Paper Artsy Jofy 20 Lovebirds Cling Stamp Set

Hi all! Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

This week the theme is

Love Is In The Air

As it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company. This week we are all using some fabulous products from Paper Artsy. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $25 voucher to shop at the Simon Says Stamp Store! All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz on the challenge blog post!
You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone!

This week we’re welcoming back the lovely Laura Cassina into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

I made a circle card using a Paper Artsy Mini 20 Lovebirds Cling Stamp Set

I really had fun coloring these super cute Lovebirds with Zig Clean Color Brushes, the colors are so fabulously vibrant!

For the background I dipped Distress Watercolor Paper into Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans Distress Inks and then used a Carabelle Studio Constellation Stencil and Mowed Lawn Ink.

I added a Simon Says Stamp Winsome Branch for the birds to sit in and used some Tim Holtz Design Tape and Sentiment Label Sticker to finish.

I mopped up the excess ink onto a sheet of computer paper and used that for the inside and to decorate the envelope.

Thanks for looking :-)

House Mouse Heart Treats

Hi all :-) It's time for a new theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge,

This time Carol is hosting and the theme is

Anything Goes

+ the option of Doodle It

I found a gorgeous sheet of 'doodled' paper so I used that instead of doodling myself ;-)

I used an adorable Stampendous House Mouse Heart Treats Cling Stamp.

Before I start coloring I generally assemble the papers and then decide on which colors to use. This time, I really liked the look of leaving it as a simple black/white stamped image and just coloring the heart sweets and adding a few stencilled hearts.

and I made an envelope to match

Thanks for looking! You have until Sunday 19th Feb to join in! :-)
