Glitter Me Silly

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!!!

Anything Goes

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 fell in love with the Altenew Strawberry Patch dies. They are so fun and versatile. I die cut a bunch of them and created two cards – with more die cuts left over!

The first card I created using the Simon Says Stamp Basic Hearts Dies to make an aperture on a panel of card stencilled using the Tim Holtz Shifter Diamonds Stencil (my favourite).

I added a trim of ribbon to the inside of the aperture and then placed some of the die cut strawberries inside. To finish I added a sentiment using the Altenew Pocket Sentiments Stamps and co ordinating dies.

For the second card I created a panel using the Tim Holtz Large 3D Embossing Folder Lumbar then added the Strawberry die cuts onto it finishing with a sentiment using the Altenew Mini Sentiments Embossing Folder.
