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!

New Something

I’ve combined a few of my favourite Simon Says Stamp exclusive products to create this card ( I actually sneaked it on Periscope a couple of weeks ago if you saw it!!).  The paper and adhesive sequins are from the December Card Kit and then I used the cute kitty from Christmas Cats (LOVE this set).  I created an aperture using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles dies and the kitty was coloured with copics and a bit of added sparkle with some Stickles.

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

Thank you for joining us for the Let It Snow Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

TAG IT

We are showcasing Tim Holtz 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, the Tim Holtz featured challenges give me nightmares!  I ALWAYS struggle with the grungy style so I do tend to shy away from it.  My project manages to feature a fun TH stencil AND remains clean and simple (and super glittery of course!  I die cut a couple of tags from the Simon Says Stamp Large Tags dies and covered it with a layer of a gorgeous glitter embossing paste using the Holiday Knit TH stencil.  This is such a great (and quick) effect and I think I’ll be using it LOADS for the last few Christmas cards I need to make (like, 50!!!).  For the centre of the tag I used the Circle Sentiments from Simon Says Stamp and embossed it in silver before die cutting it with the Stitched Circle Dies (also from Simon)!  For a last touch of sparkle I used a little rhinestone on the centre of the snowflake.

I thought whilst I had all my stuff out I’d create a matching card to go with the gift tag – makes everything look quite classy I think!!!
