Leave a little sparkle!

Happy Friday!

So, a little story to begin – Wow! Embossing company was a sponsor at Simon Says Create last week and I was so disappointed to miss out on their fabulous, glittery Create It, Take It card. Instead, I bought the stamps and decided I’d make my own version when I got home!

I used a super simple paper technique from Jennifer McGuire instead of loose glitter – far less messy! Papers are by Die Cuts with a View and all dies are by Simon Says Stamp.

I used the colours from this week’s Color Throwdown challenge and will also enter this into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (anything goes).

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!

I’m back in my craft room after being away and it feels so good!

The theme for this week’s Less is More challenge is ‘shadow’ so I used a shadow/stencilling technique that Shari Carroll shared at Simon Says Create in 2015.

I used SSS fog card as my base and applied SSS Smoke ink over a Tim Holtz stencil and then moved it slightly before applying Lawn Fawn yeti ink. I used SSS banner dies to cut the panel and cut a vellum banner using the same die set, cutting it twice to remove the fishtail portion of the banner.

I cut the MFT Cheers die and three times – once with DCWV glitzy paper (isn’t it fabulous?!) and twice with white cardstock and then stuck them together before adding it to my card. I’m also entering this into the current SSS Flickr challenge –‘anything goes’.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Happy Day!

Hi everyone! I love the inspiration photo for the current Time Out Challenge and here is my take!

I used distress ink to create a blended ink background and then applied lots of distress mica spray for shimmer! I then used this and some Bazzill bling cardstock to do inlaid die-cutting with a fabulous butterfly die from Spellbinders.

I added a sentiment stamp from Simon Says Stamp and so I’m also entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge – sparkle and shine.

Thanks for stopping by!

Red Berry Wreath

Happy Friday! It’s been a few weeks since I played along with the Merry Monday challenge, but I HAD to join this week as the theme is ‘wreath’ and I have a LOT of wreath dies and stamps. I used the sketch from Fusion Card Challenge and all dies and stamps are by Simons Says Stamp.

Finally I added tons of enamel dots that I made using Nuvo drops and added two glittery cardinals to finish it off!

Thanks for stopping by!

Row of Presents

Hello!

The theme for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is ‘splash it on’ and here is my entry!

I sprinkled water onto an ink-blended background before cutting it with the Simon Says Stamp presents die. I also did a little controlled ink smooshing on the base card before adding my die cut image.

I’m also entering this into the current CAS Mix It Up challenge (inlaid die-cutting, stamping, ink blending and smooshing).

All dies and stamps are by Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!
