Circle Loops and Stitched Daisies

The weather is stormy, thunder, lightening and a heavy downpour, perfect weather for crafting, unless the electricity goes off, always a threat here :-/

For this card I used a couple of new products from the STAMPtember® release , the  Circle Loops and  Stitched Daisies Craft Dies 

The Circle Loops  take all the hassle out of trying to arrange twine behind things don't you think! I can see these being my new best ever fave and most used dies! ;-) I sprayed the background with Gold Shimmer Spritz, it really does look so beautiful IRL, very shimmery, 

I am really lovin' the uhite'gold combo and if you would like to see a similar card I made yesterday using the Circle Loops please scroll down or CLICK HERE

Simon's Circle Loops

The theme this week on the Less Is More Challenge is Something Shiny, my favorite thing! I do love sparkle and shine! I must have been a magpie in a previous life ;-)

I made this card using a Circle Loops and Congratulations Circle Dies that are part of the new STAMPtember® release 

A friend of mine recently got engaged and I made this for her and her fiancé ;-)

As it is an extra special occasion I made the effort to finish the inside too.

Thanks for looking!

Simon Says: Anything Goes

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

This week the challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

We are showcasing CLEARLY BESOTTED  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 always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I used Best Birthday Clear Stamp Set and Co-ordinating Dies  

I needed something cute but more masculine and I think this has worked perfectly, aren't those panda balloons adorable!! ;-)

I made a cloudy sky using a die cut cloud as a mask and then used a copic air brush, my fave and easiest way of creating a sky.

I rounded the balloons using an embossing tool, lubricated with a smidgeon of soap, and then gently rounded on the reverse side. 

and this is the inside view

Our GD,Vera,  will be once again hosting the annual Caring Hearts Card Drive and Simon Says Stamp will be sponsoring. The details of the drive will be posted on  Vera's Blog on Saturday 3rd October. Please pop by for more details of this very worthwhile cause.
