Glitter Me Silly

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

This week the challenge is

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.

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 we’re celebrating the 17th birthday of the Wednesday Challenge!!!

Happy Birthday

For this special celebration the lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! 

We are showcasing Simon Says Stamps 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 gathered a few of my favourite “go to” Simon supplies for this card starting (as I pretty much always do) with a top folded A2 white card base!

I inked up the Scripty Birthday Background Stamp using Distress Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar inks and cut the card to create a panel on white card. I used the Basic Hearts Dies to cut a heart out of the panel and replace it with a die cut heart from pink cardstock adhering the panel to the cad front with foam tape.

Next I cut the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Wishes Die from Honeysuckle Card (Concord and 9th) and from white card 2 more times, layered them up to create a dimensional die cut and adhered it to the card. I die cut the Sweet Tiny Flowers die and used one of them to replace the i’s in the sentiment! I added a Doodlbug Sprinkle to the flowers.

To finish off I die cut a bow from Pretty Bows and added it below the sentiment – love a pink girly card!!!

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
