Welcome Baby – Simon Says Stamp Falling For You Release

28.04.2015 by 6 Comments

I recently became an Aunty for the 10th time!!  My gorgeous little niece, Chloe was born on 6th April and she is just GORGEOUS.  Today I’m sharing a card I made to welcome her into the family.  I used the new Baby Party Animals set from the fabby Falling For You release along with the new Diagonal Stripe background stamp, Stitched Circles dies and Stitched Slopes and Hills.  The gorgeous sequins in the shaker are the Phosphorescence Mix from Lucy’s Cards – LOVE them!

You Have My Heart

The day has finally arrived!  The new Simon Says Stamp Falling For You release is LIVE!

I’m excited to be sharing a card today featuring a gorgeous new set from Simon Says Stamp called Lila’s Heart.  This is a sweet little stamp stamp set designed by Shari Carroll and the gorgeous little girl is inspired by Jennifer McGuire’s little daughter – how sweet!  I created my front shaker panel  by first stamping the new Diagonal Stripes background in Versamark and then heat embossing using Ranger Enchanted Gold powder.  I die cut the panel using dies from the Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Squares and adhered a piece of vellum to create the window.  For my shaker element I used some gorgeous gold sequins and confetti from Lucy’s Cards.  For little Lila, I simply stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her with Copics.  I fussy cut her as I don’t own the co-ordinating dies right now and used a Versamark pen to emboss the heart with the same gold powder I used for the stripes.  She was mounted with some foam tape and the card was finished off with the sentiment stamped in Gold Delicata ink onto one of the Simon Says Stamp Tilted Banners.

April 2015 CK

Hello there!  I FINALLY got a chance to play with the SCRUMPTIOUS Simon Says Stamp April Card Kit!  I’ve been so busy over the Easter holidays with quite a few deadlines to meet and my poor kit sat there on the perimeter of my desk calling me “use, me, use me”!!  So, as soon as I got a minute I pulled it out and had a play.  I have another couple of cards in progress (shame work has to go and spoil things – humph) but this is my first one so thought I’d get on with sharing it.

April CK 1

 

I LOVE the foiled kraft papers in this kit – I don’t think this gold trend is going anywhere soon!  I used one of my new acquisitions – the Pretty Pink Posh Sitched Banner Duo die to die cut the centre panel.  I stamped the candle from the fabulous stamp set included in the kit onto vellum  (I LOVE this stamp set!!) and embossed them in gold and then created a little shaker window with some yummy sequins from my chum Lucy (see Lucy’s new Folksy shop for these sequin mixes – they are fantastic!).  For my inky background panel I gathered my distress inks and blended and blended until I had a really intense orangey design.  I splattered some Heidi Swapp gold spray and love how it kinda looks like bokeh?  Or is it me, lol!!  Finally I stamped and embossed the big sentiment from the stamp set on the bottom and adhered the lot to a top folding A2 card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
