Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Gifts Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too

We would like to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This challenge will last for 2 weeks and we will be back on the 1st January!

This week the challenge is

USE CRAFT DIES

We are showcasing Simon Says Stamp 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 have another festive card to share this week – will never get bored of making Christmas cards I don’t think!

I started with a forest green card base cut to A2 size. I then created a panel from kraft cardstock by stamping the Tim Holtz Perfect Plaids stamp in Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink and over the top used the Tim Holtz Poinsettia Layering Stencil with Transluscent Grit Paste. Once it was dry I used the Paper Distressing Tool by Tonic to rough the edges of the panel before adhering to the front of the card.

For the focal piece I used the Vault Festive Wreath die and cut various foliage elements using three different green cardstocks along with some pine cones. I added a little detail by blending with distress inks and a blending brush on the die cuts.

In the centre as a bold sentiment I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Believe die using kraft and red cardstock and layered them up before adhering to the front of the card.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $25 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
