Glitter Me Silly

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Sending Flowers Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Emboss It

We are showcasing Simon Says Stamp Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

I’m in love with the embossing folders from Simon Says Stamp. They are so easy to use and are so detailed. I made two cards this week for the Emboss It challenge. One of my recent purchases included this Seeded Stems Embossing Folder. It’s perfect for all occasion cards.

I used Distress Oxide inks to give a water colour effect and blended around the edges with the same inks Crushed Olive and Salvaged Patina.

The second card uses Picked Raspberry blended over the embossing folder. On both cards I used sentiments from the Pocket Sentiments Stamps and Dies from Altenew.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $25 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Hello there friends! Thanks for stopping by on your blog hop adventure for the brand new Simon Says Stamp “Friend Like You” Release.

I have no idea how the gang at Simon Says Stamp keep coming up with so many gorgeous new products but this one is another doozy!

I’ve made 3 cards with some of the goodies from this release but if I had had a bit more time (as you read this I will be enjoying the vibes at the Glastonbury Festival) I could have made a hundred more!

The first two cards were made using the Dot Spiral Embossing Folder, Artic Poppies Dies and CZ Designs Smile Stamp Set. The first one I embossed the dot Spiral pattern onto a white card panel cut using the A2 Rectangle Dies). I then lightly ran a Delicata Gold ink pad over the raised design to pick out the detail. I die cut the Arctic Poppies from white card and coloured them using Distress inks with blending brushes. The Smile sentiment was stamped using Versamark onto Vellum and then heat embossed in gold. I made a bouquet with the poppies and added a die cut bow from the Pretty Bows die set and added a final touch of sparkle with some Tidal Wave Sequin embellishments.

The second card uses almost the same products (minus the sequins) but with a totally different look. I blended Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink onto a card panel before embossing is with the Dot Spiral Embossing Folder. I embossed the sentiment in white and added them to the card using foam adhesive.

This card uses the Undersea Friends Stamp set and again, the Dot Spiral Embossing Folder (can you tell how much I loved this design?)!! I stamped the images to create my little underwater scene and coloured them with Copics. I die cut a panel of white card and cut a circle aperture beore running it throught the embossing folder. I added detail by running a Delicata Silver ink pad over the raised pattern and then adhered the panel over the stamped design. I finished it off with some Tidal Wave Embellishments.

I hope you’re enjoying all the inspiration along the hop and that you find something fun to add to your toybox!!! You can find the full list of hop participants below but your next stop from here is the amazing Maura Hibbitts

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Going Round In Circles Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Anything Goes

We are showcasing Hero Arts Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

For the background I blended gold ink into a card base and then added a subtle pattern using a Tim Holtz stencil.

I created this card using the Present Tower Dies from Hero Arts . I die cut it from red cardstock and a second time from gold then cut away the pats I didn’t want and added the gold details to the red die cut.
