Simon Says Stamp 'Joy to The World'

Hi all :-) This week at Simon Says Stamp we are celebrating Cyber week and there are lots of fun things happening! Yesterday was the launch of this super cute nativity stamp set called 'Joy To The World' 



 Heidi and the lovely peeps at Simon sent me a set and this is my first card made using it.


I kept the background neutral and lightly coloured it with a W00 copic marker for the sky and E40 for the ground. I stamped the crib and the shed and then masked them before stamping the sheep and the tree. I coloured with Copic Markers and then went over with some Polychromo pencils to add some more depth of color. 



and I finished the inside, but made a bit of a mess of the 'Merry Christmas' which isn't stamped properly and is wonky, I am blaming it on the cat ,,,, ;-)


here's the culprit, sitting on my desk causing havoc, naughty Tigger  ;-)


thanks for looking and I hope you all have a great day!

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;-)
