I ordered these adorable Merry Little Mice by Honey Bee last year at the end of the season and had not had the chance to ink them up, so I thought they were perfect for this weeks challenge! I chose my images, coloured them with COPIC markers and used the accompanying die cuts.


I also wanted to use this Honey Bee hot foil plate with some of my red foil. Once that was done I used the second largest Deckle Edge die and added some Salty Ocean Distress Ink to the side of the panel. I then added my images using foam tape.

I used the larger Deckle Edge die to die cut my background panel from this gorgeous Simon Says Stamp red holographic card stock and added everything to my card base.


I used the Joy die also by Honey Bee Stamps added it to my panel. I then finished off with these super fun Pink Fresh Studio Glitter Drops in Ruby, some white gel pen detail and a candy heart on my solo envelope.

I love making gift tags, especially ones for Christmas gifts! I just has to use the Mistletoe die by Memory Box, the scale was just perfect.  I decided to pair it with some Memory Box Glitter paper.

To begin, I used my new Tim Holtz Mica Spray on some Neena Solar White and let it properly dry then die cut my leaves.


I picked this Modascrap die and die cut my tags. Then die cut my mistletoe berries and the bow and put my tags together using a mix of foam tape and glue.


I decided to use my favourite Tiny Words Christmas clear stamps by Simon Says Stamp, I love these tiny sentiments for tags. I added some twine from my stash and some candy hearts to finish off.

Simon Says: Stencil It!

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

This week Simon Says: Stencil It and we are featuring Tim Holtz products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

I was so anxious to try my new Tim Holtz Holiday Mica Sprays to see how they reacted by spraying with s Stencil.  Using the stencil adhesive really helped to contain leaking and I was super happy with the effects it gives so shimmery. I used Distress Watercolor card stock for added texture.


Once my panel was dry, I decided to add some red twine from my stash as I did stain my panel on the seam just a little bit and the twine was a quick fix. I then added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins over my stained "berries".


To finish off, I used this new Modascrap sentiment which fit perfectly in the space left by the wreath!

This card was so simple to put together, the amazing patterned paper in this pack is amazing! I picked the background paper and trimmed it to 4 x 5.25 to give a slight white border.


I then decided upon coordinating paper from my stash and die cut my Joy die from Simon says Stamp, glued them together and added them to the panel using foam tape.

I took out my Tiny Words Christmas and stamped and embossed my secondary sentiment on coordinating paper and added it to my panel with foam tape.


To finish off, I added an older Pretty Pink Posh sequin mix from my stash that had the perfect coordinating colors.
