Simon Says: Halloween/Spooky

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

This week, Simon Says: Halloween/Spooky, featuring always-amazing Mama Elephant products. You don't need to use them, but if you do, we would love to see them! Join the fun for a chance to win a $25.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!   

I love Halloween projects as much as Christmas! This Mama Elephant Pumpkin Carvings Dies set is so fun; I fussy-cut them into tags for gift bags. This was simple to create; I die-cut my "toppers" from glitter cardstock and fussy-cut them. I blended ink on my coloured cardstock, glued the topper, and cut the surround. To finish off, I used a Spooky die from my stash and some gold twine!

Simon Says Stamp Sending Cheer Release

Happy Saturday, Crafty Friends! So happy to join day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Sending Cheer Blog Hop! The entire hop list is below the post!

I love fall! It's my favourite season, and nothing is prettier than a drive through the regions of Quebec to see the fall colours. So when the new Fab Fall Leaves Dies arrived, I knew I had to make my annual fall card for this hop.

I used some sprays from my stash on watercolour paper, let them dry, then die-cut a series of leaves. I also used gold spray on the leaves, and ink-blended Gathered Twigs Distress Ink on the edges of the leaves and card panel. I chose the sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Oak Leaf die set; I felt it worked well with my leaf cluster!

Thanks for taking the time! Products are linked above in the post!

Simon Says: Use Patterned Paper!

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

This week, Simon Says: Use Patterned Paper, and we are featuring always amazing Lawn Fawn products - it isn't a requirement to use them, but if you have them, we would love to see them! Join the fun for a chance to win a $25.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!    

My starting point for this card was the Lawn Fawn Sparkles Paper Pack and this large Let it Snow die. Together, they make a quick, fun Christmas/Holiday card! 

I die-cut my panel and sentiment, then added a strip of paper to my card base. Glued my top panel and added the Let It Snow Die.

To finish, I added some gold pearl gems from my stash! Simple and fun!

Simon Says: Christmas in September

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

This week, Simon Says: Christmas in September, and we are featuring always amazing Concord & 9th Products - it isn't a requirement to use them, but if you have them, we would love to see them! Join the fun for a chance to win a $25.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!    

I love this die set Festive Blooms Die Set by Concord & 9th . Lots of parts, but so fun and easy to put together with the background die. I die-cut my pieces and added them to the background panel following the dotted lines, then layered the pieces.

I picked this amazing CZ Design sentiment released last year from one of my favourite sentiment sets. Added it using foam tape and added white gel pen detail.

Simon Says: Clean and Simple

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

This week, Simon Says: Clean and Simple, and we are featuring always amazing CZ Design Products - it isn't a requirement to use them, but if you have them, we would love to see them! Join the fun for a chance to win a $25.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!    

I love when I can find French sentiments (half French Canadian), so my starting point was this amazing CZ Design CZ Design Merci Wafer Die Merci Die. I also love a CAS card! White space is always so appealing to me and mixing with Polka Dots is always so good.

I used patterned paper from my stash and an older Spellbinders embossing folder from my stash. I die cut my Merci from the same patterned paper as glued to my cardbase.

I added these Simon Says Stamp leaves also in white and, to finish off, some iridescent sequins!

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 Texture, 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 love making leafy cards, probably because green is my favourite colour! I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and Watercolour Paper for my panel. I then embossed it for texture using a Spellbinders folder from my stash. 

I picked the Whirl Leaves die by Simon Says Stamp and die-cut it also from the Watercolour paper and glued it with foam tape for dimension.

The Simple Thanks die is by CZ Design for Simon Says Stamp and finished off using Green Clear Drops.
