Simon Says … Go DIE crazy

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

Thank you for joining us for the STAMPtember® Stamp It Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

DIE CRAZY

you must use at least one die cut on your creation. If you don’t have any dies then you can used punched shapes.

We are showcasing W PLUS 9 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

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!

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 Clean and Simple Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week.

This week the challenge is…

ANYTHING GOES!

Yes, it’s your FAVORITE CHALLENGE!

We are showcasing PRIMA 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 on your projects.

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

Ah, I do love Anything Goes challenges! I can really go to town with whatever supplies take my fancy at that moment in time, lol! This week I have had my fancy tickled by some gorgeous new goodies I picked up on my last little shopping spree at Simon Says Stamp. I LOVE the WPlus9 Unforgettable stamp set. Argh, it’s just SO flippin cute I can’t bear it! Another treasure I’ve been coveting for ages is the Stitched Banner Duo from Pretty Pink Posh. Such a useful die to have on hand. I used it to cut some paper from Lawn Fawn’s Let’s Polka pad and also from vellum (but just the fishtail end, not the whole die). As I’m all about bling and this week we are all featuring Prima products, I’ve added some gorgeous little crystals for some essential sparkle. To keep that mood going I cut the (swoon-worthy) Wishing die using some silver glitter paper and also added a glittery wee bow to the elephants tail – love how he looks like he’s just dangling there! I stamped the little star cluster on my base card to give a dainty background pattern using Coral Reef ink from Simon Says Stamp and then finished off by stamping the “You a Happy Birthday” from the Sending and Wishing stamp set in Fog ink below the die cut.

So now it’s YOUR turn. Create something FABULOUS! It is, after all, ANYTHING GOES!

Have a great day!

I hope you are having a great day where ever you are. Some parts of the UK have been hit by awful flooding and winds so if you’re suffering – I hope you get some comfort and normality back soon.

We’re all doing ok here apart from a few bugs flying about the place this week – poorly tummy’s and sore throats – yuk! All appear to be on the mend now though – thank goodness. To banish those nasty winter bugs I made a card to brighten up the day and send some well wishes. I recently managed to get the fabby Wplus9 set, Milk and Cookies and so decided to make orange juice!!

The sentiment is from Tag Along by Clearly Besotted – thought it went well with this card! The “Step it up” challenge has been extended over at Dawn’s blog Stamp Away With Me so I thought I would enter this card over there. There’s quite a bit of dimension on this card with foam dots popping up the bottle and oranges and a good dollop of glossy accents too!
