Simon Says Stamp New Release - Fun And Festive

Hi, friends!

It's finally a time for Simon Says Stamp's New Release Fun and Festive Collection.

How exciting it is!

As always, there are so many awesome products in the release , and I'm going to share my cards featuring some of them with you, today.

 I used Christmas Wishes and Winter Scene Stamp sets from the new release.

For my first card, I cut two pieces of A2 sized panel  using Neenah Texture White Card Stock on which I like their elegant dry-embossed  texture. 

Next , I diecut an oval window in one panel using Holly Oval Frame Dies and I added some colors to the window borders using copic markers. I then trimmed the panel using Wonky Rectangles dies. 

For the background panel, I stamped large sentiments block from Christmas Wishes set on it with Versafine Onyx Black Ink with a guide of the front panel in positioning stamp on my mini-MISTI tool. Then I trimmed panel into a little smaller than the front panel. 

Next, I assembled the two panels using foam ahesives to give it some dimensional look , and then I adhered it to  a card base I made using SSS Peacock Teal Card stock.

To embellish the card I added colored pieces from Winter Scene set, which I had colored using copic markers and then cut using my SCAN N CUT machine. You can also use Winter Scene Coordinating Dies for this.

In addition, I added small star diecut from Crimson Glitter Card Stock on top of the sentiment, sparkling touch to the leaves and berries using Stickes Diamond, and Metallic Gold Sequins 6mm & 4mm.  

My secon card was also made in a similar way with the first one. This time, I used Forest Collage Dies & Wonky Rectangles dies for the front panel, and Neenah Texture Red Card Stock  as a card base. 

FYI, copic marker colors I used for both cards are E40-E41-E42-E43 (window borders), G29-G24-G21-G20 ( leaves & trees), R46 (berries), E31~E37 (deer), E21~E27 (deer) , R39-R27-R14 (house), E18-E37-E35-E33-E31-E30 (roof).

I love how the Christmas Wishes Stamp set can be used in various ways and I just adore those cute images from Winter Scene Stamp set. You will see so many gorgeous cards using these two as well as other Fun and Festive products by card designers out there.

That's it from me for today. Hope you enjoyed it. I'll be back soon with more new cards so please be sure to visit on another day :) 

Thank you!

Pretty Pink Posh - Fall Scene Card

Hi, crafty friends!

Hope you are having a wonderful day, now.

I'm sharing a card with a lovely fall scene which I made using some of new Pretty Pink Posh products. 

I used masking technique to create a scene on a piece of 80lb Neenah White paper, using Fall Scene , and Pumpkin Patch Critters set , then I colored the images using copic markers.

For the background, I used big brushes to lightly color the empty space with distress oxide inks (Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, and Tattered Rose).

Then I splattered with water, gold and white pearl metallic paints. 

Sentiment was stamed using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

After I adhered the panel onto a cardbase, I finished off the card by adding some Sparkling Clear Sequins.

The critters from Fall Scene , and Pumpkin Patch Critters  sets are so adorable that I enjoyed coloring them so much. 

That's it from me, today.

Thanks for your stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Let's Get Ready For Christmas

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

This week the challenge is

Lets Get Ready For Christmas 

We are showcasing Clearly Besotted Productsthis 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 Be Merry Stamp set from Clearly Besotted.

I started by stamping the wreath and ribbon from Be Merry Stamp set on 80lb Neenah White paper and diecutting them using Be Merry Coordinating Dies. Since the wreath was a little small, I thought I would hang it onto a door or window things. So here's how I did.

 I took out a piece of Neenah Texture White Paper and diecut it using Stitched Notes Dies. I then cut out two windows using Simon's Window Panes Dies. Sentiments were chosen from Stained Glass Greetings set and small sentiment was heat embossed using Super Fine White Embossing Powder. The background panel behind the white windows was ink blended usng Distress Oxide inks (Worn Lipstick and Cracked Pistachio).

After I foam mounted the window panel onto the ink blended panel, I adhered Be Merry  Wreath and ribbon on the top, then I placed them on a piece of plaid pattern paper and then on a card base made of School House Red Card Stock.

As a final embellishment , I glued some Metallic Gold Jewels. 

So now it’s YOUR turn. 
 Happy Crafting
