Simon Says: Anything Goes featuring Hero Arts!

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

This week Simon Says: Anything Goes and we are featuring always Hero Arts 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 started by stencilling my background using the new Stripy Stencil by Hero Arts and the Paper Pouncers by Picket Fence Studios. I loved using these pouncers, so easy and the application is amazing.

I also just received my May card kit so I picked some of the amazing ombre paper from the kit and die cut the Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday sentiment from the same kit and the Simon Says Stamp balloons. I also die cut the sentiment again from matte gold card stock and one balloon. I added the balloons and sentiment to the panel.

To finish off, I added some twine from my stash and some sequins!

I have always loved these bees by Honey Bee Stamps and their Coffee gift card line of dies.  I turned this one into a frap-a-chino for the nicer months! I die cut my elements and stencilled the background of the cup.

I put the cup card base together including the sleeve and set it aside. I die cut my enjoy sentiment and glued it together and then to the sleeve. 

I coloured my bee and cut it out and simply glued the wings and the derriere to the bottom of the sleeve. To finish off a few sequins, some hearts and a secondary sentiment by Whimsy stamps for the cover!

Simon Says: Shaped Cards

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

This week Simon Says: Shaped Cards and we are featuring Mama Elephant 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 don't know why we don't do shaped cards more often, they are such fun to work with! I decided on an oval for my card today because I wanted to feature this amazing Mama Elephant Hi die.

I started by die cutting my paper using an oval from my stash and embossing it using a Simon Says Stamp 3D embossing folder to mimic the flowers I chose to add to the hi.

I put my card base together cutting a little off the bottom of the back panel to help the oval stand.

I die cut my Hi die and added it to the card base using foam tape. I then stamped and coloured my Mama Elephant Cosmos Wreath flowers and leaves and used the accompanying dies.

I added them to the Hi die with the leaves. To finish off, I white embossed the Friend sentiment on black card stock and added it using foam tape as well!
