Well I had a wee bit of help from my son with this week’s card!  He’s an origami master and I saw him making bows (just randomly, like any 17 year old boy does) and thought – wow, I’ll have one of them!!  So I gave hime some Taylored Expressions polka dot paper (in green ofcourse) and voila – a beautiful folded bow!  The card didn’t need much more than that!!  Cute or what?!

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

This week the challenge is

Anything Goes 

This week we are showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Products this week. You don’t have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

I know we’re nearly at the end of February but I couldn’t resist sharing a Christmas card made with some of my all-time favourite products.  The Believe In The Season stamp set is probably my favourite Simon Says Stamp stamp set of all time – I absolutely love it.  Paired with the Gingham Background Cling Stamp and the Perfect Bow it creates a lovely, homey feel.  The deer was embossed with Gold Tinsel embossing powder – you don’t see the text detail of the stamp with this one but I don’t think that’s a problem!  The patterned paper I used is from My Mind’s Eye Sugar Plum paper pad which unfortunately is no longer available, but there are TONS of other papers that could be used for the same effect.

Merry and Bright 2

Simon Says … Cute

08.02.2017 by 7 Comments

New @simonsaysstamp Wednesday Challenge starts today – and it’s all about CUTE!Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the last week’s challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Cute

This week we are showcasing Wild Rose StudioProducts this week. You don’t have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

So I thought I’d pair this ADORABLY cute bear image from My Favourite Things with the sweet little sentiment from Wild Rose Studio – this is a great little set with a few extra flower images which I also used.  I created a cream card base for a change and stamped the Gingham Background from Simon Says Stamp in Kraft pigment ink from Avery Elle.  I stamped the bear in Barely Beige Dye ink and gave the “no-line colouring” technique another go (I seriously need so tips on that – #fail)!  To distract from the shoddy colouring I added some sparkle to the icing on the cake using a Spica pen and then a dollop of glossy accents on top for good measure!!  All products used are listed below!
