Decided I wanted a shaped card for this week so I die cut my panels and embossed my top panel using a Simon Says Stamp 3D Embossing folder then glued the two pieces together.  

I die cut my flower pieces and ink blended all of my parts then put the flower together then added it to the top panel using a mix of glue and foam tape. I then die cut my pieces for the Friend die.

I glued the sentiment to the panel then white embossed my miss you sentiment and added it to the card. To finish off, some Champagne clear drops!

Simon Says: Sending Flowers!

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! 

This week Simon Says: Sending Flowers and we are featuring Gina K. Design Products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  

Tags are my favourite to make! These are perfect gift toppers and I felt the scale of the flower from the Beautiful Sketches set by Gina K. was perfect. I love the lines of the stamps in this set. I stamped my flower and coloured it in using my COPIC markers. I took a stencil and added the "dot" sparingly on the tag.

I then stamped my sentiment from the same Gina K. stamp set. I picked some fun Doodlebug patterned paper to add to some fun to the tag. To finish off, one clear drop for the flower center!

Simon Says: Anything Goes featuring Hero Arts!

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! 

This week Simon Says: Anything Goes and we are featuring Hero Arts Products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  

Who doesn't love to play with Hero Arts products! I think many of us started with that company. I just love this set of florals and matching dies for all images including the sentiments. I started by ink blending my Hero Arts Diamond Stencil directly on my card base and added gold splatter and set it aside to dry.

I stamped and coloured my flower using my COPIC markers and then used the accompanying die. I then gold embossed my sentiment from the same set.

I added some gold twine in back of my flower and added both the flower and sediment using foam tape to the card base. To finish off, some Champagne Clear Drops!

You give me a theme with circles and I am going to use polka dots 99% of the time, lol! I used my Dotty Stencil byWhimsy Stamps for my background with Distress Inks. I really love the scale of the Whimsy Stamps dies and this Big Hugs one was perfect for this card. 

I used Lawn Fawn Black Licorice card stock for my sentiment and finished off using some Pink Fresh Studio Green Clear Drops! Simple card to put together but I  find the big bold black makes a statement.

I hate having to make a sympathy card but the mix of the Spellbinders embossing folder and the Quill by Altenew paired beautifully together.

I started by die cutting my Quill and putting it together and ink blending the sides for added dimension. I embossed my background panel using the beautiful leafy 3D embossing folder by Spellbinders.

I added twine from my stash and some Pink Fresh gold gems! My sentiment is French from an older stamp set from my stash.

Simon Says: Masculine

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! 

This week Simon Says: Masculine and we are featuring always amazing Tim Holtz products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  

I have always loved this Crazy line by Tim Holtz and have used the dogs, birds and accessories frequently since I purchased them. One of my godsons's graduates from High School with full honours this week so I decided on this because he and one of my dogs have a bromance going. Mozzie just loves him so I modelled the dog after my boy.

I stencilled my background then stamped my images and coloured them in with my COPIC markers and die cut all of my elements 

I decided on my Simon Says Stamp celebrate die in gold card stock and finished with some Pretty Pink Posh navy sequins with Champagne clear drops on top. Then a little white gel pen detail on my images.

Simon Says Moments in Time Release Blog Hop!

Happy Friday crafty friends! Super excited to be a part of the Day 1 blog hop for the amazing new Simon Says Stamp Moments In Time release!

Look at the adorable freebie you get when you place an order from the new product line!

I had such fun making this baby card! I took a piece of patterned paper and ink blended my sentiment from the new Banner Greeting clear stamps and stencil set in the same colour as my panel. I then stamped my images from the super sweet clear stamp set and coloured them in using my COPIC markers.

I cut my images and then die cut my Simon Says Stamp baby die and put all of my elements onto my panel. To finish off some of my favourite Pink Fresh Drops!

I used my Tim Holtz watercolour pencils for this one. I embossed my panel then coloured my flowers and leaves. I set it aside to dry and die cut my Happy Birthday sentiments. I glued the sentiment with foam tape for dimension. To finish off, more drops by Pink Fresh!
