Simon Says Stamp 'Always and Forever'

Hi all :-) I was thrilled when Crissy invited me to be a Guest Designer for the 'CAS(E)' this Sketch Challenge, always fabulous sketches and I love this one designed by the fabulous Donna Mikasa 


and this is the card I made using a gorgeous new Always and Forever Stamp and Coordinating Dies from Simon Says Stamp 


I splattered the Wonky Rectangle with Silver Shimmer and Tumbled Glass Spray Inks and then added a torn strip of Vellum across the bottom. To keep in with the sketch, and after scratching my head a little bit, wondering what I could add, I then glued on a wonky row of Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals 

and I finished the inside 


and made a coordinating envelope 



Thanks for looking! I hope you will all join in with this fabulous sketch challenge! :-)

Simon Says: Love Is In The Air


Hi all!Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

This week the theme is

Love Is In The Air 



The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post!

The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!
It's Wendy's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your fabulous creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-) Please pop by to see what Wendy and the DT have made, LOVE'ly creations! ❤️



I love these papers from an Authentique Romance Paper Pack and I am going to have to get another pack of these, so pretty and vintage looking :-) I used a strip of the paper and distressed the edges before adding a little Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink along the edges. I then used a Simon's Exclusive Heart Layers Stencil Set , Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide, White Embossing Paste and Prisma Glitter to create some added interest and texture in the background.


I cut a few Wonky Hearts using Cotton Candy and Black Cardstock, I then used a sentiment stamp in the kit and the Worn Lipstick Ink to heat emboss some interest onto the black hearts. I used some of embroidery floss in the kit to wrap around and tie little bows. 

And I finished the inside, the sentiment is from a page in the paper pack.  


and I used the scraps of eftover paper to decorate one of the lovely shimmery envelopes that are also in the kit! 


These kits are fabulous value for money and this one is an especially LOVE'ly one! ;-) If you would like one you will need to be quick because they are selling out super fast! ;-)
