Simon Says Stamp January 2016 Card Kit – thank you jet lag!

So, it’s 11pm on a Monday night. I have work in the morning but my time zone is somewhere on the Pacific coast of America. I haven’t slept properly since I got home and I’m WIDE AWAKE! What is a girl to do?? I know, grab that AWESOME January 2016 card kit from Simon Says Stamp that I’ve had no time to play with and get crafting. Here’s what happened!

All the supplies used in these cards are in the kit (with the exception of the Wonky Stitches die which is from Avery Elle – I can’t not use it every time I craft!!).

Avery Elle… Viking

Sorry I’m posting this a day late – it should’ve gone up yesterday! My pattern is still totally off since returning from CHA in Anaheim – this jet lag is really something else!! I can’t say I’m complaining though – I had the BEST time in the world. Meeting up and getting to know some of my other Avery Elle teamies was just amazing. Love those girls Jamie, Heather, Karolyn and Katie.

So onto today’s card. I’ve been playing with the cuter-than-all-get-out Viking set and I LOVE it. So fun to colour and at only $4 is a must-have!

Viking

How adorable is he?? This is a wee 4-bar sized card and I used the smaller Wonky Stitches frame on some woodgrain cardstock for my panel. He was coloured with Copics then mounted on foam tape. The hearts were stamped and cut using some red cardstock then I filled them in with a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Simon Says … Ombre

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Something New Challenge and we hope you will join in with our new theme!

This week the challenge is

OMBRE

The definition of ombre is the French word for color that is shaded or graduated in tone.

We are showcasing HERO ARTS PRODUCTS this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I kept it clean and simple with my card this week using the fab Stamp Your Own Cactus set from Hero Arts. I also used another of my favourite Hero Arts products, the Ombre ink pads. I definitely don’t use these enough!!

I’m just catching up with life after an amazing trip to California and the CHA Mega show. What an amazing experience that I will never forget. I met so many awesome peeps and saw so much crafty fabulousness!! It was so much fun.
