I got a bit carried away this week and made 2 cards with co-ordinating envelopes ! :-)

First up is a card using  a Layered Tree Craft Die  and Falling Snow Stencil and for the envelope I used a Holiday Delivery stamp and die set


To make the snowflakes blue I first inked through the mask with Hero Arts Cornflower Blue and then smooched some embossing paste over the top, looks good eh ! :-) 

The bucket is from a beach accessories set in the Silhouette Studio and cut on the Cameo :-)
I trimmed 1.5 cm from the front edge and adhered a strip of Washi Tape down the inside edge to add a bit of interest :-)


next up is this cute card usingHappy MeowdayBelieve Stencil and Furry Christmas stamp sets and again I used the Holiday Delivery stamp and die set, for the envelope




I cut a piece of white card and secured the stencil over the top, then masked the 'believe' part. I inked through the mask with Hero Arts Red Royal ink, then removed the mask and masked the stripes. I then inked with pumice stone DI and then smooshed some perfect pearls over the top to give a silvery look. I used the antlers from the Furry Christmas set,,,  I think this card is particularly cute don't you ? :-)

Thanks for looking :-) for more Simon Says Stamp Exclusive ideas please hop on over to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and also the Simon Says Stamp Blog has oodles of inspiration and candy giveaways too ! Don't miss out ! :-)
