Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit Cards ,,,,,,

Happy Sunday to you all :-) Are you all prepared ?? I just feel like I will never be ready but Christmas will arrive in 3 more sleeps whether we're ready or not :-)

 I still needed a few more cards and the December Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp came in really handy :-) The kit had a bit of a journey getting here via Nepal, taking the scenic route around the Himalayas so it took 6 weeks to arrive  !!

I also used the 'Like Your Style' stamp set for the washing line and hanging hearts, I thought these complemented this set perfectly :-)

I was also quite brave and cut the sentiment stamp apart so I could stamp in different inks without the bother of masking :-) The 'holiday' is heat embossed and it looks fab IRL :-)

Next up is a card I made following the fab sketch on the My Favorite Things Blog

I used papers from the card kit and a  Lawn Fawn Critters in the Snow stamp set for this ( apologies as I had no MFT stamps suitable,, will remedy the situation forthwith :-)) 

Thanks for looking :-) I appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)

Simon's December Kit + Snowflake Cluster Bauble card

Hi all :-) I am here to share a card that I made using various exclusive products from Simon Says Stamp :-)

The snowflake cluster craft die is a new release and after seeing THIS card by the lovely Stephanie Klauck for this weeks Wednesday Challenge I sorta CASE'd it :-)

I used the lovely new exclusive cardstock and coordinating dye ink pads in Blue Violet. First of all I used the snowflake stencil from the December Kit as a mask and sponged the ink all over a strip of white card, moving the stencil as I went. I then used a snow cap dabber and pounced it all over the top before spraying with shine. I love how the colours in the ink merged to create this beautiful background ! 

I then die cut a circle of white card and glued the snowflake cluster onto it, I then smothered the whole bauble with glossy accents and sprinkled with rock candy distress glitter ,,,, YUM ! 

I still need to make a few more cards so to save a little time I made 2 the same :-)

Thanks for looking :-)
