Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
This week the challenge is
Stamp It For STAMPtember®
We are welcoming the lovely Sarah Moerman aka My Impressions into the Designer Spotlight this month. You may remember Sarah used to be on the Design Team so we are especially thrilled to have her with us again for this special STAMPtember® month
Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest Sarah and the DT have made :-)
I made a couple of cards to share today, first up is this Christmas shaker card made using a STAMPtember® Center Cut Holiday Icons Cling Stamp.
I used Simon's Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Circles Dies to cut the front panel from Watercolor Paper and blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I then stamped the Holiday Icons design over the top.
I didn't notice until I came to photograph this but I must have dropped the stamp when I was lifting it off as it has double stamped in areas. I actually quite like the look of this, it makes it look a little distressed and grungy, I will be doing this deliberately, occasionally, from now on!! ;-)
I used the same ink and blended a second piece of paper and then used White Embossing Paste and a Simon's Falling Snow Stencil for the inside of the shaker. I love that this cute little Retro Deer is looking up at the Alexis Snowflake ;-)
and I finished the inside
and made a coordinating envelope!
For my 2nd card I used a new STAMPtember® Spiritual Sentiments Clear Stamp Set and a Harvest Stencil along with lots of sparkle!
I started by blending Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink over some watercolor paper and then applied the stencil over the top. I then blended some gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink before applying a thick layer of embossing paste. While it was still wet I sprinkled with Vintage Platinum Distress Glitter Dust, so super sparkly IRL. For the edge I used double sided sticky tape and sprinkled the same glitter over the top.
So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

I love blue for Christmas, Lols, and what a great idea to make a shaker card with that new cling! And WOW, your Harvest Cling card is a real stunner!
Two beautiful cards,lovely designs.xxx
Two beautiful cards. I really love the "Grateful" card. [Bunny]
Beautiful pair of Xmas cards you crafted! Love the fact of making a shaker card! Nicely done!
Two beautiful cards with totally different mood! I already ordered the BG cling stamp in the first card which just caught my eyes at first sight. Can't wait to get it inked! Love reindeer's red nose and the big snowflakes with the lovely winter scene. The texture on your second card is awesome! TFS and Happy STAMPtember, Lols!

Loving the blue Christmas shaker card, the deer is so cute (has to be Rudolph with that adorable red nose) and the coordinating envelope finishes it all off so well. Both your cards are wonderful. Thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers for our 'all creatures great and small' challenge!

I absolutely love both the cards. The shaker with the whole snowy texture inside is just JAW DROPPING gorgeous and the colors on the second one, WOW, I love the whole harvest autumn feel you rendered to it. The idea of using half the stencil is so lovely. Have a great day! Happy STAMPtember to you as well. xx Ankita
