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

This week the challenge is

Bright and Colourful

We are showcasing AALL & Create 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 sharing more Christmas fun this week and have used the AALL & Creat Merry Little Things stamp set.

I stamped the trees onto watercolour cardstock using Versamark ink then heat embossed in white.

I pulled out my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolour paints and coloured them in different colours to give a nostalgic feel.

I embossed a sheet of white cardstock using the Ice Crystals Embossing folder from Studio Light and mounted it onto a peice of black cardstock and then onto an A2 card base. I finished with a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips.

I’m joining in with celebrating a talented crafty friend whom most of you (if not all) will be familiar with … Jenn Shurkus! Her blog is 20 years in the making and so a few of us who have known Jenn over the years have got together with her to mark this amazing achievement by creating a card inspired by the Ocean-loving mermaid-girl herself.

Jenn is known for her love of all things Distress so I had to start with an inky background – aqua blue of course! I also went with a Christmas theme as a nod to her Get Cracking on Christmas challenge she has been doing for a few years now. I also loved the big sentiment so included that too using the CZ Design Making Spirits Bright Stamp and die set from Simon Says Stamp.

One of my favourite products released this year is the Barn Star Wreath die collection from Spellbinders. I’ve used it several times already and will be definitely using it again before the season is over! I die cut the elements from various card stock colours and popped it onto my card.

Here’s the card that gave me inspiration…

Jenn has a full list on her blog of all the other peeps celbrating this milestone with her so hope you go and show them some love. She also has a huge giveaway going on so you’ll definitely want to swing by!

We’re showcasing Pink and Main 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.

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

This week the challenge is

Think Pink

I started my pink explosion by creating a panel using Distress Watercolour card and some Distress Oxide inks in Tattered Rose and Spun Sugar. I die cut this using the Simon Says Stamp A2 Rectangle Dies.

I created a big, bold pink peony using the Gina K Designs Layered Peony Stencil Set using Concord and 9th inks and then fussy cut it out and layered it onto the ink blended panel.

I then took the beautiful Pink and Main Cheers Dies (obviously I chose the Congrats sentiment) and die cut the word twice from two shades of pink Concord and 9th cardstock layering them up then offsetting them before gluing onto the card panel. I splattered the whole panel with Simon Says Stamp White Splatter Medium and popped the panel onto an A2 white card base.
