Simon Says: Get In Shape!

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

This week Simon Says: Get In shape and we are featuring 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!   



I ordered some of the newer Altenew card stocks and figured it was as good a time to feature it. It is 80lbs, a little lighter than I like but the texture is fantastic and the colours are so fun to work with. I die cut my panels and used a Spellbinders Embossing folder scored my backing piece and glued them together. I ink blended to top panel using some purple ink to mimic my flowers.


I added my gold frame on top of the panel and die cut my elements for the florals. I ink blended the flowers and the leaves. I added the gold centres and finished them off with gold gems. I glued my flowers to the panel. I used the same purple ink for my sentiment and added it to my panel. To finish off, the same gold gems scattered on the panel.

Simon Says: Something New!

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

This week Simon Says: Something New and we are featuring always amazing Whimsy 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!   



I had not used my colour pencils in so long! I had fun colouring this, I adore Kraft and coloured pencils :)

I started by using my Simon Says Stamp Outline Hearts Stencil from the newest To Love release with White Unicorn Ink and set the panel aside to dry. I then stamped my image and coloured in my dog with my Faber Castetell Polychromos pencils.


I die cut my Whimsy Stamps Heart and lined up my stamp, stamped it again (I fussy cut the coloured one and wanted to stamp it for the Balloon Strings.

I then glued my heart down and added my images using Foam tape. To finish off, I stamped my sentiment to the top of the panel.
