Simon Says: Party time!

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

This week Simon Says: Party Time and we are featuring always amazing Honey Bee Stamps products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!   

The Party Time theme from me = New Years Eve! So I made this New Year's card and I love the way it turned out.  I started by cutting some of this amazing Italian Rose specialty card stock by Tonic (the color is beautiful) I embossed my A2 panel using the new Simon Says Stamp snowflake embossing folder and set it aside.

I then took some more of the same card stock and embossed my Honey Bee snowflakes using gold glitter embossing powder, I then used the accompanying dies.

I glued them to the panel using foam tape and cut the excess snowflakes using my precision scissors.  I white embossed my Spellbinders sentiments on the same paper and used the die for the Wishing You and my Gina K. banner dies for the secondary sentiment.

I added the sentiments to the panel using a mix of foam tape and glue. To finish off, my new gorgeous Pink Fresh Studio champagne gems on the centres of the snowflakes and a few on the panel.

Simon Says: Make It Sparkle!

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

This week Simon Says: Make It Sparkle and we are featuring always super fun Colorado Crafts Company products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!   

Such a fun stamp set, I so enjoyed making this one. These little critters are adorable! I started by ink blending my background panel using Evergreen Bough Distress Ink (I make at least one Christmas card annually using this color of Distress Ink, I just love it.) and then using my Snow Stencil by Simon Says Stamp first with White Pigment Ink and then over that using Tonic Moonstone Glimmer Paste. 

I outlined my snow hill using grey Copic Markers and then added some Prism Glitter. I set the panel aside to dry while I worked on my critters.

I stamped and colored my images using Copic markers and used the accompanying dies. I added some white Gell pen detail. Once my panel was dry, I stamped my sentiment added my cute critters and some clay hearts.

I added the panel to my card and added two stripes of Candy Cane paper from my stash, I felt the card needed a little more red!

Simon Says: Thinking of You!

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

This week Simon Says: Thinking of You and we are featuring Birch Press Design products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!   

It's Remembrance Day in Canada on November 11, and I felt like turning this beautiful Birch Press Cosmos Die into a Poppy to underline the importance of the week leading to the day. I am so happy with the way this turned out, aside from Christmas I don't use that much red on my cards.

I die (die has two different petals) cut my flower (twice, which gave me four different petal pieces) and added some Aged Mahogany Distress Ink to give the petals some depth.  I then took my favourite Whimsy Stamps double rectangle die (I use this die all the time) and die cut it from Black Glitter card stock.

I then took this Hero Arts stencil and ink blended a select area on my background panel in red. I glued my black frame to the panel and then my flower using foam tape.

For my sentiments, I used Spellbinders Wonderful Script Sentiments for the You die and the Everyday Sentiments 2 Glimmer Plates. To finish off, some Pink Fresh Studio Ruby gems.
