So, it’s 11pm on a Monday night. I have work in the morning but my time zone is somewhere on the Pacific coast of America. I haven’t slept properly since I got home and I’m WIDE AWAKE! What is a girl to do?? I know, grab that AWESOME January 2016 card kit from Simon Says Stamp that I’ve had no time to play with and get crafting. Here’s what happened!

All the supplies used in these cards are in the kit (with the exception of the Wonky Stitches die which is from Avery Elle – I can’t not use it every time I craft!!).

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

This week the challenge is

OMBRE

The definition of ombre is the French word for color that is shaded or graduated in tone.

We are showcasing HERO ARTS PRODUCTS this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used!

I kept it clean and simple with my card this week using the fab Stamp Your Own Cactus set from Hero Arts. I also used another of my favourite Hero Arts products, the Ombre ink pads. I definitely don’t use these enough!!

I’m just catching up with life after an amazing trip to California and the CHA Mega show. What an amazing experience that I will never forget. I met so many awesome peeps and saw so much crafty fabulousness!! It was so much fun.

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

Simon Says … Something New

06.01.2016 by Caryn Davies 9 Comments

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

Thank you for joining us for the Party Challenge and we would like to wish you a Very Happy New Year!

This week the challenge is

SOMETHING NEW

We are showcasing Wplus9 Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used!

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!
