We are showcasing DOODLEBUG 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

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

I had so much fun creating this card – as soon as I saw the In My Heart stamp set from Mama Elephant, I immediately envisioned this little girl popping up out of the cupcake (from Carnival Cupcakes, also by Mama Elephant). I had to practice a few times to get it right but once I had figured out the logistics it all came together perfectly! I thought the Doodlebug Springtime paper pad with all of it’s gorgeous happy colours and patterns would be perfect to use on this card and of course the sprinkles are just the icing on the cake (literally!!!). Just pull up the candle and out she pops – love it!

The rest of the Simon Wednesday Challenge team have knocked it out of the park this week with their creations so be sure to visit them all and spread a little lurve!

Been playing in my crafty space with the gorgeous Mama Elephant PANDAMONIUM stamp set and, what I now know to be a retired stencil from Memory Box! I ran my card panel through my Big Shot to emboss the design before blending a combination of distress ink in Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar onto the raised pattern.

The wee pandas were then stamped and die cut (I love them SO much) and placed with a simple heart between them (coated in glossy accents). The sentiment has been stamped onto a word bubble die cut (from Talk Bubbles by Simon Says Stamp).

This is the first card I’ve shared in AGES that hasn’t been a DT project – feels very weird!!

Thanks for dropping by!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Make It Sparkle

06.08.2014 by Caryn Davies 11 Comments

Hi there – today is Wednesday so here we go with a new challenge over at the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge blog. The theme of this week’s challenge is MAKE IT SPARKLE and we’re showcasing products from Jane’s Doodles and Technique Tuesday. Sadly I don’t yet possess any of those products so I have used some other fantastic products available from Simon Says Stamp by Mama Elephant.

As you can probably guess from the title of my blog – i LOVE anything glittery and sparkly so I’m particularly excited to see what you all come up with this week!!!

For my card I used the gorgeous Up and Away set from Mama Elephant and added lots of sparkle by colouring the balloons in first with Copics and then with a quickie glue pen and finally a dusting of Prisma Glitter! I also added a wee touch to the scalloped edge.

And as always, the AMAZINGLY generous peeps at Simon Says Stamp always love to reward your efforts with an awesome $50 gift voucher for one one lucky, randomly drawn participant! Yay!!
