Glitter Me Silly

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

Make it Feminine

We are showcasing Paper Rose 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 love the mix of patterns in the Paper Rose Perfect Pairs Paper Pad – the soft pinks and purples just scream feminine to me.

I chose the papers I wanted and used one of the hearts from the Simon Says Stamp Basic Hearts Dies to cut them out. I cut a few more from white cardstock and stacked each patterned heart with the cardstock hearts to give them dimension.

I took the bow die from the Tim Holtz Love Notes Sidekick dies and die cut them from black card and then coated them with Glossy Accents.

I used black acrylic paint to splatter the background and then when everything was dry I adhered the hearts and bows to the card base. I finished the card off with Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips.

Quite Quirky

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 love the packs of ephemera from AALL & Create – there’s so much in them! I took a few pieces from the Creepy Curiosities pack and coated them roughly (so there was dimension to them) with Altenew 3D Crystal Gel . It sets with a lovely texture if you don’t smooth it and adds a great shine too.

I die cut some letters using the Tim Holtz Letterboard die set to spell out Bugs & Kisses and added a few splatters to the backgound of my base card before adhering the embellishments.

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

This week the challenge is

Food or Drink

We are showcasing Clearly Besotted 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.

So one of my favourite food groups is sugar – in any form! I don’t discriminate when it comes to sugar! So for this week’s challenge I thought the Clearly Besotted Splat It Stencil would be ideal as melting chocolate to dip other forms of sugar into – like a chocolate fountain of sugary magnificence!

Using the drippy edge part of the stencil, I blended some Altenew Milk Chocolate dye ink onto white smooth cardstock and then used the Simon Says Stamp A2 Arches dies to cut a panel and fussy cut around the drips. I added some highlights with a white gel pen.

I grabbed my current favourite die collection from Hero Arts (Bear Hugs and Candy Kebob) and die cut a whole bunch of sweets from different shades of Concord and 9th cardstock. I assembled the pieces and added glossy accents to some and Rock Candy glitter to others.

Tip – the tiny little die cuts that pop out from die cutting the small gummy bear in the Bear Hugs set make great little sprinkles!

I used an very old (but still a favourite) alphabet die set from Papertrey Ink to cut my letters to spell out SWEET but this Small Alphabet die set from Gina K would work really well too – as an upper case version or this one, Playful Lower Case Alphabet from Honeybee Stamps.

To finish off I added a Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strip (Bold Birthday) and arranged the sweet die cuts on the bottom of the card.
