The Perfect Day

I’ve been playing again with the Simon Says Stamp May Card kit and I am totally in love with the soft colours and gold accents – such a sophisticated palette.  I love the kits for being able to pull together a card that looks so professional and cohesive – I so enjoy getting them every month.

May CK 1 cuI used some of the stunning My Mind’s Eye papers and accented with a few extra bits of gold bling (some gold thread and sequins) and the card came together in no time.

I’m loving the sneak peeks we’re starting to see for the June kit too – can’t wait for that box of yumminess to land on my doorstep!!

I’m not gonna lie, whenever I see the words “Tim Holtz” a wee shiver of fear goes down my spine, lol!  I struggle to make his products look as good as everyone else does, not sure what it is – I think it’s the whole “grungy” thing!  Anyhoo, I decided I could still do Clean and Simple and use a Tim Holtz stamp!  So I grabbed the gorgeous Simon Says Stamp May card kit and created a simple card using this lovely sentiment stamp.  If you haven’t seen this kit ye then I urge you to check it out.  I love getting the monthly kits, they are always so inspiring and great for when your mojo needs a kick up the bum!!

THINGS THAT FLY

Spring will soon be here and our gardens will be buzzing with bees, butterflies, birds and all sorts of little insects. It is also at around this time of year that our thoughts turn to summer vacations and flying away to sunny locations ! There are so many options that you can use for this challenge !

We are showcasing AMERICAN CRAFTS 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 was inspired by the gorgeous black and yellow colour scheme in the March Simon Says Stamp kit so started with that by pulling out some card and polka dot patterned paper and of course the FABULOUS border die!  I’ve also been DIE-ing (geddit) to play with the Kite shaker die from the Hop To It release which of course ties in beautifully with our “Things That Fly” challenge theme.  I used some American Crafts twine to create the tail of the kite and filled the kite shaker with some white sequins.  After waiting for it on backorder I just got my Wishing sentiments stamps and dies and thought the font went perfectly with the kite theme.
