Simon Says Stamp

Featuring Simon Says Stamp products

On my mind

 

Hi everyone!

There’s a great sketch over at the Case This sketch challenge blog and I used one of my favourite Simon Says Stamp sets for my take!

I embossed a few of the stems from the ‘Artsy Flowers set’ and then coloured them using my Twinkling H2o’s.  (This was also what I chose to colour for Day 6 of the Daily Marker 30 Day challenge).

I added an embossed sentiment, also by Simon Says Stamp, to finish it off!

I’m also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge and Work it Wednesday  – which all have the same theme – stamp it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Flowery best

It’s been a glorious day here – sunshine, blue skies and temperatures of 25+C. I should have been outside in the garden…. but instead I was in my craft room! I watched Tim Holtz’s video on his stamping platform, which I got a few months ago, but got a bot frustrated with, so I went back to my MISTI. Anyway, I was determined to give it another go and I’m so glad I did – I didn’t suffer any of my previous issues and created some amazing backgrounds!

Here’s one of the backgrounds I turned into a card – I used a Tim Holtz stamp with distress markers and then added a sentiment die/stamp from Simon Says Stamp. I finished it off with a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins!

So, all in all, a good, productive day, even if I didn’t make the most of the wonderful weather!

Dots and Stripes and a star for good measure!

Hi Everyone!

The theme for the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge is ‘dots and/or stripes’. I used a couple of Simon Stays Stamp dies and some remnants from rainbow backgrounds that I created a few weeks ago as part of Online Card Classes’ Rainbow Maker class. I just can’t decide whether I prefer it with or without a sentiment (also Simon’s). What do you think?

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to my lovely Mum and Dad! Here’s the card I gave them today – I created the background with distress oxide inks and then used it as a base for some inlaid die cutting using a die from Nellie Snellen.

I lightly dusted some regular distress ink die onto the background using a stencil from Simon Says Stamp and then stamped a sentiment from Ellen Hutson. I then added a few die cut glitter hearts to finish it off!

Tropical giraffes

Hi everyone!

After watching the Online Card Classes Rainbow Maker videos for today, I was itching to get ink smooshing, but I also wanted to do a card for this week’s Less is More challenge (tropical colours). So I tweaked my rainbow a bit (but that’s ok, right?) and came up with a smooshed background using Altenew’s inks. I used the gorgeous giraffe dies from Poppystamps and a couple of dies from Memory Box and Simon Says Stamp to complete my card, which I’m also entering into this week’s Casology challenge (safari).

Thanks for stopping by!

Mr and Mrs

Good morning everyone!

I’m excited to say that I was chosen as the Color Throwdown blog’s Featured Stamper last week and so I’m over at their blog today as their Guest Star Stamper!

The colour palette this week is aqua, light pink, lavender and white. Can I just say: I LOVE THIS COLOUR COMBO SOOOOO MUCH!

I used a combination of Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar) and an Altenew ink (Lavender Fields) for my card.

I heat embossed a My Favorite Things background stamp and applied the inks using the ‘plastic bag blending technique’ that I learned from Kristina Werner at Simon Says Create earlier this year.

I cut a Simon Says Stamp die from some silver glitter paper and added an embossed Ellen Hudson sentiment. Finally I added a few silver hearts as a finishing touch.

The Color Throwdown team have come up with some great ideas for this week’s palette over on the challenge blog – I do hope you’ll play along too!

Thanks for stopping by!
