Simon Says Stamp: Cheering For You Release Blog Hop!

 Happy Friday crafty friends! It's time for the 1st day of the Simon Says Stamp Cheering For You release blog hops!

Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from your blog comments. They will choose winners and post on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday the 31^st of July!

I used the super sweet Delicate Hummingbird Duo dies for my tag (it is the sweetest bird die) and paired him with the Lily Duo Dies from the last release.  I ink blended my bird in the same colours that I chose for the Lilies.

I die cut my Simon Says Stamp tag die and 3D embossed it, I glued my lilies and cut the excess card stock. I then added my bird. 

I added a simple sentiment from an older Simon Says Stamp, stamp set and added it with foam tape. To finish off, iridescent gems!

Enjoy the hop!

Simon Says: Beautiful Blooms

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

This week Simon Says: Beautiful Blooms and we are using always beautiful 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!      

Such a fantastic set of products by Altenew! This was quick and turned out so well, I just find this set beautiful! The layering stencils make this effortless and produces beautiful results.  I went with non-traditional floral colours for my blooms. I used all Pawsitively Saturated Inks by Simon Says Stamp for my blending (all listed below).

I die cut my floral image and die cut my backing panel with an older MFT die from my stash. I choose the Blue Violet card stock to try and match my flower centre for the bottom of my panel.

I gold embossed my sentiment and added all of my elements to the panel cutting the excess from my floral image. To finish off some Lilac Clear drops!

Simon Says: Add Some Sparkle!

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

This week Simon Says: Add Some Sparkle and we are using always amazing Simon Says Stamp Brand Exclusive 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 this new Lily Duo die set by Simon Says Stamp. I die cut a bunch in different colours and decided to make a vase (I don't know why there are no vase dies out there).

I 3D embossed my background panel and then glued the "vase" and added my lilies using a mix of glue and foam tape.

I then stencilled my hugs by Altenew and used the accompanying die set. To finish off some iridescent gems on top of my sugar crystal card stock for double the sparkle!

Simon Says: Let's Get Into Shape!

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

This week Simon Says: Let's Get Into Shape and we are using super fun Art Impressions 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!    

This Bunny die set is adorable! It pairs with an Art Impressions Gift Card Holder that I don't have in my stash but this worked perfectly for my shape card. I just built a bunny card using the same die pieces for the front and back.

I die cut all of my pieces and glued them with a mix of glue and foam tape. I then die cut my Lawn Fawn patterned paper for the bow and egg ( I think).

To finish off, I added some black and white pen detail! This was very quick to put together. I will more than likely mass produce these for easter!

Simon Says: Stars and/or Stripes

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

This week Simon Says: Starts and/or Stripes and we are using super fun Avery Elle 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 the mixed fonts on these sentiments by Avery Elle! This was a fun and quick card to put together, I gold embossed my sentiment and then used stripe stamps from my stash with some Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks. I masked two portions of my sentiment and stamped my rainbow lines.

Once that was done, I used the cute star stamp from the same Avery Elle set and stamped them in black for some nice contrast.

Simon Says: Anything Goes!

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

This week Simon Says: Anything Goes and we are using always amazing My Favorite Things 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 the way this card turned out and it was the easiest and fastest! I die cut my top white panel using my MFT Butterflies and paired it with the gorgeous Brutus Monroe marble patterned paper. I used foam tape to glue my panel to the patterned paper.

I then die cut my MFT Hello dies from gold and black glitter card stock and added it to the panel also using foam tape.

I then added some Champagne gems to the Butterfly centres and on the largest white portion of my panel.

Simon Says: Emboss 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: Emboss It and we are using always fun Wow 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 with my Wow embossing trio of colours and embossed two white panels. One panel with only the green colour and the second panel with an ombre effect with both colours of turquoise.  I then die cut both panels, the green with the leaves and the beautiful die with the ombre panel.

I decided that this 3D embossing folder would compliment the leaves so I embossed my background panel. I then die cut my background beautiful die with some tonic Sugar Crystal card stock. I added my leaves to the panel then glued my sentiment using foam tape on top.

I stamped the secondary sentiments and die cut them with my Gina K. banner labels then added them to the card as well. I finished off with some turquoise gems.

This one seriously cheered me up while making ir, lots of bright and cheerful colours! I started by die cutting my Studio Light butterflies and flowers from coloured card stock and set them aside.

I took my A2 panel and used a Simon Says Stamp floral embossing folder that I had yet to try, felt it paired well with my die cuts.

I. added my butterflies with foam tape and then die cut and glued my sentiment to the centre of the panel. I added my flowers to my friend die and then white embossed my hello sentiment. To finish off, my favourite iridescent gems.
