Simon Says August Card Kit Card :-)

Hi ! how are you all on this bright sunshiny Saturday ? I hope you are all fit and well and looking forward to a weekend of relaxing and maybe crafting :-) 

I am here to share a card made using the August Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp. I love the summery colours and ice cream theme of this one, very cute :-)

I love the stamp set in this kit,,, the ice's are super cute with the little face stamps too :-) The eyes didn't show up very well amongst the sprinkles so I popped some googly eyes on there. I saw Jennifer Ingle had used googly eyes on this card too ,, haha ,, so cute :-)

I followed this weeks sketch over on the Splitcoast Stampers site, using the arrow for the circle element, which I would probably not have used had I now been following the sketch but I do like how it is encouraging you to open the card ,,,, and what's inside ,,,, 

I will add a gift card before posting :-) 

thanks for looking :-)

and this is the kit !! Isn't it GORGEOUS!! ,, love the fab citrus colours :-) There are a few of these kits left but they are flying off the shelves so if you would like one be quick :-)

Simon Says ,,,,, Emboss It

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

Thank you for joining us for the Spots and Dots Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

EMBOSS IT

heat emboss, dry emboss or you can use embossing paste.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I used a Simon Says Stamp Polka Dot Party Stencil, Doll Pink Ink Pad and  Embossing Paste 

I made this card for my daughter to give to her flatmate who has now finished university here and has returned to France to go on to bigger and better things I am sure :-)  I know that they will both miss each other, they have been like sisters since they were about 13.

I love embossing paste !! have you got some ? It is my all time fave product I think ! I squidgied some Doll Pink Ink onto a craft mat and smooched in the embossing paste and some bead glitter gel,, love this too ,, so sparkly. I then used a Simon's Exclusive Medium Dot Stencil to create the background. 

I used a Hero Arts Friend Definition background stamp for the postage stamp die cut, quite fitting I thought ,, haha. This Freckled Fawn Grey Airmail Washi is also a fave , as is the Irridescent String and the Woodgrain Cardstock,,, ss you can see I used a few faves today ,,, and the Plane Die ,,, yep that too  :-)

So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!
