Aw, Christmas is definitely in the air for me (and my long-suffering family) now! I’ve started my shopping and planning and am starting to get SO excited! I have another Christmas card to share this week and thought the gorgeous Birch Block 2 stamp from Impression Obsession would make a great winter backdrop for my little deer (from Storybook by Avery Elle). I stamped it using Versamark onto vellum and heat embossed it in white. I then used Distress inks over the top to add the subtle blue background colour (that’s my resist technique). I created a frame using the Double Pierced Squares (Avery Elle) and added a cluster of sparkling clear sequins (my favourite Moonshine mix from Simon Says Stamp). The sentiment and snowflake (which I LOVE) are from the STAMPtember release collaboration with Avery Elle.

Simon Says … Something New

06.01.2016 by Caryn Davies 9 Comments

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

Thank you for joining us for the Party Challenge and we would like to wish you a Very Happy New Year!

This week the challenge is

SOMETHING NEW

We are showcasing Wplus9 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 this goes live I will (hopefully) be somewhere over the Atlantic on my way to CHA! I have been looking forward to this day for MONTHS and will have lots of photos to share whilst I’m there. Make sure you’re following me on Facebook and Periscope (Glittermesilly) if you fancy catching any of the gossip!!

For my card this week I’ve paired (geddit??) a gorgeous sentiment from the recently released So Very Merry stamp set with the gorgeous WPlus9 Pear Stackers (LOVE this little set of dies). Of COURSE I managed to add some foiling into the design this time making use of the Heidi Swapp Toner Pen (I ran it around the edge of my mat and on the leaf and stalk of the pen) before running it through the Minc with gold foil. I spritzed the panel with Heidi Swapp Gold Lame spray and added some onto the pear (which I coloured with Distress Inks in Crushed Olive and Worn Lipstick). I stamped the sentiment in Versamark before embossing it in Gold and finishing off with some thread and a few strategically placed sequins!

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

Simon Says … Thanks/Thanksgiving

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

This week the challenge is

THANKS/THANKSGIVING

Hey there, it’s time to be thankful on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog this week. It’s that lovely time of year where everything’s turning and the nights are for cosying up in front of the fire with a hot drink and a blankie!! Bliss!

For my card this week I kept it very simple although a wee bit of work went into it to colour that apple (three attempts before I was happy, lol!). I was totally inspired by the way my idol Debby Hughes coloured this stamp and so I went with her lead and smothered it in Glossy Accents too! To ground the image and add a little more interest I just framed the card with a free hand border drawn with a Copic multi liner pen.
