Simon Says …All Creatures Great and Small

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I’m loving the smaller scale of these little 4-bar sized cards I’ve been making recently – they’re so cute! For my interpretation of the challenge I looked to the smallest creatures of all – microbes! In a previous life I obtained a degree in microbiology so this stamp set, Healthy Vibes from Paper Smooches is really quite appropriate!! I stamped each of the bugs onto a sheet of gorgeous Taylored Expressions paper from the new Rainbow Brights paper pack and fussy cut them out. I then took the Borders 1 dies and cut my white front card panel across the bottom third with one of the dies (the heartbeat one – no idea of the technical name??). With a strip of one of the other papers from the same pack I placed it behind the gap. I then simply stamped the greeting and popped the little bugs onto the front with foam adhesive and added some googly eyes – for which I never need an excuse!!!

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

You have until Wed 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in

Clearly Besotted, the MISTI and a video!

Hey – so as one of my 2015 goals I fancied having a go at making some more videos and today I’m sharing my first one. I have created a fairly simple card using the MISTI (Most Impressive Stamp Tool Invented)- if you haven’t come across this tool yet then check it out at My Sweet Petunia. Iliana has a ton of great videos showing all the things you can use the MISTI for so I recommend you take a look. Simon Says Stamp also stock it but it is currently on reserve – the demand has been enormous! For my card I used one of the brand new stamp sets from Clearly Besotted (available to purchase at 10pm tomorrow night – 5th Feb) called Simple Silhouettes. If you watch my video – please be gentle – I know I say “umm” a lot, I need to work on that!! Here’s my card:

and here’s the video.

Simon Says … Anything Goes

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

Thank you for joining us for the Have a Heart Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher

This week the challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

We are showcasing CLEARLY BESOTTED AND LIL’ INKER DESIGNS 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

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Of course I HAD to work with some of my gorgeous Clearly Besotted products for this challenge – how could I not?? I used one of the new stamp sets from the January 2015 release – Baby Shower. I stamped the elephant on linen cardstock with Raspberry pigment ink from Avery Elle. I love the textured effect – it looks like the elephant is made of fabric! I made this card for a friend who recently had his frst baby so to personalise it I used the new Elle’s Alphas stamps for the date and Lawn Fawn’s Milo’s ABC’s for the name. I created the aperture using the Simon Says Stamp stiched circles.
