More Simon Says Stamp dies – my new favourite!

23.10.2014 by 2 Comments

Did I mention how much I love the new die collections from Simon Says Stamp??  No?  Well i LOOOOOOVE them – I mean, REALLY love them!  The little houses from the Village set and the Stitched Slopes and Hills – they’re amazing!  I know there are lots of other companies out there with similar things (I have quite a few and love them all too) but there’s something about the SSS ones – the addition of the stitch-only dies for the slopes….genius!!  What a world of options they open up!!

Winter village 1I used the Village and slopes dies on my card today – such an easy design to create yet  SOOO Christmassy and simple to mass produce – imagine the different colour options?  The added bling of sequins just adds the right amount of sparkle too!  I think I’ll be making quite a few of these this year!!

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

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

GET CRAFTY AND USE KRAFT 

We are showcasing HERO ARTS  Products this week, you don’t have to use them but if you do 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

We have been a very lucky design team this week – the fabulous peeps at Hero Arts sent us all some amazing goodies to play with and I was lucky enough to receive the Christmas Crystals stamp set and a fabulous cling background stamp (so sorry – I don’t know the name of it!!).

I stamped the kraft panel in Versamark and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder.  I then stamped and embossed the three ornaments in gold and added glitter to the different facets in shades of blue and green.  As you know – glitter is murder to capture in a photo!!  I added a coat of Glossy Accents over the top so the whole thing is SUPER shiny!!
