Simon Says: Frame It

Happy Wednesday! That means it's time for a new Simon Says Wednesday Challenge! 

This week Simon Says: Frame It!

The design team is featuring Memory Box products, you don't have to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

I am having a hard time finding my mojo this week. This is the second card I made for this challenge. Ever have those weeks? I started by die-cutting a rainbow of Memory Box Stitched Circle dies for my project. I then decided to use this Doodle Bug polka dot rainbow pattern paper to die cut my  Memory Box Darla butterfly.

I also die cut the upper left butterfly wing with the biggest of the circle dies to "frame it" in the pink circle. I felt the polka dot paper was a little lost so I decided to back it and offset it with a black butterfly. I took a piece of Tim Holtz woodgrain card stock and placed my circles and biggest butterfly on the panel.

I then die cut the Simon Says Stamp Hello die and some smaller older Memory Box butterflies to scatter on the card. To finish my project I added some Pretty Pink Posh Gold Sequins in 4 and 6 mm.

Blush and Red Christmas

Happy Wednesday crafty friends! I haven't posted yet this week because my embossing gun died an untimely death on Sunday right in the middle of my Christmas card/tag production! Boo, lol. I ordered another Hero Arts heat tool (that's my favourite) and I ran out for a back-up on Monday evening. So happy, you never know how useful your tools are until they are gone... 

Made this one from some new MFT and Memory Box products from this year.

I am loving the new tonic mirror papers. I have picked-up every color and I will have to renew after I finish my holiday projects.  For this one I paired the red and blush (flat colored) card stock and die cut them with new Memory Box stitched snowflakes. Once I decided on the snowflakes the large MFT Merry Christmas stamp seemed like the natural choice.

I die cut my MFT background panel from Whip Cream card stock (also by MFT), I am using this card stock a lot this year. I then used my Ranger Red Glitter embossing powder for the sentiment, I love the effect of the red glitter with the blush and red snowflakes.

To finish off my project, I used some Rose Gold Pretty Pink Posh sequins and some pink gems. Once they were glued in place I used my Red Berry Nuvo drops and my Rose Gold Liquid Pearls on the centre of the snowflakes and around the sequins.

Thanks for taking the time!

You're so Tweet!

Happy Tuesday crafty friends! This is my last week of a wonderful four-week vacation, boo. Although I am ready to put the flip flops to the weekends and get back to reality!

I finally got my hands on this older Clearly Besotted stamp set - Some Birdie Loves You! It was backordered for so long!

I am just in-love with these birds! The illustration of the stamps is, in my opinion, the sweetest! I used my Copic Sketch and looked up love birds on google to get the right coloration. I then fussy cut my images. For the background I used my favourite MFT could stencil, this is a must-have in my craft room! The foliage is an older Memory Box die as is the rainbow.  

Once my card was put together with these elements, I stamped the music notes from the Some Birdie Loves You set and white embossed the sentiment (same set) on a Lawn Fawn banner.

I finished my project off with Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets!

Thanks so much for taking the time!
