Simon Says Stamp ' Believe Acetate Sheet'

Happy Halloween!!  Maybe I should have been better prepared and had a Halloween themed card ready for today but as we don't really 'do' Halloween I made a Christmas card instead ;-) 

For todays card I used a gorgeous 'Believe' Acetate Sheet . These can be left black if you prefer OR you can foil them in any color you like!! I chose a gorgeous Gina K Red Velvet Fancy Foil


This card measures  4 1/2 x 5 inches. I cut a section out of plain white card and adhered the acetate on the insire. I then covered the edges with strips of red cardstock. For the inside I used a piece of  Surf Blue Card Stock and popped in a Tim Holtz Santa  which is no longer available but is very similar to THIS Christmas Magic one from Trinity Stamps. 

I printed the 'in the magic of Christmas' on my laser printer and used Therm O Web Black Foil, the lovely shimmer doesn't show up in the pic, but looks fabulous IRL :-)  I added a little Tim Holtz Christmas Design Tape, some Foiled Star Sequins and May Arts Red Twine to finish.

Paper Artsy Zinski Art 50

 

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

This week the theme is

Inspired By A Movie 

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! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!

Being the owner of several cats I just had to go with the movie and stage play 'Cats' by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
I recently ordered this gorgeous new Paper Artsy Zinski Art 50 Stamp Set and made 2 cards, well, the film is 'Cats' plural ;-)




I used a Gel Press Printing Plate, a Diagonal Stripe Stencil and Candied Apple and Brushed Pewter Distress Paints to make the background. I coloured the cats with a combination of Distress Inks and Zig Real Brush Markers. The little mouse popped in the stocking is from Lawn Fawn


I  distressed the edges and stitched around on my sewing machine.  I added some washi tape and a liberal sprinkling of Mica Flakes for extra sparkle. 


Next up is this super cute cracker pulling kitty 




Thanks for looking :-) 

So now it's YOUR turn!
