Simon Says: Fur, Feathers or Flowers!

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: Fur, Feathers or Flowers and we are featuring always amazing Spellbinders 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 hate having to make a sympathy card but the mix of the Spellbinders embossing folder and the Quill by Altenew paired beautifully together.

I started by die cutting my Quill and putting it together and ink blending the sides for added dimension. I embossed my background panel using the beautiful leafy 3D embossing folder by Spellbinders.

I added twine from my stash and some Pink Fresh gold gems! My sentiment is French from an older stamp set from my stash.

Simon Says: Masculine

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: Masculine and we are featuring always amazing Tim Holtz 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 have always loved this Crazy line by Tim Holtz and have used the dogs, birds and accessories frequently since I purchased them. One of my godsons's graduates from High School with full honours this week so I decided on this because he and one of my dogs have a bromance going. Mozzie just loves him so I modelled the dog after my boy.

I stencilled my background then stamped my images and coloured them in with my COPIC markers and die cut all of my elements 

I decided on my Simon Says Stamp celebrate die in gold card stock and finished with some Pretty Pink Posh navy sequins with Champagne clear drops on top. Then a little white gel pen detail on my images.

Simon Says Moments in Time Release Blog Hop!

Happy Friday crafty friends! Super excited to be a part of the Day 1 blog hop for the amazing new Simon Says Stamp Moments In Time release!

Look at the adorable freebie you get when you place an order from the new product line!

I had such fun making this baby card! I took a piece of patterned paper and ink blended my sentiment from the new Banner Greeting clear stamps and stencil set in the same colour as my panel. I then stamped my images from the super sweet clear stamp set and coloured them in using my COPIC markers.

I cut my images and then die cut my Simon Says Stamp baby die and put all of my elements onto my panel. To finish off some of my favourite Pink Fresh Drops!

I used my Tim Holtz watercolour pencils for this one. I embossed my panel then coloured my flowers and leaves. I set it aside to dry and die cut my Happy Birthday sentiments. I glued the sentiment with foam tape for dimension. To finish off, more drops by Pink Fresh!

I simply adore Simon Says Stamp 3D embossing folders, they offer beautiful results. This is a newer Radial Dots folder that I haven't used yet, once I embossed my panel, I did a little ink blending and set it aside.

I die cut my flowers and also did ink blending on the flowers, stem and leaves. I put my pieces together using a mix of glue and foam tape. I then glued the entire piece to the card base.

I die cut my big hugs sentiment from both black and yellow glitter card stock. I glued them together and offset the black for dimension then glued them to the panel. I added a little white gel pen to the flower centre and finished off with some clear drops!

Simon Says: Things With Wings!

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

I love crafting with butterflies! These are so pretty and have such detail - typical of Memory Box products. Also, I splurged and finally purchased the full set of Tim Holtz Watercolour pencils and this is the first time I used them. I simply took a piece of watercolour paper and drew straight lines in rainbow order then blended everything with a water brush. I then splattered black soot paint onto the panel. I die cut my butterflies and added some gold ink to the sides and set them aside.

As you know, if you follow me, I am obsessed with polka dots always have been, lol. I embossed my panel and glued my butterflies and added my Simon Says Stamp Celebrate die. To finish off, some Iridescent Clear drops!

Simon Says: Beautiful Blooms!

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: Beautiful Blooms and we are featuring Paper Rose Studio 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!  

When I saw the theme for this week I had to use the beautiful Paper Rose Studio patterned paper as my inspiration.  I cut a 4.25 x 5.5 piece from the patterned paper then used my scallop frame to die cut my top panel.

I die cut these super sweet Doodlebug Flower Garden Doodle Cuts in matching colours and did some light ink blending. I put my florals together and set them aside.

I picked this beautiful Simon Says Stamp die (which I love). I glued my florals down and then glued my beautiful sentiment on top. To finish off, some Champagne Clear Drops by Pink Fresh Studio and some white gel pen detail!
