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

Thank you for joining us for the Let’s Get Sentimental Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

INSPIRATION COLOR SWATCH

Isn’t this ‘Sweet Treats’ Color Combination lovely ! Thank you Jenn for creating this awesome color swatch, those cupcakes sure do look yummy ! You can choose one or more colors from the swatch, they don’t have to be Simon’s Brand, but please try to get a close match.

We are showcasing our very own SIMON SAYS STAMP EXCLUSIVE 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 LOVE this colour combo and it goes perfectly with the Sweet Treats line from Simon Says Stamp. I stamped the Artful Flowers using ink pads from the Sweet Treats release (Doll Pink, Mint, Cotton Candy and Audrey Blue) and then fussy cut them out. The frame was created using the Stitched Rectangles dies and the sentiment is from Hand Lettered stamp set. The middle of the flowers are highlighted with a white gel pen and the sentiment is embossed in white also.

I hope you’re having a great day wherever you are.

So now it’s YOUR turn. Happy Crafting

Simon Says … Let’s get sentimental

06.05.2015 by Caryn Davies 18 Comments

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

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

This week the challenge is

LET’S GET SENTIMENTAL

Simply use a sentiment on your project ! There are so many fabulous sentiment stamps, dies, stencils, stickers etc that is is nice to let them take centre stage once in a while don’t you think ?

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 Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I’m not gonna lie, whenever I see the words “Tim Holtz” a wee shiver of fear goes down my spine, lol! I struggle to make his products look as good as everyone else does, not sure what it is – I think it’s the whole “grungy” thing! Anyhoo, I decided I could still do Clean and Simple and use a Tim Holtz stamp! So I grabbed the gorgeous Simon Says Stamp May card kit and created a simple card using this lovely sentiment stamp. If you haven’t seen this kit ye then I urge you to check it out. I love getting the monthly kits, they are always so inspiring and great for when your mojo needs a kick up the bum!!

Simon Says … Anything Goes

29.04.2015 by Caryn Davies 10 Comments

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

Thank you for joining us for the Clean and Simple Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week.

This week the challenge is…

ANYTHING GOES!

Yes, it’s your FAVORITE CHALLENGE!

We are showcasing PRIMA 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 on your projects.

As always, Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store.

Ah, I do love Anything Goes challenges! I can really go to town with whatever supplies take my fancy at that moment in time, lol! This week I have had my fancy tickled by some gorgeous new goodies I picked up on my last little shopping spree at Simon Says Stamp. I LOVE the WPlus9 Unforgettable stamp set. Argh, it’s just SO flippin cute I can’t bear it! Another treasure I’ve been coveting for ages is the Stitched Banner Duo from Pretty Pink Posh. Such a useful die to have on hand. I used it to cut some paper from Lawn Fawn’s Let’s Polka pad and also from vellum (but just the fishtail end, not the whole die). As I’m all about bling and this week we are all featuring Prima products, I’ve added some gorgeous little crystals for some essential sparkle. To keep that mood going I cut the (swoon-worthy) Wishing die using some silver glitter paper and also added a glittery wee bow to the elephants tail – love how he looks like he’s just dangling there! I stamped the little star cluster on my base card to give a dainty background pattern using Coral Reef ink from Simon Says Stamp and then finished off by stamping the “You a Happy Birthday” from the Sending and Wishing stamp set in Fog ink below the die cut.

So now it’s YOUR turn. Create something FABULOUS! It is, after all, ANYTHING GOES!
