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

This week the challenge is

Cute and Cuddly

We are showcasing Newton’s Nook Designs 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 creating a Rounded Rectangle card panel and used the Newton’s Nook Cascading Stars Stencil with Distress Cracked Pistachio Oxide ink to blend a background. I went over that with some Distress Translucent Texture Paste and set it aside to dry.

I die cut a frame using Avery Elle Rounded Rectangle dies (retired but a similar effect can be created using these Stitched Dies from Waffle Flower).I backed this with a square of vellum .

I then took the Avery Elle Pop Up Frenchie stamps and stamped him in black. Then to make him “cute and cuddly” I coated the black areas in Thermoweb Transfer Gel using a paint brush. After letting this dry for a few hours I ran it through my Minc with Black Velvet Flock Transfer Sheet. It leaves a gorgeous fuzzy feel to it!

One of my favourite things to do is add metallic foil to things! It’s messy and fiddly but the end result is so worth it. Tim Holtz ideaology is such a fun thing to use this technique with.

I created this card using Salvaged Heart and covered them in red metallic foil. I adhered one to a Distress watercolour card base that I added Distress inks to in a smooshy fashion!

Here I added foil in rainbow colours to some salvaged deer from Tim Holtz Ideaology!

The possibilities are truly endless!

This week the challenge is

Shake It Up

We are showcasing Pretty Pink Posh 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 I’m thinking I might have a bit of a sweet tooth when it comes to card making! After my chocolate box creation last week, here I am again with more! This time using the gorgeous Sweet Chocolates Stamps from Pretty Pink Posh. I stamped a bunch of them and started colouring. I made Strawberry treats, then I went with Chocolate orange and then mint chocolate!! The first two are shakers then the last one was just for fun!!!

I used stencilling, dies, fussy cutting and Copic colouring on all three cards and the same sentiment too.

Strawberry Treats: Pretty Pink Posh Sweet Chocolates, PPP Stitched Duo, SSS Large Dots Stencil.

Chocolate Orange: Simon Says Stamp Tiny Dots Stencil,

Mint Chocolate: Pretty Pink Posh Wide Stripe Stencil
