Simon Says: Anything Goes featuring Pink Fresh Studio!

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 using always beautiful Pink Fresh Studio products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!   Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!      


I do love foiling, this card actually came together very quickly. I foiled my background and my sentiment. I used the accompanying die cut for the sentiment and set everything aside.

I die cut my foliage die with card stock from my stash and cut the stems shorter, glued them together in rainbow order.


Added the foliage to the panel using foam tape and glued my sentiment with a mix of glue and foam tape. To finish off, my favourite Pretty Pink Posh Sequins!

Simon Says Stamp: Cheering For You Release Blog Hop!

 Happy Friday crafty friends! It's time for the 1st day of the Simon Says Stamp Cheering For You release blog hops!


Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from your blog comments. They will choose winners and post on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday the 31st of July!


I used the super sweet Delicate Hummingbird Duo dies for my tag (it is the sweetest bird die) and paired him with the Lily Duo Dies from the last release.  I ink blended my bird in the same colours that I chose for the Lilies.

I die cut my Simon Says Stamp tag die and 3D embossed it, I glued my lilies and cut the excess card stock. I then added my bird. 


I added a simple sentiment from an older Simon Says Stamp, stamp set and added it with foam tape. To finish off, iridescent gems!

Enjoy the hop!

Simon Says: Beautiful Blooms

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

This week Simon Says: Beautiful Blooms and we are using always beautiful Altenew products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!   Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!      


Such a fantastic set of products by Altenew! This was quick and turned out so well, I just find this set beautiful! The layering stencils make this effortless and produces beautiful results.  I went with non-traditional floral colours for my blooms. I used all Pawsitively Saturated Inks by Simon Says Stamp for my blending (all listed below).

I die cut my floral image and die cut my backing panel with an older MFT die from my stash. I choose the Blue Violet card stock to try and match my flower centre for the bottom of my panel.


I gold embossed my sentiment and added all of my elements to the panel cutting the excess from my floral image. To finish off some Lilac Clear drops!

Simon Says: Add Some 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: Add Some Sparkle and we are using always amazing Simon Says Stamp Brand Exclusive products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!   Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!     


I love this new Lily Duo die set by Simon Says Stamp. I die cut a bunch in different colours and decided to make a vase (I don't know why there are no vase dies out there).

I 3D embossed my background panel and then glued the "vase" and added my lilies using a mix of glue and foam tape.


I then stencilled my hugs by Altenew and used the accompanying die set. To finish off some iridescent gems on top of my sugar crystal card stock for double the sparkle!

Simon Says: Let's Get Into Shape!

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

This week Simon Says: Let's Get Into Shape and we are using super fun Art Impressions products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!   Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!    


This Bunny die set is adorable! It pairs with an Art Impressions Gift Card Holder that I don't have in my stash but this worked perfectly for my shape card. I just built a bunny card using the same die pieces for the front and back.


I die cut all of my pieces and glued them with a mix of glue and foam tape. I then die cut my Lawn Fawn patterned paper for the bow and egg ( I think).


To finish off, I added some black and white pen detail! This was very quick to put together. I will more than likely mass produce these for easter!

Simon Says: Stars and/or Stripes

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

This week Simon Says: Starts and/or Stripes and we are using super fun Avery Elle products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!   Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!   


I love the mixed fonts on these sentiments by Avery Elle! This was a fun and quick card to put together, I gold embossed my sentiment and then used stripe stamps from my stash with some Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks. I masked two portions of my sentiment and stamped my rainbow lines.


Once that was done, I used the cute star stamp from the same Avery Elle set and stamped them in black for some nice contrast.
