It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month!! time to get your breasts checked ladies, if you haven’t already done so!!

We’re showcasing Pink and Main 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.

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Emboss It Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

I started my pink explosion by creating a panel using Distress Watercolour card and some Distress Oxide inks in Tattered Rose and Spun Sugar. I die cut this using the Simon Says Stamp A2 Rectangle Dies.

I created a big, bold pink peony using the Gina K Designs Layered Peony Stencil Set using Concord and 9th inks and then fussy cut it out and layered it onto the ink blended panel.

I then took the beautiful Pink and Main Cheers Dies (obviously I chose the Congrats sentiment) and die cut the word twice from two shades of pink Concord and 9th cardstock layering them up then offsetting them before gluing onto the card panel. I splattered the whole panel with Simon Says Stamp White Splatter Medium and popped the panel onto an A2 white card base.

Simon Says … Anything Goes featuring Gina K

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Its a date Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

We are showcasing Gina K 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.

When I saw the gorgeous Layered Peony Stencil set I immediately thought that I could make a succulent too! The shape of the leaves reminded me of those lovely pink tipped cacti so I thought I’d give it a try and I think it turned out great! I only used one of the stencils – I didn’t use the second layer which adds the details and creates a beautiful peony (my favourite flower actually)

I used Concord & 9th ink in Sprout and Honeysuckle blending the two colours carefully. I stamped a sentiment using CZ Design Birthday Basics in Honeysuckle ink and finished with some droplets of Glossy Accents to look like rain drops!

Simon Says … It’s a date (add a number) featuring CZ Designs

Image

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Layer It Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

We are showcasing CZ Design 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.

I created a couple of Christmas cards for this week’s challenge – got to get ahead if I want to be organised!! Both cards have a background using paper from the Photorealistic Paper Pad from Studio Light – this pad has so many gorgeous natural wood and stone designs. I used the CZ Design Merry & Bright Stamp set on both cards – there is a great range of sentiments in this set and there’s co ordinating dies too!

For the focal point on each card I used the Barn Star Wreath Dies Collection from Spellbinders. I die cut all my elements and arranged them to create the design and adhered it to the card front. My “add a number” part of this challenge is in the form of a sticker from the Tim Holtz Christmas Sticker Book and on the second card I used a small element from a Tim Holtz Christmas Ephemera pack!
