So much fun making this one with the amazing large bow die by Simon Says Stamp and my favourite Champagne flutes! Easy card to put together as it's mostly die cuts :)

I just received this paper from the Simon Says Stamp Hugs release and it was perfect for the theme and the dies I picked.

I trimmed my panel and die cut all of my elements put them on the panel with a mix of foam tape (for dimension) and glue. I added some Pink Fresh black candies and some silver pearls.

For my sentiment, I used the Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words Christmas and then finished off with some white gel pen detail.

Simon Says: Ice Cold!

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

This week Simon Says: Ice Cold and we are featuring super fun Avery Elle products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

There is probably nothing that I enjoy making more than Christmas gift tags. This challenge worked out well, I am so behind on my tags this year and these Avery Elle Joy tags will be perfect as one of my sets for this year.

The theme Ice Cold to me was all about cold blue and snowflakes.

I started by die cutting my coloured glitter paper and glueing my word to my tag bases. I knew I wanted to add a snowflake so I die cut the single snowflake from the new Simon Says Stamp Snowflake Hexagon die set and glued it to the back of the tag and added white card stock backing piece. I then used my hole punch and added my twine.

These were quick and fun to make. I ended up making a set of five tags with this. This die set is super fun because you also have the option of a Merry tag and a HoHoHo tag. I will for sure be making more tags using the other two in the set.

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

This week Simon Says: Add Some Sparkle and we are featuring Wow! products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

Come join in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $25 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store!   

I knew I wanted to use my favorite Wow! Clear Hologram embossing powder the sparkle is so pretty with this powder.  I decided to use my Simon Says Stamp Budding Branches dies and do some ink blending using my Distress Inks.

I then added some VersaMark ink to my branches so that I could emboss them with the Hologram Sparkle.

I decided to use the Fir Tree Branches 3D embossing folder for my panel (the embossing folder is from the amazing December card kit) and added a bit of the Distress Foundry Wax in Gilded to the top of the branches.

I die cut my Merry Christmas by Honey Bee Stamps using Tonic red specialty paper.

I added my elements to the panel and to finish off, some Sparkling Clear Sequins and some twine from my stash!

Simon Says Stamp DieCember Blog Hop Day 2!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp DieCember Blog Hop!

I used the amazing new Snowflake Hexagon Wafer Die for my card share today!

I chose this amazing blue holographic paper for my main panel and took pictures in different light for you to see the amazing colors your get with this paper.  

I die cut my panel and die cut a second time using Sugar Crystal glitter paper and did my die-cut inlay using the Sugar Crystal Snowflake Hexagon die piece.

I die cut a few of the solo snowflake from the same set from blue glitter card stock and added them to the panel. I also used my favourite Joy die and die cut it from both the blue glitter and the sugar crystal glitter paper, glued them together  and added it to the panel.

I backed my panel using the Sugar Crystal once again and added everything to my card base. To finish off some snowflake sequins! Hop order listed below :)

Simon Says: Anything Goes with Honey Bee Stamps!

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

I ordered these adorable Merry Little Mice by Honey Bee last year at the end of the season and had not had the chance to ink them up, so I thought they were perfect for this weeks challenge! I chose my images, coloured them with COPIC markers and used the accompanying die cuts.

I also wanted to use this Honey Bee hot foil plate with some of my red foil. Once that was done I used the second largest Deckle Edge die and added some Salty Ocean Distress Ink to the side of the panel. I then added my images using foam tape.

I used the larger Deckle Edge die to die cut my background panel from this gorgeous Simon Says Stamp red holographic card stock and added everything to my card base.

I used the Joy die also by Honey Bee Stamps added it to my panel. I then finished off with these super fun Pink Fresh Studio Glitter Drops in Ruby, some white gel pen detail and a candy heart on my solo envelope.

I love making gift tags, especially ones for Christmas gifts! I just has to use the Mistletoe die by Memory Box, the scale was just perfect.  I decided to pair it with some Memory Box Glitter paper.

To begin, I used my new Tim Holtz Mica Spray on some Neena Solar White and let it properly dry then die cut my leaves.

I picked this Modascrap die and die cut my tags. Then die cut my mistletoe berries and the bow and put my tags together using a mix of foam tape and glue.

I decided to use my favourite Tiny Words Christmas clear stamps by Simon Says Stamp, I love these tiny sentiments for tags. I added some twine from my stash and some candy hearts to finish off.

Simon Says: Stencil It!

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

This week Simon Says: Stencil It 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 in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $25 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store! 

I was so anxious to try my new Tim Holtz Holiday Mica Sprays to see how they reacted by spraying with s Stencil.  Using the stencil adhesive really helped to contain leaking and I was super happy with the effects it gives so shimmery. I used Distress Watercolor card stock for added texture.

Once my panel was dry, I decided to add some red twine from my stash as I did stain my panel on the seam just a little bit and the twine was a quick fix. I then added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins over my stained "berries".

To finish off, I used this new Modascrap sentiment which fit perfectly in the space left by the wreath!
