Simon Says: Thank 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: Thank You and we are featuring Doodlebug 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 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  

Who doesn't love Doodlebug products! So much fun! For my first card, I did a fall themed thank you card with my leaves and side panel made from Doodlebug patterned paper. I paired my leaves with a Simon Says Stamp Thanks wafer die set.

I added some ink blending on the panel and some paint splatters I lined up my leaves and the sentiment on top. To finish off, some brown candy/clay hearts.

I love these Doodlebug Butterflies, so I decided to make a second card with the prompt for these dies. I used some patterned paper for my side panel and the same die cut top panel with some ink blending. I picked a different Simon Says Stamp Thanks die. Used three different papers for the Butterfly then added it using foam tape. To finish off, some clear drops!

Simon Says Stamp and Everything Nice Release Blog Hop Day 1!

Hello crafty friends, it's time for holiday crafting! I am so happy to be taking part in the Simon Says Stamp and Everything Nice Release Day 1 Blog Hop!

This is an amazing release filled with all kinds of holiday goodness! I had so much fun playing with  these products. I am sharing two cards today using some super fun dies!

French cards are super important to me as a 50% French Canadian! I used the beautiful new Poinsettia Cover Plate Die and used some of my Tonic glitter paper for a more dramatic effect with my white poinsettia petals. I did die cut inlay for my elements and finished off with a CZ Design Simon Says Stamp Joyeux Noel die.

For this one, I used the new Magical Mistletoe die but turned it into Holly. I die cut it three times added some lighter leaves with the extra leaves die cut included. I placed my elements on my card base and cut the excess. I picked my Joy sentiment and then added my last scrap piece to the bottom right. To finish off, some red clear drops.

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 and a surprise! 

This week Simon Says: Thinking of You 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 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  

I am so happy with the way this one turned out,  I used Altenew's fabulous Delicate Magnolia Die set. The Key Hole system that Altenew uses for their layering dies makes it so easy! I die cut my pieces and did some ink blending on my white card stock and put my pieces together. I die cut my leaves and my Hugs die and set them aside.

I then used a Pink Fresh Studio Cover Plate Die for my background panel. I added my flowers and leaves with a mix of glue and foam tape then my sentiments. I added both white and black gel pen detail and to finish off, some iridescent pink gems!

Simon Says: Anything Goes!

Fall is eternally my favourite season and I do love making a fall themed card. I took my Studio Light paper and cut it to A2 size and added some gold and white splatters and set it aside to dry.  I then die cut my leaves and ink blended them using Distress Inks. I also added gold paint splatter to the leaves.

While the leaves dried, I stamped and embossed my sentiment from Pink Fresh  and used the accompanying die. I set lined my leaves on the panel and used some press and seal to get the grouping I planned. I then glued the leaves to the panel and added my sentiment using foam tape. To finish off, my favourite Champagne Clear Drops!

I have always loved a CAS card! I decided on snowflakes, I just love working with the Simon Says Stamp snowflake lines. I started by embossing my panel then die cutting my Eliza snowflake and glued it to the panel.

I, once again, picked a sentiment from my favourite new Simon Says Stamp and CZ Design sentiment stamp and die set and used Gold Tinsel embossing powder. I added my sentiment to the panel using foam tape. To finish off, Clear Champagne Drops by Pink Fresh Studio.

I have always loved Christmas Crackers, they are a big tradition for us on my side of the family so I needed this die set in my life! I started by die cutting my elements and planned my layout. I felt the background needed something so I picked this beautiful embossing folder that I received after Christmas last year that I have never used. I embossed my panel and then glued my elements to the base.

For my sentiment, I picked one from my new CZ Design Making Spirits Bright stamps and dies.

For those of you that watch Murders in the Building, this is my version of the Christmas at the Arconia! Lol. This was fun to put together and adding some pets and extra Christmas decorations. I am gearing up for Christmas, clearly. This has been an exhausting year so why not enjoy the happiest time of the year earlier!

I love these dog stamps so much! I stamped and coloured my dog then fussy cut him out. I decided on Kraft for a tone on tone look with the pup for the bright green to pop! I then used my AALL stencil and ink blended some Unicorn White ink.  I glued my pup using foam tape then added white gel pen detail to the image.

I die cut my Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday die from some green metallic card stock, glued it to the card base. Then to finish off, some green clear drops!
