Hi there
The theme for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is ‘A bit of sparkle’, showcasing products by Simon Says Stamp. What a fun challenge! Here is my entry using a die and stamps by Simon Says Stamp.
I covered the die cut with Tonic Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss – love it!
Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone!
The theme for this week’s Less is More challenge is ‘spots and stripes’ and it’s time for the dreaded one-layer card!
Actually, I quite enjoy making one-layer cards…. but this time it was VERY DIFFICULT not to add some sequins!
I used a fishtail die to create a mask and then did some ink blending and stencilling to create the image. I added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp to finish it off!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
The theme for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is ‘Going Dotty’ and I immediately thought of some circle dies from SSS that I haven’t used for AGES. I used stamps from Stamping Bella which I coloured using Twinkling H2Os.
I finished off the card by adding a few enamel dots in the frame – I used some actate behind the frame where it comes off the card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
The colours for this week’s Colour Throwdown challenge are kraft, yellow, grey and aqua so I decided to emboss a fabulous Simon Says Stamp background stamp and then do some ink blending/emboss resist.
The word die is from Neat & Tangled.

Hi Everyone!
Jennifer McGuire shared some techniques for using gilding flakes in this week’s Shimmer and Sparkle class. I had never tried them before, but got my hands on them in record time (thanks Sir Stampalot!) and had such fun playing with them! They may be making a frequent appearance in my future cards!
Anyway, for this card, I used a die from Simon Says Stamp, which I coated in double sided tape and then added the flakes. The sentiment is an older stamp from Hero Arts.
I’m entering this into the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge and also the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (favourite technique).
Thanks for looking!

Happy Saturday!
I’m really enjoying Online Card Classes’ ‘Shimmer and Sparkle’ class and today I’ve been playing with Nuvo Embellishment Mousse. I made a lot of different backgrounds by sponging the mousse onto cardstock. I also blended a few colours to make my own bespoke mousse!
For today’s card. I cut a Simon Says Stamp die from the various background panels and inserted the coloured hearts into the die cut outline that I’d cut from some black glitzy paper. I flicked some watered-down embellishment mousse onto the card base and added a sentiment from Hero Arts.
I’m entering this into the current AAA Cards challenge (bright and beautiful) and also the SSS Flickr challenge (favourite technique – inlaid die cutting!).
Thanks for stopping by!
