Simon Says Stamp Dandy Floral

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

This week the theme is

Emboss It 

As it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company. This week we are all using some of our very own Simon Says Stamp Products. 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 the lovely Pauline C aka Passion For Papercraft into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat! 

I made a card, for my Mum,using a Simon Says Stamp Dandy Floral Embossing Folder and Die Set. Daffodils are her favorite flower so am sure she will love this, I will, of course, buy her a big bunch of them too ;-)

I smooshed Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Inks over the embossing folder to add the background color and then used Hickory Smoke Ink to stamp a Sketchy Lines design onto the embossing folder before running it through my new Tim Holtz Foldaway Big Shot.

I added some color using Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness ink to the foliage and spritzed the flower with some bright and cheerful Dyan Reaveley Lemon Zest Ink Spray. I added a few sequins, a CZ Designs Reverse Mother's Day Sentiment and a few machine stitches to finish.

Thanks for looking :-)

House Mouse 'A Birdie Told Me'

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

This time the lovely Karin is hosting and the theme is 

Anything Goes 

+ the option of Use Dies

I used and older, but still gorgeous 'A Birdie told Me' House Mouse Stamp along with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles and Winsome Branch Die Sets.

A friend asked me to make a baby girl card , she is an avid bird watcherlover, wildlife rescuer, and has a love of the countryside and gardening, so I incorporated all of her favorite pastimes in this card ;-). 

I colored with Copic Markers and added a stencilled cloudy sky.  I cut the Winsome Branch into smaller pieces and created a bush ;-)

The polka dot paper is from Lawn Fawn and I used Brutus Monroe Sterling Sparkle Embossing Powder to heat emboss the sentiment. 

and I used the leftover scrap of paper to decorate the envelope

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