 This is a scheduled post as I’m currently sunning myself in Australia and hopefully enjoying a long drink with a twist of ice and lemon!  I guess that was what I was dreaming about when I designed this card – hehe!  I used water colour paint to create the background then heat embossed the citrus sliced in white before painting them too!

Simon Says … Kids Summer Vacation Challenge

01.08.2015 by 8 Comments

 

Kid'sChallenge-01

 Hi all and welcome to another of our annual Simon Says Stamp Summer Vacation Kid’s Challenge where we host a special challenge dedicated to our young designers.

ANYTHING GOES 

It is time for all you crafters to let your children loose in your crafty corners for a few hours. Just close your eyes and set them free to explore their creativity 🙂 You are allowed to hide your Copic Markers and extra special papers and you are allowed to help just a little bit if necessary, but we really want the children to ‘DO IT’ themselves as much as possible 🙂

This challenge is open to all children aged between 2 and 16 inclusive.

We have not 1, not 2 but  3 surprise parcels of crafty goodies, hand picked by Simon!

For this challenge we have a very special Junior Design Team who I am sure you will agree have done an excellent job.

We have had a VERY busy few weeks prparing for our upcoming travels (more to come on that) but my youngest two, Pippa (7) and Sophie (11) managed to squeeze in some crafty time to make a card for the challenge!  Pippa made a birthday card for her Daddy. He loves monkeys (well, let’s say he has a love/hate relationship with them) so she picked this cute little critter from the Simon says Stamp Baby Party Animals set.  She coloured it with Copics and even used my MISTI to stamp everything in just the right place!

Sophie had a good root through all my stamps and loved this one – I think she designed her on herself with the blonde hair and spotty pjs!!).  She also used the MISTI and coloured the images with Copics (yes, I was holding my breath the entire time!!).

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

Thank you for joining us for the Furry Friends Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

GET IN SHAPE 

We don’t mean start a diet and exercise regime, haha, nothing as drastic as that we are just asking for no square or rectangle cards this week!

We are showcasing  LAWN FAWN 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 am IN LOVE with Lawn Fawn products so am so happy that the DT are featuring them this week.  One of the newest additions to my LF collection is So Jelly – I just love this set!  I thought it would pair very nicely with the Fish and Bowl dies from Simon Says Stamp so although this is a teeny little card, it’s as cute as a button!!

I coloured the jellies with Copics and used distress ink to blend a simple background.  I needed a short little sentiment to fit to decided to use the Milo’s ABC’s set to customise the card with the word Jello (as opposed to Hello – geddit??!!)!

get in shape

 

Can’t wait to see all the shaped cards this week!

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
