you have in your stash. I diecut my panel using Mod Rectangle Die.

To give more visual interests to my scene, I added a Garden Gate diecut because I found  the gate had a heart shape and it would look perfect on my grassy scene.  I also added some cute spring animals from  Spring Friends set  and completed my scene.

A sentiment from Blowing Kisses was heat embossed in white on Schoolhouse Red Card stock using White Embossing Powder Fine Detail. I then cut it into a banner using Fishtail Sentiment Strips Dies. I chose light yellow pattern paper from Pastel Tiny Hearts 6×6 for bottom background, and I adhered some sequins as a final embellishment. 

So now it’s YOUR turn.

[Simon Says Stamp] January 2019 Card Kit inspiration

Hi, friends!

Today, I'm going to share a card featuring Simon Says Stamp January 2019 card kit.

I had already shared two cards in last  week's post, and here's another one. 

I diecut a piece of blue paper from the kit, which is Celebrate Winter 6×6, using Wonky Rectangles Dies.Then I diecut a smaller Wonky Rectangle out of red heart pattern paper (Knit Picky 6×6).  I also diecut a tag using Stitched Dress up Tag and scraps. 

Next, I adhered each layer giving some dimension, then I foam mounted snowman and penguim from Snow Much Stamp set. A sentiment from Floral Hearts set was heat embossed in white using Fine Embossing Powder. Finally, I embellished my card with pom poms included in the kit, 3mm sparkling clear sequins, and ribbon. 

Copic Marker No : BG09-BG07-BG05, Y38-Y35-Y15, W3-W1-W0-W00, C3-C1-C0, R46-R29-R14

Thanks for reading this post.

Hope you enjoyed it :)

Have a great day!

Simon Says Stamp You Are Loved Blog Hop

Hi, All ! Welcome to Day 1 of Blog Hop for Simon Says Stamp's You Are Loved Collection. I'm so honored to be part of the blog hop, today. If you have come here from  talented  Heather's Blog, then you are on the right path. Or, you can start your hops from Simon Says Stamp Blog. 

Today, I'm going to share 3 sets of cards featuring You Are Loved. Here's the first set. 

I started by stamping Quilted Hearts on Cotton Candy Card Stock using Embossing ink, then I heat embossed it using White Embossing Powder Fine Detail. I then trimmed the panel into A2 size,  cut out a heart shape window in the center using Ornate Love Dies.

Next, I made a card base using 110 Neenah White, placed it onto my MISTI, then I stamped Love Messages  making sure that the sentimens would be placed exactly within the heart window. I used previous heart panel as a guiding tool to place sentiments.

In turn, I foam mounted Quilted Hearts panel onto the card base, and embellished my card using ribbon and gemstone.

I made a twin card with same design but different color scheme, for which I used Neenah Texture Navy Card stock instead of pink paper.

♡

Here's the second set which features Moments of Grace set. I love those heartwarming and encourating words included in this stamp set.

I used Beautiful Flowers to make watercolored panel and I colored the images using Watercolor Brush Markers. Then I added splatters of White Acrylic ink over the colored images. I stamped sentimets from Moments of Grace set using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Then I foam mounted panels to A2-card base and finished off my cards by adhering Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and Ballerina Pink Sequins.

Today's last set features  Windows To My Heart Dies set. As a huge fan of shaker cards, I couldn't resist to make them at the first moment I saw thus set. 

For this white card, I used rainbow gradiation of Jewels ( Blush, WaterMelon, Lemon Drop, Aquamarine, Spring Green, and Pansy Purple). 

For coral one, I gave color gradiation from clear to light pink/gold and deep pink/red. I put 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins, Clear Seed Beads, Gold Shimmer Beads, Ballerina Pink and Raspberry sequins into the shakers.

Sentiment from  Love Messages was  heat embossed in white on Schoolhouse Red Cardstock using White Embossing Powder Fine Detail.

That's it from me for today. Thank you so much for your visiting and reading my post.
