Simon Says … Add a Heart featuring Penny Black

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 Penny Black 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’m still in Valentine mode so went for a favourite colour combo – red, pink and white. I pulled out my favourite Tim Holtz Shifter Diamonds stencil to create a custom patterned cardstock sheet using Distress inks Candy Apple and Kitsch Flamingo. I die cut a heart using the Simon Says Stamp Basic Hearts Die set and added some shading and splatter. I used the XOXO from Penny Black Heart Shine Stick and Shine Sheets and some red glitter foil.

I used the Gina K Heart stencil on some Carbation cardstock from Concord and 9th to make a mat layer and added a few star sequins for a bit more sparkle!!

Simon Says … Anything Goes featuring Pink and Main

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

This week the challenge is

We are showcasing Pink and Main 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’m in my pink era at the moment so a Pink and Main focused challenge is perfect! I’ve also rediscovered my love of toner foiling and Pink and Main have a fantastic selection of foils to chose from – obsessed!

I created my sentiment by printing a sheet of solid black on my laser printer. I then ran this through my Heidi Swapp Minc machine using Pink and Main Sparkle Pink Cheerfoil to give me a full sheet of sparkly joy!! I then used the Pink and Main Cheers Word Dies to die cut the word Congrats from it and 3 times from white card to stack to create a dimensional sentiment.

My background panel was created using a smooshing technique on Tim Holtz Watercolour card, distress oxde inks and Distress Spritz sprays. When dry I used the Sparkle Stencil with Translucent Distress Paste and Rock Candy Glitter to give it a touch more sparkle!

Simon Says … Use Stencils

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

This week the challenge is

We are showcasing Simon Says Stamp 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 have had a blast using the new Heart To Heart release products and one of my favourites is the Love City stencil set. It is SO versatile – you can use all 3 as I have done on 3 of my cards or any one of them on their own to create cool patterns.

Ive used several other products from including the “must have” Basic Hearts dies, the Heart Suite Stamps and Dies, the Snow and Stars Embossing Folder and the beautiful Flourish Heart Die.
