Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Stencil it Featuring SSS products!

Happy Wednesday crafty friends and that means a new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge! 

This week, we are featuring Simon Says Stamp Products and Stencils!

This little one from the Simon Says Stamp Flowers and Showers set was a must for me to use. I love her (I added lashes so she is a her lol).

I stamped my image on my Neena 80lbs panel and colored with my Copic Markers. Once that was done, I added some grey shading to the bottom of the puddle. I then pulled out my rain drops stencil with some Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink and went over the white on the panel being carful not to ruin my image.

I then trimmed down my panel because I decided on a colored card base (for once) in a complementary color to the shaded lilac. Before placing my panel on the card base, I added the Avery Elle Hugs and Kisses sentiment and the Simon Says Stamp Sending die.

I decided I needed a few hearts so I stamped those as well and I felt the Lavender card base was a little plain so I used an Altenew Stencil again with the Shaded Lilac to give a little punch in the background. Once everything was put together I added some white dot detail and Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

CFC196 - Spring Fever!

Happy Friday crafty friends! I have been so looking forward to the Easter break, four days away from work with family and friends always makes a difference!

Time for a new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge, we are focusing on Spring Fever!

My project today features the new CAS-ual Fridays Somebunny stamp set! I can't even, look at that bunny! I tried my hand at some no-line Copic coloring and some added pencil detail to make her look furry! Not sure I have the technique down, but I am happy I tried it and it does give added dimension and texture. I am really in love with this set and the fun accompanying sentiments are super fun. I used some Spring like violet colors for the clouds and in my choice of Copics.

To finish off the project, I added some glitter Fun-Fetti hearts and a white and silver pompom for her tail!

Join us at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge blog for the chance to win $25 worth of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and, drum roll please... Michelle with double the prize if you use CAS-ual Fridays stamps!

Out of This World Monday!

Happy Monday crafty friends! Kim With you this morning, can you believe it is already and at the same time finally April! My project today features the fantastic Out of this World stamps and dies by Lawn Fawn! All of these products are available in the Butterfly Reflections, Ink shop!

I don't know about you but when a set is released that is perfect for masculine/boy cards I jump on it! I have 7 nephews and I find masculine cards daunting! So I had to have this one.

I started by stamping all of my images using my Misti Stamp Tool to double stamp for crisp black images.  I Copic coloured my images and I googled actual pictures of the planets to give a realistic color palette. 

I then pulled out all the border and background dies I wanted to use. I started by die cutting both navy cardstock and Neena Solar White (80 lbs) with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Frames. I then took the inside white piece and die cut it again using the Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hillside Borders to act like a moon. I then took the navy inside piece and die cut it with the Lawn Fawn Snowy Backdrop die for my sky. I sprayed the navy piece with white and shimmer spray to add texture and a galaxy effect.

I put the background elements together and then die cut my images. I glued all of my elements to the base and added some glossy accents to the space ship, the Saturn ring and the helmet. I added some shading to the Moon with my Copics and that was it! 

Go on to the shop if you are interested in any of these products and if they are out of stock simply select the put me on the waiting list option. Vanessa re-stocks very quickly!

Have a great week!
