Such sweet mice in the Giving Hearts Stamp set by Gina K. Designs! I started by stamping and colouring my mouse using my COPIC markers and then fussy cut my image and set it aside.

I used a Simon Says Stamp Snow 3D embossing folder for my panel and then stamped my sentiment from the same Gina K. stamp set.


I glued my panel to me card base using fun foam fro dimension and added my image using foam tape. To finish off, some red candy hearts from my stash!

Simon Says: Christmas!

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

This week Simon Says: Christmas and we are featuring always super fun Pink & Main 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!   


If you follow my blog and accounts, you will know without a doubt that I adore making gift tags.  These sweet penguins from the Pink & Main Cup of Good Cheer clear stamp set are so perfect for tags! These were so fun to make. I coloured my images with COPICS and fussy cut them, I didn't order dies because the lines are simple enough to fussy cut.

I paired these cuties with a Lawn Fawn round stitched tag and snowflake. I die cute my coloured card stock and ink blended some darker colours. Once dry, I added some Unicorn Spray by Hero Arts.


While my tags were drying I stamped and die cut my sentiments and the candy cane tag. I glued my elements with a mix of Lawn Fawn glue and foam tape. I cut some twine from my stash and added my sentiments!

Simon Says: Halloween/Spooky

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

This week Simon Says: Halloween/Spooky and we are featuring 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 Halloween crafts! I don't give cards but I do make chocolate gift bags for kids of family and friends so, I of course, had to make tags. I am obsessed with this Halloween Treats stamp set, so I made a set of four.

I stamped and coloured my images using my COPIC markers and used the accompanying die cuts. I then die cut my tags from Neena white and some Doodlebug patterned papers. I added some Doodlebug Washi tape to the bottom.


I used foam tape for my images and added them to the tags. I stamped the Boo from the same stamp set and used the die and added them with foam tape as well. To finish off some super fun This Calls for Confetti Creepy Sequin and Clay Confetti mix and some black striped twine from my stash!

Simon Says: Add Some Texture

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 Texture and we are featuring Paper Rose 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!  


Such a fun a simple card to put together, testament to the products quality! This took maybe 10 minutes once I picked my paper. I trimmed my background paper by Paper Rose Studio to an A2 size and added it to a card base. I then die cut this large scale die set also by Paper Rose Studio with a mix of specialty card stock.  I glued the layers together and added them to the base using foam tape for added dimension.


To finish off and add some texture, I added some chunky glitter to mimic snow to the large Merry sentiment!

Simon Says: Things With Wings

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

This week Simon Says: Things With Wings 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! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store! 


So I have been wanting to use these bells by Honey Bee for two years, this was the week, lol. I die cut my elements using a mix of specialty card stock and glued them together. I used a Simon Says Stamp 3D embossing folder for my background panel and slim frame for the green inlay.

I put my panel together on my card base and added my bells.


I then die cut an older Honey Bee Noel die (I am half French Canadian and most of my family is unilingual French, I use this a lot). I then coloured a Simon Says Stamp bird for my Things With Wings. I cured a bird landing on church bells, lol! Go check out the Challenge!
