Simon Says: Anything Goes




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

Anything Goes


We are showcasing Tim Holtz Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have them 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

This is Anita's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for your creations over the past few weeks! We have loved having you along with us! 
Thank You!


I made a couple of cards to add to my Christmas Card Box, it will soon be time to get them in the post! Time is flying by!! 


I used a Simon's Exclusive Postage Edge Die and Watercolor paper for the background, inked with Faded Denim and Peacock Feathers distress Oxide inks.  I used a Tim Holtz Great Outdoors Cling Stamp set  for the reindeer and the wood slice. 


The papers are from a Tim Holtz Christmas Mini 8x8 Paper Pack . I tore a strip of the text paper and then used my WeRMemory Keepers Machine to add a few stitches across the bottom. I also stitched around the backing paper with Gold Multimedia Thread. 


and I finished the insides. 


LOVE this We R Memory Keepers Sewing Machine!! If you haven't got one I definitely recommend  that you add it to your Christmas Gift list, you never know! Santa might leave you one under the tree!! ;-) 
Mine is in Mint but it is also available in a lovely pink colour;-)

Simon Says: 'Star Light, Star Bright'










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

This week we are inviting you to add a bright shiny star to your creation!

Star Light Star Bright




 The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight ;-)

What are you wishing for? 

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

Please pop by to see what our fabulous guest Suman and the DT made this week, all of them are so gorgeous!! 

I had a fun time getting inky and made a Christmas canvas decoration.

I started by scrunching up a piece of Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap and then glued it to the Canvas, leaving the scrunchy texture. I then applied a coating of Gesso before adding colour with Distress Oxide Inks (Faded Denim, Fossilized Amber, Wilted Violet and Black Soot  randomly over the top.



I then die cut some Tim Holtz Stacked Stars from Grungepaper and smooched these in a puddle of the side inks. In the end I only used the blueish ones.  I used a text stamp to add some lettering and then randomly sprinkled with gold embossing to create a funky effect ;-)


I  then used a Tim Holtz Starry Layering Stencil and Embossing Paste to add some texture, While the paste was still wet I sprinkled with fine gold glitter dust 



I gold embossed some Simon Says stamp Artsy Star Shapes  and added some Star Adornments and some random sprinkles of gold embossing. 


I used a Tim Holtz Marquee Die Set, smothered with Vintage Platinum Glitter Dust for the lettering. 


Artsy angle ;-) 



Thanks for looking! 

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating!
