Simon Says … Create Joy!!

Create Joy

 

YAY!  It’s here!  The new Simon Says Stamp Create Joy Release is live and ready to order!  There are so many fabulous products in this release – I just don’t know where to start!  This big Ornament Wreath is amazing!  At first I had no idea what I would do with it – it’s not a small die!  But then I decided to keep it simple, have a nice, frosty, water coloured background and just add a few sequins for some bling.  The sentiment is from another gorgeous set, So Very Merry.  In hind sight I think I’d have chosen a bolder sentiment but I was dying to stamp this one, lol!!  I embossed it in white, isn’t it gorgeous!?

There’s a fab blog hop tomorrow which I can’t wait to see – I know I’m going to be broke by the end of it though, lol!

Thanks for dropping by.

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.

 This is a scheduled post as I’m currently sunning myself in Australia and hopefully enjoying a long drink with a twist of ice and lemon!  I guess that was what I was dreaming about when I designed this card – hehe!  I used water colour paint to create the background then heat embossed the citrus sliced in white before painting them too!
