Simon Says: Knock On Wood



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

This week the challenge is 

Knock On Wood 

We are showcasing Tim Holtz 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.

As you may know, the  Simon Says Stamp Store is accepting new orders, but have longer shipping times for the moment due to the coronavirus. With this in mind we have made the difficult decision to suspend the $50 voucher for this challenge.
We know that many people are staying safe at home and we would love it if you would continue to enter the challenges and have fun! We are all in this together!

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

I used a Lumber 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder and a Wildflower Stems 2 Die Set  and made a couple of simple spring cards.




I used the Embossing Folder  to emboss some white watercolor paper and decided to leave it white and simply added a few splatters of ink. I used Peeled Paint Distress Ink to color another piece of watercolor paper, spritzed with water to give it a mottled look and when it was dry I die cut the foliage and flower stalk. I then blended some Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Inks for the flower.  I added a strip of paper along the side and finished with a Simon's Exclusive Bold Hello sentiment! 


and here's the 2nd one using a Bold Thanks Die 




So now it's YOUR turn!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge so we can see your entries.

We would also like you to share pics of your creative moments, maybe with your children, or maybe just you having fun with your craft supplies.

Please use the hashtag  #SSSUnitedWeCraft as we all unite together in crafting!

Stampendous, House Mouse Iris Play

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

This time te lovely MIA hosting and the theme is 

Anything Goes 
+ the option of Flowers

I used this gorgeous Iris Play Cling Stamp 


I love yellow irises and we have them growing in the garden. I recently bought this gorgeous 'Stylish Rectangle Die' by Memory Box and thought it would be great to make a shaker!  For the background I simply stencilled a design with Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks 



Thanks for looking! You have until Sunday  to join in! :-)
We are Sponsored by


House-Mouse Designs(R)
 
HMD is offering a Lucky player a $20 Gift Certificate to go shopping at the official House-Mouse Designs(R) site! Eeeeek!!  

and our lovely hostess MIA is giving this gorgeous Gruffie Stamp away too! 



I have been making masks for family and friends and managed to get some more nice fabrics so I am now making them to help keep everyone safe, to flatten the curve and to raise funds for the Gozo SPCA. They are triple layered with a brushed cotton lining and a metal strip over the nose to make it a more snug fit and to help prevent glasses from steaming up. They are washable. I think a minimum donation of 6 euros per mask is reasonable and I am prepared to post to Malta and Gozo for an extra one euro for up to 5 masks to cover P&P. I will post worldwide and P&P will be at cost. I am making 2 sizes, medium for ladies and large for men. Please email me if you're interested. Thanks xx
