I have a card today using the fabulous Hogs and Kisses stamp set from Avery Elle – isn’t it amazing? Love the little faces on the Valentine’s critters – especially the piggy!! I used the pierced rectangles and some new dies coming at the end of February – pierced clouds!! Thought I’d go for a more non-traditional approach to my Valentine’s card for hubby this year – no pinks or reds this time!! I coloured the images with Copics and popped the hearts up for a bit more dimension.
Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
Thank you for joining us for the One Layer Challenge and we hope you will join in with our new theme!
This week the challenge is
For this challenge we would like to see some shaker style creations, you can shake some ink sprays and give your projects a spritz or use an action wobble to make something shake! Whatever you decide to shake we will be looking forward to seeing it!
We are showcasing WE R MEMORY KEEPERS 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 always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
I’m going all gold-tastic this week and it all started with the acetate pad from We R Memory Keepers! Whilst I was perusing the Simon Says Stamp store looking for something fun for this challenge I stumbled across this 6×6 pad of acetate – it has 4 different patterns (stripes, spots, leopard print and dotty chevrons) in gold, silver and black and it’s AHHHH-MAZING! My first thought was to use the acetate for the window on a shaker card but then I decided I’d used it as a layer on my card instead. I made a 4 1/4x x 5″ card from Neenah Solar White 110lb card and cut a piece of the gold spotty acetate to the same width (i didn’t trim anything off the length). I then scored this at the top and folded it over adhering it just on the back so it hangs sort of loose on the front (if that makes sense??). My window is just made from vellum using the stitched circles as a frame na d filled it with confetti from this months (Feb) SSS Card Kit. I die cut the Sending die from gold glitter card and used the sentiment from the co-ordinating stamp set embossed in gold.
So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
If you use instagram add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too!
I had a jolly good play with the Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit the other day – isn’t it GORGEOUS??! I LOVE the sticker sheets that come in the kit and the beautiful Crate Paper papers! I recently bought some Press N Seal from Simon Says Stamp and it was the PERFECT thing for picking up these stickers in one go and allowing perfect placement of all the li’ bits!! I used it on the second card for the Valentine letters too – awesome stuff!!
This last card doesn’t use any of the papers or embellishments and just features the fabulous stamp set that comes in the kit – love the fonts!
