Simon Says: Thanks/Thanksgiving!

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

This week Simon Says: Thanks/Thanksgiving and we are featuring CZ Design 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 that CZ Design is designing French sentiments! I am awaiting the new Joyeux Noel die by CZ for my holiday cards! I also used fall colours for my ink blend that I don't usually turn to but I am super happy with the way it turned out.

I used this amazing Simon Says Stamp Stems and Leaves stencil with a mix of Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks. I then added some Finetec Gold paint splatters to the background.

I die cut my Merci sentiment with a mix of glitter and gold specialty card stock and decided to add a Simon Says Stamp leaf die to pair with the Merci die.

Simon Says Stamp Festive Fun Release - Blog Hop Day 1!

Happy Friday Crafty Friends! So happy to be a part of the Simon Says Stamp Festive Fun Release Blog Hop for day 1! We’re giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop the blog comment section. Simon Says Stamp will select the winners and post on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday the 13th of November. 

I had such fun playing with some products from this new release! It really is festive! I am so ready for the holiday cheer this year.

I love making gift tags and clearly need many for Christmas. The products I used for these two sets of tags were perfect in scale and easy to mass produce! For the first tag, I used the new Holiday Candies 3x3 stencil.

I ink blended Picked Raspberry and Festive Berries Oxide Ink on my pre-cut Simon Says Stamp Tag, then moved up the stencils to finish off the tag coverage.  I then die cut the Merry Christmas die from Sugar Crystal glitter paper. A Tim Holt Candy on all three and some red twine!

This tag is so fun featuring the new Snowman Cupcake Wafer Die. I die cut my elements for the cupcake snowman and put them together and set them aside to dry. I die cut my tags using an older Simon Says Stamp tag die and used a Simon's Snowflake 3D Embossing folder.

I added my cupcakes to the tag using foam tape and stamped my sentiment on the smaller die from the same tag set by Simon. I added the secondary tag using twine and added a heart to all three! 

See hop order below and have fun! Don't forget to leave a comment on every stop on the hop for a chance to win a $25.00 gift card!

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 This Calls for Confetti 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 started by ink blending a white panel using Distress Inks and then die cut my This Calls for Confetti leaves from the Autumn Artisan Dies. I then lined the sides with my Finetec gold paint and added some gold splatter as well. I set them aside to dry and started work on by 3D embossed background panel.

I sprayed the panel using Hero Arts Unicorn White spray and patted the excess. I gold embossed my Simon Says Stamp sentiments on chocolate brown card stock and used the oval die from the Autumn Artisan die set.

I used foam tape and glued everything to my panel. To finish off, some Coffee Bean candy hearts from my stash!
