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 Party Time Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

We would like to take a moment to wish you all a Very Happy New Year! Thank you all so much for joining in with the challenges throughout 2018 and we are looking forward to seeing what crafty delights 2019 bring!

This week the challenge is

Anything Goes 

We are showcasing Stampendous 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 are my cards for this week. I used Greetings Galore set from Stampendous. I had made these two holiday cards before Christmas, and I hope they make sense even though Christmas is literally over :) 

Other than Stampendous stamp set, all supplies used are from Simon Says Stamp.

To begin, I stamped Santa from Christmas Cheer set which was included in the Simon December Card Kit on Watercolor paper using  Sepia ink. I watetcolored the image using my Zig Clean Brush Makrkers.  I then diecut the panel using Postage Stamp Edge Frame Die. 

Next, I stamped holly berry postage stamp image and snowflakes from the same stamp set and I drew lines to make my panel look like a real post card. Instead of writing messages, I stamped my greetings using Greetings Galore set . Then I inked edges a little with Tea Dye ink. I really wanted to put this post card in a mail box, but I had to foam mount it onto Schoolhouse Red Card Base, lols. 

Oh, the letter "Post card" was from Tim Holtz Postcards set. Finallyn I added a little sparkle using Stickles Diamond and a twine bow using Rustic Wedding twine from Crafter's Companion. I love that the Greetings Galore set has lots of useful sentiments that can be used for all occasions through the whole year and I love their fonts, too. This set is highly recommendable. 

I used similar items for my second card.

The blue snowflake pattern paper is from Simon Kit, which you can get separately from Carta Bella Santa's Workshop 6×6. I embellished this card using white ribbon and Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix.

That's it from me for today.Which one do you prefer ? 

So now it’s YOUR turn.

Merry Christmas! & Christmas Card featuring Pretty Pink Posh

Merry Christmas, friends! 

Thank you for all your support, friendship and beautiful inspiration. 

It's been a great year to have spent time with you, I really appreciate. 

Here's a fun Christmas card I made thinkg of you. 

I colored images from Penguin Pals, and Caroling Critters using my copic markers. Background panel was made by ink blending of Bristol paper using some Altenew Dye Inks. I then cut a window using Tree Shaker Dies. 

A piece of white paper from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Christmas 6×6 was used for shaker background. I put various Pretty Pink Posh Sequins into the shaker : Share Kindness Mix, Mermaid mix, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, and Blush Seed Beads. 

I adhered my images using glue and foam tapes, and added snows using a white gel pen. As a final touch, I embellished my card with Ocean Spray, Pink Ballerina, and 3mm Sparkling Clear sequins. 

The colors I used are as follows.

Ink : Emerald, Mountain Mist, Desert Night, Cosmic Berry, Rouge, Blush from Altenew.

Copic : C9-C7-C5 & W1-W0-W00 (penguins) , E09-E08-R05-R02 (Fox) , R20-R30 (cheeks), E29-R39-R29-R17-R14 (red), YG99-YG97-YG95-YG93 (Olive Green) 

Thanks for your visiting, my friends. 

May all your wishes come true in this holiday season.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Party Time

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

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

This week the challenge is

Party Time

It's time to put on your glad rags and party!!

We are showcasing  Your Next Stamp 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 on which I used Rainbow Sparkle Gumdrops and Watermelon Party Gumdrops. I made a birthday party card because it was really my birthday when I made this. I made it just for me celebrating my own :) Hope you will like it, too. 

For the background, I did stencil using Celebrate Stencil and distress inks and Detail Blending Tools  then I diecut the panel using Wonky Rectangles Dies. 

I colored candles from Birthday Borders Stamp set using my Copic markers and diecut the image with Birthday Borders Coordinating Dies.

Sentiment from the same set was heat embossed in white using Fine Detail White Embossing Powder, which I found is super fine to be used in small and/or thin sentiment and highly recommendable. 

I foam mounted candles and sentiment on the panel then I foam mounted the panel onto the Schoolhouse Red Card base. 

I then embellished my card using Rainbow Sparkle Gumdrops ,  Watermelon Party Gumdrops and May Arts Ivory Twine.  I really love fun colors and sparkles of these gum drops from Your Next Stamp. 

So now it’s YOUR turn.

Pretty Pink Posh Angel Friends Card

Hi, friends! 

Today, I'm going to share a Christmas Card featuring some old and new products from Pretty Pink Posh. 

I stamped Angel Friends on 80lb Neenah White paper using Memento Black Ink then I colored the images using my copic markers. For the banner, I stamped the image and sentiment on red card stock with clear embossing ink then I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I then cut them all using Angel Friends Coordinating Dies. 

For background, I ink blended a piece of Bristol paper using Distress Inks : Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, and Twisted Citron, then I splattered water onto it.  I pulled out Holiday Greetings set to pick two pieces of snowflakes and stamped them all over the panel using various colors of dye inks.  I diecut Tree Shaker Die out of heavy weight watercolor paper twice then glued them top on op using Multi medium matte. 

I adhered all the elements on my colored panel as in the picture, then I embellished my card using 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins. 

Thanks for your visiting and reading this post.

Hope you will have a great day !

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Christmas

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

Christmas

Christmas will soon be here so lets try to get everything we need to make covered this week!

We are showcasing Creative Expressions 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!

Here's my card for this week. I used Angelina's Christmas Stocking Stamp set from Creative Expressions. 

I started by stamping Angelina's Christmas Stocking onto 140lb Cold Press Watercolor paper using Versafine Sepia Ink. I watercolored the images using my Zig Clean Brush Markers. 

Next, I diecut another card stock by using Simon Holly Oval Framr Die, and then run it through again in Tim Holtz Lumber 3D Texture Fades embossing folder to give the front cover woodgrain texture.

 I put this window frame panel onto my colored piece using foam tapes. Then I added sentiment from Winter Scene, which was heat embossed in white on Schoolhouse Red Card Stock. Finally, I adhered the panel onto 100 Neenah Desert Storm Card base and finished off my card by adding some Sparkling Clear Sequins. 

Here's another card I made using the same Stocking Stamp set, in which I used Midnight Green Cardstock and a few colored sequins for to give some color variation. 

So now it’s YOUR turn.
