Oh Em Gee!  It’s here!  I love STAMPtember – I get excited about it every year and this year is no different!  I’ve had a wee play with one of the sets which is just right up my street!  I love a wee glass of wine (or two) now and then.  In fact, as you’re reading this I’ll be enjoying the last couple of days of our summer holiday on the island of Crete!  I dare say I’ll be sipping a nice cool vino too!

I made a couple of wine bottle tags (using the Large Tags Dies from Simon Says Stamp) and tied them onto the bottles – makes a quick and easy gift, don’t you think?  For the red one I added a coating of glossy accents and for the Champagne tag I added a few touches of glitter to the grapes.  Don’t you love those sentiments?  I couldn’t agree more!stamptember 3b

One of my favourite products in the STAMPtember release is the GORGEOUS mini set Hello Friend.  For a wee set it packs a lot of punch!  The possibilities are endless with this set and I am totally in LOVE with the sentiments.  I started by creating a white panel slightly smaller than my A2 card base and used Post-It tape to mask off a strip across the bottom half.  I blended a combination of Duckling and Sunshine dye ink from Simon Says Stamp over the tape and then stamped the flowers randomly along the edge to create a border.  I removed the tape (LOVE that bit) and stamped the fun “thanks” sentiment in the negative space.

The STAMPtember release had LOTS of gorgeous products that celebrate Thanksgiving and giving thanks in general.  I love the Clearly Besotted/Simon Says Stamp collaboration stamp sets and the Wreath set is just perfect for a Thank You card design.  I stamped and embossed one of the wreaths in gold on cream card (can’t get enough of gold at the moment!) and then die cut it.  The little pine cones are stamped in Avery Elle Truffle pigment ink and then highlighted (which of course you can’t see in the photo) with little touches of gold Wink of Stella ink.  I scored a few lines on the top part of the cream card base and then splatted a few spots of Heidi Swapp gold colour shine on to it.  I made a little bow out of some DMC fine gold thread for the wreath and also wrapped some around the top of the card.  I cut the Thanks Card Die  from kraft cardstock and then assembled everything together.

Thanks

I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week – make sure you visit the rest of the design team for lots more gorgeous inspiration.

There are fabulous Give Aways and inspiration from fabulous designers on a daily basis over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog , if you haven’t subscribed by email you may want to so you don’t miss out
