I recently picked up this fabulous die set, the WPlus9 Pear Stackers from Simon Says Stamp and thought it would be perfect for an engagement card for my twin sister Susan who announced last week that she and her lovely boyfriend Pete are getting hitched next year! Woohoo!!!  I’m SO excited for them – and for the rest of us – who doesn’t love a good wedding?!!

I know it’s not your typical engagement card but I’m pretty sure she’ll appreciate it – they do make a perfect pair!  I started by sponging some Gold Delicata ink onto a panel of white card and then spritzed it with some Heidi Swapp Gold Lame spray.  I inked the edge of the panel with the gold ink too and stamped and embossed the sentiment in Ranger Gold ep.  I die cut the two larger pears and sponged on some Spun Sugar and Mowed Lawn Distress ink.  For the mottled effect I spritzed on some water and a few spots of the gold spray.  To finish off I added a bundle of gold thread underneath the pears and added some sequins for added bling!

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.

Hey there!  Another scheduled post from me as I’m currently grabbing some wifi time in our Bangkok hotel room!  Ah, it’s a hard life, lol!

Not that I want to even think about it but this week’s challenge is all about Back To School – booo!  I want all posts to be about Summer – yay! I created a simple Good Luck card using products from the Simon says Stamp May 2015 Card Kit – which is still available to purchase if you’re quick!  I used some of the patterned paper from the kit to cover the front of an A2 card and then cut a circle using the MFT Cross-Stitched Circle dies from Slate cardstock.  I used the gold letter stickers from the kit to spell out Good Luck and then mounted the circle onto the card using foam adhesive.
