Simon Says: Something New

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Happy New Year To All!! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and hope that 2019 is a good one for all of us :-) 

This week the challenge is 

SOMETHING NEW!

If Santa brought you some new crafty goodies we would love to see them! You could also make something for a New Baby, New Job, New Home, New Life Adventures etc.

We are showcasing our very own Simon's Exclusive Brand Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 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 at the bottom of this 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! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!

This week we are welcoming the lovely Sue Symens aka Sentimentally Sue into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, and the DT have made :-)

I made a card using brand spanking NEW products from the latest  'You Are Loved' release :

a Windows To My Heart Die, Always and Forever Clear Stamp Set and a Damask Background Cling Stamp 

I started by white heat embossing the Damask  design onto watercolor paper and then blening Worn Lipstick and a little Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks over the top. 

I then die cut the Windows To My Heart  design from Simon's thick white cardstock and proceeded to make a shaker card (I love shakers don't you!?!) ;-)

and I finished the inside 

and a special card deserves a bespoke envelope so I made one to match ;-) 

I often get asked how I make the shaker cards so here is the assembly. I use a double layer of Scotch Foam Tape so that there is enough depth for the sequins to shake ;-) 

So now it's YOUR turn, Happy New Year!!
