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

I decided to use the super fun Deco Hat Gnome by Simon Says Stamp this week :) The elements on his hat were perfect to use multiple patter papers by Doodlebug!

I die cut all of my elements, I coloured the nose and beard using my Copic Markers and put everything together.

I die cut my panel and used two of the Honey Bee polka dot stencils for my background. I added my Gnome with gold twine from my stash using foam tape.

I then die cut my Hugs sentiment by Simon Says Stamp and added it to the panel. The secondary sentiment is from a fun Doodlebug stamp set and I embossed that using gold sparkle embossing powder.

To finish off, I added some Pretty Pink Posh gold sequins. I am super happy with the way this one turned out, super fun project.

Hello Friend!

 Happy Monday! I am over on the LDRS Blog this morning sharing a scene card using the adorable new Friends Like You stamp and die set!

I started by stamping and coloring the sweet images from the Friends Like You Stamp Set and used the accompanying dies, set my images aside to work on my panel.

I die cut a Slimline panel using the Slim Line Corner Scallop Dies and ink blended my clouds and grass.

I decided that I needed to add the tree from the Build-A-Tree stamp set so I stamped it and colored it then used the accompanying die. I added my elements on the panel using foam tape.

I chose the amazing new Sophie's Alphabet dies both upper and lower for my hello and die cut them from specialty paper.

For my secondary sentiment, I used the Friend word from he Friends like you stamp set and added some PostIt tape to the parts I did not want to stamp.

Bit O' Green for me means St-Patrick's Day - my favorite day of the year! It is my happy day for many reason's so I absolutely needed a St-Patrick's themed card for this weeks challenge! 

I started by die cutting my Simon Says Stamp Leprechaun from a mix of Neens Solar White card stock and some Lawn Fawn coloured card stocks. For my Leprechaun's face and beard I used Copic Markers and for added dimension to the pot and top hat, I ink blended some Distress Inks and put him together on the base die cut.

I die cut my background panel and used an MFT Cloud Stencil with Shaded Lilac Distress Ink. I then die cut multiple Sunny Studio pattern papers with a rainbow die and glued the rainbow to the panel (I kept the leftover pieces for another project, or multiple projects).

I added him to the panel using a small action wobbler (such fun)! I then chose a Mama Elephant happy die and used black fun foam and Shamrock Glitter paper and added it to the panel then added my secondary sentiment from Sunny Studio.

To finish off, I added some Shamrocks and some white gel pen detail!

Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit

 Happy International Women's Day! I was playing with my Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit over the weekend and I thought this was perfect to share today! The kit is still available in limited quantities!

I chose some of the amazing pattern papers from the kit along with the Beautiful script die.  I started by laying out my elements to see what I wanted the end result to be and I chose this butterfly from an older Simon Says Stamp Comfort and Prayers set.

I used my Zig Markers to color the Butterfly and fussy cut my image. I trimmed and die cut my papers and placed them on my card base with a mix of tape runner and fun foam. I die cut my Beautiful with Tonic Harvest Gold and Lawn Fawn Black Licorice and glued it to the panel.

I then glued my butterfly using a Darice foam strip and lifted the wings and added some white gel pen detail.

I used the Hello from the new Simon Says Stamp Spring Birds set and added it to the top of the cutout. To finish off, I used some sequins from my stash!

I have always loved working with the Prima Marketing Confection watercolor paints so I pulled out The Classics and the Tropical collections to paint this Simon Says Stamp Sketched Flowers bouquet. I stamped and gold embossed my bouquet and painted them in with my confections.

Once the bouquet was dry, I added some colored pencil detail to the blooms using my Polychromos pencils.  I then took my LDRS Stitched Card Toppers and die cut the panel using the A2 sized die.

I then die cut my Stitched Friend die by Simon Says Stamp using both Lawn Fawn Black Licorice and Tonic Harvest Gold and glued it to the panel.

I stamped my secondary Love You sentiment from the same set as the Sketched Flowers stamp on top of the image. To finish off, I added some Fashion Gold droplets by Spellbinder.
