Simon Says Stamp Joy For You Release Blog Hop Day 1

Hey there! I’m so happy to be joining in this fun hop today to celebrate the brand new Joy For You Release from Simon Says Stamp. The releases at this time of year are always my favourite so I’m delighted to have three holiday cards to share today.

Card 1 – I created an A2 card with a white base and added a panel made using the Wintertime Ornaments Embossing Folder. I embossed the white cardstock then used a small Tim Holtz Brayer to add Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink over the raised areas. I die cut the new Fancy To You and Yours Dies and added Distress Rock Candy Glitter to the pink sentiment. To finish I added a pink ribbon bow and used the EZ Strips Vintage Christmas to add the Merry Christmas to the sentiment.

Card 2 – One of my favourite products in the Simon Says Stamp line are the nesting shape dies and this new A2 Starry Arches set is a beauty! I created an arch shaped card base using the A2 Arches dies then used the largest of the Starry Arch dies to die cut a panel and adhered it to the card base so the white would show through. I added a subtle splatter using the Simon Says Stamp Pawsitiviley Perfect Opaque White Splatter. I then used the new Modern Floral Ornament Dies and created my die cut focal point using pink, white and Simon Says Stamp Luxe Glitter Cardstock for the top of the ornament. To finish I added the word Joy using the Simon Says Stamp CZ Design Holiday Typewriter Trio Die.

Card 3 – This last card features 2 more gorgeous new products from the Joy For You Release – Frozen Fractal Love Die and the Petal Frames Embossing Folder and Dies. I also used an older die and one of my favourites, the CZ Design Merry & Bright die.

Simon Says … Bling It On featuring Pretty Pink Posh

Image

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

This week the challenge is

We are showcasing Pretty Pink Posh 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 started by using the Pretty Pink Posh Tiny Hearts Stencil directly on a white A2 card base using Ranger Transluscent Texture Paste. Whilst it was still wett I sprinkled on Rock Candy Glitter and set it aside to dry.

I stamped the Merry & Bright sentiment from the Concord and 9th Season’s Greeting Stamp and die set in red and added shimmer over the ink to add a little more bling. I tied some red and white Baker’s Twine around the card base and added a die cut using Pretty Pink Posh Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies and then popped the sentiment over it using foam squares.

We are showcasing 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 started by die cutting a card panel using the Simon Says Stamp A2 Rectangle Dies from white cardstock and blended Distress Inks in warm tones. I ran it through my die cut machine using the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Tiles Embossing Folder and added it onto a white A2 card base.

I used the Simon Says Stamp Celebrate Die using the gorgeous Simon Says Stamp Luxe Glitter Cardstock and the shadow in white and added it to the card -love the sparkle!
