Totally Resistible

There are so many resist techniques that we can use! We will be looking forward to seeing what you use to resist!

This week we are showcasing Impression Obsession Products You don’t have to use them for 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

Aw, Christmas is definitely in the air for me (and my long-suffering family) now! I’ve started my shopping and planning and am starting to get SO excited! I have another Christmas card to share this week and thought the gorgeous Birch Block 2 stamp from Impression Obsession would make a great winter backdrop for my little deer (from Storybook by Avery Elle). I stamped it using Versamark onto vellum and heat embossed it in white. I then used Distress inks over the top to add the subtle blue background colour (that’s my resist technique). I created a frame using the Double Pierced Squares (Avery Elle) and added a cluster of sparkling clear sequins (my favourite Moonshine mix from Simon Says Stamp). The sentiment and snowflake (which I LOVE) are from the STAMPtember release collaboration with Avery Elle.

Simon Says … Halloween Inspiration

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

Thank you for joining us for the Anything Goes Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Halloween Inspiration

the lovely Jenn Shurkus has made us this fabulous Inspiration Board to use. We don’t necessarily have to make a Halloween creation, we can use the board however we like

This week we are showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp Products You don’t have to use them for 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

Don’t you just love this inspiration board? Jenn did an amazing job picking some PURRFECT spooky images and I was naturally drawn to the cat silhouette! I blended my orange background using Distress inks and then used a partial die-cutting technique to create the aperture with the cat sitting just like in the photo above! I added some little stars from Retro Ornaments and the Boo sentiment from Bag It and Tag It from Taylored Expressions before adding a light layer of shimmer. It’s so sparkly in real life!

aechibibloghopbanner

Avery Elle and Chibitronics are pairing up for a fun collaboration today. Chibitronics has products that we can use to easily illuminate our cards, paper crafts, textiles, and more. They are so cool! Be sure to check out their website for videos, tutorials, examples and templates.

We are giving away one Chibitronics STEM Starter Kit as well. Just comment on this post or one of the design team members posts by Midnight, PST October 9th to be entered to win. There is no purchase necessary and you must be 18 years of age or older to enter. This giveaway is void where prohibited. Winner will be announced on the Avery Elle blog on Monday, October 10th.

You should have arrived here from the awesome blog of Karolyn Loncon – I bet you LOVED her amazing card! I have another cool, interactive card to share with you and MAN was it fun to make! I’m not going to lie, when I first saw the Chibi Tronics box I was nervous (I spent most of my Physics lessons at school crying in the back row praying it would all be over soon)!! I needn’t have been worried – these kits are super easy to use and when that little light goes on it’s so exciting! I brought together a few stamp and die sets to create this card (listed below). I thought the little bobble on the end of the cat’s hat would be the idea place for a light to go. Fun or WHAT??!
