Wow – how can the weeks be flying by so quickly?  5 weeks to Christmas, can’t believe it!  Luckily the Wednesday Challenges are providing me with lots of excuses to make Christmas cards so I’m slowly but surely getting through them.  This week I’ve used a House Mouse stamp for the very first time and must say, they’re so cute!  They’re not usually the style I’d pick to be honest but I had loads of fun with this card.  I coloured the image with Copics and added some sparkle with the Spectrum Noir sparkle pens and a wee touch of Stickles.  To finish off I die cut some Poinsettias from the Simon Says Stamp, some greenery from Retro Ornaments by Avery Elle  and a circle sentiment also from Simon Says Stamp.

25 Days of Christmas Tags .. Day 4 Simon Says Stamp

04.11.2016 by 16 Comments

 

25-days

Greetings!  Today I’m honoured to be once again joining in alongside my Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog Buddies with the lovely Tracey McNeeley on DAY 4 her annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags event.  It is a special occasion for us too as both the Monday and Wednesday teams are playing along – woohoo.  The generous peeps at Simon Says Stamp are giving away a $50 store card as part of this wonderful festive event – so make sure you leave a comment for a chance to win.

I created a couple of Christmas tags using the ever-so-useful Stitched Dress Up Tags from Simon Says Stamp.  They’re the perfect size and so easy to create a gorgeous little gift tag for any occasion.  I’m loving the Sugar Plum paper pad from My Mind’s Eye (thanks Aimes for the recommendation).  I also used a gorgeous stamp set from a SSS release from last Christmas, Peace on Earth.  One of my all time favourite Simon dies is the Perfect Bow – I love every chance I get to use it – it’s PERFECT!

The rest of my Simon sisterhood are sharing some amazing tags on their blogs so please make sure you check them all out.

And thank you Tracey for hosting another year of this wonderful event and for allowing me to participate.  It’s always so fun and I for one get a TON of inspiration from visiting the blog every day!

Thanks for stopping by xxx

Thinking Of You

Ok, I know what you’re going to say … how does this card fit this week’s challenge theme of Thinking of You?  Well I can’t lie … it doesn’t!  I have been pretty up against it this week after being away on holiday last week, Halloween, my daughter’s birthday etc.  I had to make my card in a rush and whilst I have used a gorgeous Penny Black die, the actual challenge theme just went … poof.. right out the window, lol!!  I hope you like it anyway, lol!!
