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

Anything Goes 

We are showcasing Hero Arts 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 to a lucky winner.

Here is my card for the challenge inspiration. I used Birthday Message Stamp set from Hero Arts.

I started by stamping Beautiful Flowers 2 Stamp set on a piece of 300g Cold Pressed Watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I then watercolored the panel using my Daniel Smith Watercolor paints , adding splatters of dark ink and white acrylic ink. 

After the panel was dry, I trimmed it into 4.125 × 5.375 inch, then I stamped big sentiments from Birthday Messages set on the center.

I foam mounted the panel onto a card base and I finished off the card by adding Metallic Rose Gold Jewels and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

So now it’s YOUR turn.

[Simon Says Stamp ] Christmas Background Card -STAMPtember

Hello, friends !

Holiday season is still far to come , but I have a simple christmas card with copic colored background to share with you, today.

It features the brand new Center Cut Holiday Icons Cling Stamp from Simon Says Stamp  STAMPtember Release.

The images are so cute and very fun to color. I bought it at the first sight when the STAMPtember® was released!

To begin, I stamped Center Cut Holiday Icons  on A2 sized 120lb White Card Stock using Memento Black Ink. I then colored the images using my copic markers.

NOEL was cut from Peacock Teal Card Stock & Gold Glitter Card Stock using Christmas Icons Dies. I placed a scalloped circle vellum diecut on my panel then I foam mounted NOEL on it. 

Finally, I adhered the panel on a card base I had made using CREAM Card Stock.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Bling It On

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

This week the challenge is to add some bling ie, glitter, gems etc to your creations!

Bling It On

We are showcasing Studio Katia 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 to a lucky winner. 

Here are my cards for the challenge inspiration :). I used Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Dies from Studio Katia. 

To bein the first card, I cut a piece of Bristol Paper with 4.25×5.5inch, ink blended it with Distress Oxide Inks : Abandoned Coral, Worn Lipstick, Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber and Ripe Persimmon. Next I diecut the panel with Dotted Frames Dies .

I pulled out a piece of A2 size white cardstock, and placed previous diecut frames on it to make sure that they are in right position, then I adhered the center panel as it is.

In turn, I stamped a sentiment from Birthday Borders using Versafine Onyx Black Ink, then I placed sequins, jewels and Seed beads on the center panel. To assemble a shaker, I adhered an acetate film on the back of outer frame, then I foam mounted it over the center panel carefully.

Shaker elements I used are Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix, Ballerina Pink, Strawberry Burst, Raspberry, Marigold, Ivory Jewel, and Seed Beads (Sparkling Clear, Gold Shimmer, Blush, Cotton Candy, Rose Pink) .

I stamped a bundle of candles from Birthday Borders on 80lb Neenah White, colored it using copic markers and cut it using Birthday Borders Dies.

Finally, I foam mounted candles diecut onto the shaker window and adhered a silver ribbon diecut made of Simon Silver Glitter Card Stock.

My second card was made in Clean and Simple design. I cut Neenah Texture White paper using the same Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Dies, then I adhered the two diecuts with dimension. I love the elegant  texture surface of Neenah Texture paper set, which I can't capture 100% on my photo.

I added the same image and sentiment from Birthday Borders set, and the ribbon diecut was made of Simon Gold Glitter Card Stock. To keep our challenge theme Bling It On, I added some Metallic Gold Jewels here and there.

Which one is your favorite? :)

So now it’s YOUR turn.
