Simon Says: Anything Goes featuring Waffle Flower!

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 Waffle Flower 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! 


Had fun with this one, I started with my Folk Art Flower Dies by Waffle Flower and decided to pair that with my new Simon Says Stamp layering plaid stencils. Once I ink blended my plaid background, I decided to go with Sugar Crystal White Glitter paper and some gold for my die cuts.


I die cut all of my elements and glued them together then chose this large Friend die also by Waffle Flower and added my dies to the panel! I finished off with some white candy hearts!

Simon Says: Make Your Own Background!

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 Your Own Background and we are featuring always amazing Spellbinders 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! 


There is something so satisfying about taking a piece of card stock (in this case a light lavender) and making it fun! I ink blended this panel with Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress Inks and then sprayed the panel with Hero Arts white spray and glitter spray from my stash. I set the panel aside to dry to work on my die cut elements,


I die cut everything from a few Spellbinders sets mostly from glitter card stocks and I used my BetterPress for the sentiment. Once my panel was dry, I 3D embossed it with this Spellbinders polka dot folder.  I then added all of my elements to the panel! I love making Halloween cards :)

Simon Says: Four Legged Friends!

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

This week Simon Says: Four Legged Friends and we are featuring always super fun Mama Elephant 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 is a mix of older Mama Elephant stamps and I do love the Mama Elephant, Elephants! I started by coloring my images with my COPIC markers and used the accompanying dies. I added some dot detail and white gel pen to my images and set them aside while I worked on my panel.


I ink blended my background using Distress Ink and one of my cloud stencils, I do love using Shaded Lilac for clouds. I stamped my sentiment on the panel and then added my images using foam tape.

To finish off, some Pink Fresh Iridescent drops!

Simon Says: Stamp 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: Stamp It in honour of STAMPtember and we are featuring always amazing Simon Says Stamp 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 used the super fun new Christmas Block Art clear stamp set for my tags. I love a good snowflake so I had to use this stamp. I didn't have the dies but fussy cutting was easy with the clean lines of the image.

I used Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated ink and then embossed with some glittery embossing powder. I die cut my tags also by Simon Says Stamp and added some snow using tonic glitter paste over a Simon's stencil.


I used one of the sentiments from the same set and white embossed it onto red card stock and added them to the snowflake using foam tape. I used twine from my stash and to finish off, red drops by Pink Fresh Studio.

Happy 15th STAMPtember!

 Happy 15th STAMPtember! Time to celebrate with a blog party!


I always look forward to STAMPtember, and this is 15! Can you believe it? So many amazing products in this release and the inspiration from Simon's designers is amazing!


I love Simon Says Stamp layering stencils and this large leaf is amazing! I decided to use Distress Oxides on Kraft in red/pink fall colours. I then embosses the sides of my panel with Gold embossing powder I added some COPIC white paint as highlights to the Leaf and splatters on the panel.


Once everything was dry, I added the new Thanks die and finished off with some Champagne drops by Pink Fresh Studio!
