I LOVE this new Hero Arts Daisy stencil! I don't usually use yellow, but I am super happy with the way this CAS card turned out.  

I stencilled my background using two stencils: 1st my MFT watercolor stencil and the Hero Arts Daisy stencil on top. I like selective blending and this was a great mix of stencils.

I die cut my panel using my Hero Arts rounded rectangle dies. I die cut my happy from black Tonic glitter paper and black fun foam for dimension. I lined up my die cut to stamp the secondary sentiment and then glued the happy on top.

I glued my panel on an angle to the card base with fun foam on the back and added some Picket Fence Studios sequins and one black candy heart!

Simon Says Stamp - Good Luck Charm Release!

I love Simon Says Stamp release day! Time for the new Good Luck Charm release!

I am sharing two cards today using the new Layered Confetti stencil!

I used some Distress Oxides for the first card in pinks and a coral and added some glitter embossing powder. I then die cut the Birthday sentiment from the last Simon Says Stamp release from January.

I added some gold twine on the back of my die cut piece added it to the card.

For this one, I chose colors that reminded me of one of my favourite Doodlbug pattern papers. I then die cut the Fell Better Soon die from the new release added to the panel. To finish off, some sequins from a Simon Says Stamp sequin mix.

Simon Says: Slimline Cards

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

This week Simon Says: Slimline Cards 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 in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $25 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store!           

Two things I really love 1) Whimsy Stamps Products and 2) a fun Slimline card! I had such fun with this weeks theme! I chose the Tabby Tiger clear stamps and coloured them to look like our Tigrou the cat we had until he was 17. I used my trusty COPICS to color the images and used the accompanying die cuts.

I set my images aside and die cut the components for my Slimline all by Whimsy Stamps. I put my elements on the card base using a mix of foam tape and glue and added my images with foam tape. I added some white gel pen accents and glossy accents to the images and set it aside to dry.

I stamped my sentiments from the same Whimsy Stamps stamp set and die cut them using my Gina K. banner dies. To finish off, some gold foil pearls by Studio Katia!

I just love making tags, and the starting point for all three was this amazing Simon Says stamp Crystal Distortion 3D Embossing folder.

I die cut three tags and embossed the all using the same folder and I was super inspired to use this Honey Bee stamp pattern paper for all three.

I chose my dies for the remainder of the designs and die cut my Eucalyptus leaves with two of the pretty green papers in the pack. I paired these with the Miss You Wafer die also with the same pattern paper and some Tonic black glitter. I finished off with some candy hearts from my stash.

For this one, I used the Simon Says Stamp envelope die also with the same Honey Bee pattern paper pack. I love the back side (inside of the envelope) paper pattern. I paired it with an older Sending wafer die also die cut from Tonic Black Glitter. Finished with some red die cut hearts.

For this one, I used the Simple Stem and the Simply die using, once again, the fun Honey Bee paper pack and some Tonic Sugar Crystal glitter card stock. Some Picket Fence sequins to top this one off.

All of the ribbons used are from my stash and tied them with twine!

Season of Love!

I received some amazing new Simon Says Stamp products this week from the new ...And Back Again release. Couldn't wait to play, I will have another card early next week featuring this release! 

I chose to pair the new Mini Slimline Snowflake Stencil with my January Card Kit Warmest Wishes Stamp set. The kit is sold out but the components are available separately!

I started by ink blending a mix of Distress Inks on one side of my Mini Slimline Stencil. I cleaned off the stencil and flipped it, aligned the bottom snowflake. I was so happy with the result, I wanted to frame my snow people.

I stamped and coloured the snow people with my COPIC markers in colors that complemented the Distress colors. I fussy cut them and re-stamped them to my panel as I had cut the really fussy pieces off that were not going to pass the scissor test with this lefty, lol!

I added them to my panel using foam tape for dimension. I chose the sentiment from the same stamp set  and used my Misti for position.

To finish off, I added some Picket FenceStudio sequins and candies as well as a purple candy heart from my stash. As always, some white gel pen detail!

Simon Says: With Love

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

This week Simon Says: With Love and we are featuring beautiful Gina K. Designs products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

Come join in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $25 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store!          

I just love this mini slimline cover plate die by Gina K. I made two cards for this week just because I really enjoyed the mix of the cover plate with this Rabbit Hole 6x6 paper back that is the background on both of these in different colors.

I have always loved mixing pink and brown so I couldn't resist when I saw the Rabbit Hole brown  pattern paper. I paired this with the new Simon Says Stamp Miss You die I felt it was so nice for the "With Love" theme.

I put all of my elements on my slimline card base and added a mix of Pink Fresh Studio pearls and Pretty Pink Posh espresso jewels. I added some glossy accents to the Miss You and some white gel pen detail.

For this one, I paired the tricolor pattern paper with some Tonic Sugar Cube glitter card stock (I love the mixes in this paper pack).

I also paired it with the same Miss You die and Turquoise Sea Tonic glitter card stock.

To finish off, a mix of Pretty Pink Posh jewels.
