Hello, all! Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

Thank you for joining us for the Father’s Day/For A Guy Challenge! We loved seeing your fun and innovative designs this week! Please join us this week for our brand new challenge!

This week the challenge is…

ANIMAL MAGIC

We are looking to the animal kingdom for inspiration for our ‘Animal Magic’ projects! From butterflies to buffalos, kittens to kingfishers, we will be looking forward to see which animal you choose for your project!

Many of us have fur babies that are very much a part of our family and we would love to know what little critters live with you! Maybe you could add photo’s of them on your post too!

We are showcasing Paper Smooches 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.

It’s fair to say, I’m a cat person.  I do love dogs (and all animals really) but deep down I would love to come back as a cat – they have the best lifestyles!!  My card is dedicated to my most favourite cat of all time and we tragically lost her just a few months ago to a car accident.  Her name was Talullah and she was a black Persian cross.  I’ve never known a cat to be so loving so I was devastated when she died 🙁  My card uses the Cat Icons Wise Dies from Paper Smooches and I simply die cut the cat and fish bones from black card.  I cut the eyes from purple glitter card for some added sparkle!  I think it looks quite Halloweeny with the orange background!

And here’s wee Talullah – miss you my little fur ball xxx

Hello, friends! Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog!

Thank you for joining us for the Have A Heart Challenge. We hope you will join in with our new theme!

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher!

This week the challenge is…

One Layer!

For this challenge you may add die cut pieces and embellishments but the front of the card should look like one layer. We know this one can be tricky for some folks, but we also know you guys ROCK OUR SOCKS every week, so we can’t WAIT to see what you do with the One Layer challenge! Your designs inspire us! Show us what you can do!

We are showcasing PAPER SMOOCHES 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! Paper Smooches offers a wide variety of stamps including cuteness, pretty designs, every day basics, and amazing sentiments! Be sure to check out their latest to see what you may need to add to your collection!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store! I think that would be pretty fun to spend, how about you? *wink*

So it’s fair to say, the term “one layer” seems to be open to interpretation as we have discovered this week in the Simon Wednesday Challenge team talks!!!  Whatever your idea, we don’t want to see more than one layer (that’s my take anyway!!)!  We’re featuring Paper Smooches this week and I just HAD to break out my latest PS purchase – the Sushi die.  I have the stamp set that the sushi image comes from (Calorie Free) and use that image LOADS.  When I saw the die (it’s not a co-ordinating die by the way) I had to have it!

To add detail without the layers I added the pierced circles (Avery Elle) to my base card.  I then cut a strip of green card and die cut both edges with one of the MFT grassy border dies.  The Sushi was die cut from various colours and was re-assembled and then inlaid to the card front.  This gives the impression of layers without the “bulk”!  I finished off with a simple sentiment from Clearly Besotted’s A Little Sentimental stamp set.

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher

This week the challenge is

TIE IT UP

This week I’ve used my favourite paper Smooches set of all time – Calorie Free.  I love the images in this set and particularly like the sushi one!  I was recently lucky enough to receive a GORGEOUS bouquet of flowers which were tied with a raffia bow.  I thought I could turn some of the raffia into a little sushi rolling mat so laid down some double sided tape and added strips  to it.  When I had enough down I trimmed down the side and added some black twine to finish it off.  For the sentiment (Japanese for Thank You I believe) I used Lawn Fawn’s Milo’s ABC’s.
