Sparkle and Shine!

Dec-2014-CardKit

I’m absolutely LOVING the December Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp.  The cool colours are so perfect for this time of year and the embossing powders included in the kit are amazing.

Dec CK 14 1

The stamp set is full of fabulous sentiments and images – I know I’m going to get endless use out of that Sparkle and Shine sentiment, the font is gorgeous.

I have another card created using the kit to share with you later in the week and will back tomorrow with my SSS Wednesday Challenge card.

Thanks for stopping by xxx

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

Thank you for joining us for the  We’re Seeing Stars Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

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

THANKS/THANKSGIVING

We are showcasing our very own SIMON SAYS STAMP 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

The STAMPtember release had LOTS of gorgeous products that celebrate Thanksgiving and giving thanks in general.  I love the Clearly Besotted/Simon Says Stamp collaboration stamp sets and the Wreath set is just perfect for a Thank You card design.  I stamped and embossed one of the wreaths in gold on cream card (can’t get enough of gold at the moment!) and then die cut it.  The little pine cones are stamped in Avery Elle Truffle pigment ink and then highlighted (which of course you can’t see in the photo) with little touches of gold Wink of Stella ink.  I scored a few lines on the top part of the cream card base and then splatted a few spots of Heidi Swapp gold colour shine on to it.  I made a little bow out of some DMC fine gold thread for the wreath and also wrapped some around the top of the card.  I cut the Thanks Card Die  from kraft cardstock and then assembled everything together.

Thanks

I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week – make sure you visit the rest of the design team for lots more gorgeous inspiration.

There are fabulous Give Aways and inspiration from fabulous designers on a daily basis over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog , if you haven’t subscribed by email you may want to so you don’t miss out

SSS Stephanie’s Birthday Blog Hop !!

04.11.2014 by 254 Comments

Celebrate release Hop

Hello there – today is a very special day – we are celebrating the birthday of the absolutely gorgeous Stephanie Lekauf – Marketing Director of Simon Says Stamp with a fabulous blog hop! I had the absolute honour of meeting Stephanie and Heidi in London a couple of weeks ago and can honestly say that they are both the sweetest girls you could meet.  Whilst Stephanie was away powdering her nose, Heidi slipped the rest of us (yes – a lot of the Wednesday team were there too – along with two of my besties Stephanie Wincott and Debby Hughes) a fabulous CELEBRATION stamp and die set designed in honour of the birthday girl.

Celebrate blog hop

It doesn’t come across so well in the picture but I coated the card in a mist of shimmer before adding the balloons and crystals.  Although it looks kind of masculine – it’s very pretty and shimmery in real life – honest!!

So are you ready to carry on hopping?  You should have arrived here from the Simon Says Stamp Blog and your next stop is the lovely Jo Neville (pictured below) but if you get lost anywhere along the way just pop back to the Simon Says Stamp Blog and start from the beginning.

There will be one of Simon’s Fabulous Grab Bags to give away on every blog ! All you have to do is  leave a comment on each of the blog posts (including this one) as you hop along to be entered in the random draws.  You have until Sunday 9th November 12 midday EST to join in!

And just to finish, here’s a wee picture of some of us after our fabulous lunch in London.
