Simon Says: Emboss It!

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

This week Simon Says: Emboss It and we are using always fun Wow 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 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!   


 I started with my Wow embossing trio of colours and embossed two white panels. One panel with only the green colour and the second panel with an ombre effect with both colours of turquoise.  I then die cut both panels, the green with the leaves and the beautiful die with the ombre panel.

I decided that this 3D embossing folder would compliment the leaves so I embossed my background panel. I then die cut my background beautiful die with some tonic Sugar Crystal card stock. I added my leaves to the panel then glued my sentiment using foam tape on top.


I stamped the secondary sentiments and die cut them with my Gina K. banner labels then added them to the card as well. I finished off with some turquoise gems.

This one seriously cheered me up while making ir, lots of bright and cheerful colours! I started by die cutting my Studio Light butterflies and flowers from coloured card stock and set them aside.

I. added my butterflies with foam tape and then die cut and glued my sentiment to the centre of the panel. I added my flowers to my friend die and then white embossed my hello sentiment. To finish off, my favourite iridescent gems.

I love this clear stamp, die and stencil leaf set by Simon Says Stamp, I had to use it for this week's Anything Goes. I gold embossed my leaves and then went with rainbow stencilling and finally using the accompanying dies.

I am obsessed with the Whirl A2 background wafer die, I wanted to use it but make it a hint in the background so I decided to use woodgrain card stock to give it texture but it didn't take over the card. I then glued my leaves to the panel


I white embossed my sentiments from the same set and used the accompanying die for the friendship die and my banner dies for the secondary sentiment. To finish off, I added some wood hearts from my stash!

Simon Says: Use Die Cuts

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 Die Cuts and we are using always amazing Memory Box 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 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  

 


I have been MIA for a few weeks, I am finally at the end of bronchitis which has been very long and slightly painful. Thankfully, I have a good doctor who has me on the mend! But I have not been feeling very crafty. I am happy to be back with a Mother's Day Card using one of my favorite Memory Box dies.

I used my favourite glitter paper and some rectangle dies along with my verdant leaf die, I choose some pretty patterned paper from my stash and used foam tape to glue my leaf frame.


I took my new Lawn Fawn stamps and used the Mother's Day sentiments and added them to the top of the card. I didn't want anything overwhelming that would take away from the leaf!
