Simon Says … Going Around in Circles featuring Altenew

Image

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

This week the challenge is

We are showcasing Altenew 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 stencilling a striped background onto an A2 card using the Classic Stripes Stencil (unfortunately sold out at Simon Says Stamp) but a very similar one from Alex Syberia can be found HERE.

I used some Altenew card colours to create the Tim Holtz Candy Apple from the Trick or Treat Colorize set. I die cut a Pinked Circle using the Waffle Flower Nesting Pinked Circles and finished with a sentiment strip from the Reverse Witch Please set from Simon Says Stamp.

Simon Says … Summertime Blues featuring Pinkfresh Studio

Image

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

This week the challenge is

We are showcasing Pinkfresh Studio 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 created a couple of country and western themed cards using shades of blue cardstock with a bit of glitz thrown in from the Simon Says Stamp Luxe card in silver.

I used the Pinkfresh Studio Eleveated Rainbows cover plate die and cut it from 2 shades of blue and the luxe card stock. I pieced different bits into the die cuts and adhered them to two A2 card bases.

I pulled out the Honey Bee Stamps Western Wear die set and made up the pieces adding the boots to one card and the hat to the other. I added bling to the die cuts and finished off with a sentiment using the CZ Design Happy Combos stamps and dies.

Simon Says … Monochrome featuring Gina K

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 Gina K 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 thought I’d reach for one of my all time favourite stencils for this week’s challenge – the Gina K Stellar Snowflake Stencil .

I absolutely love it. I took a panel of white card and used embossing paste tinted with alcohol ink to colour it. Because it doen’t mix, it give a loveley speckled effect as you paste it over the stencil. I wouldn;t call it finished until I added a tone of glitter so went for my favourite Rock Candy.

I die cut the sentiment using the 2025 Stamptember kit from Tim Holtz die set from silver card.
