Mama Elephant Incoming Mail


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

This week the challenge is 

Anything Goes 

We are showcasing Mama Elephant 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 you may know, the  Simon Says Stamp Store is accepting new orders, but have longer shipping times for the moment due to the coronavirus. With this in mind we have made the difficult decision to suspend the $50 voucher for this challenge.

We know that many people are staying safe at home and we would love it if you would continue to enter the challenges and have fun! We are all in this together!


It's Mindy's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)

I used a super cute Incoming Mail Clear Stamp Set along with a gorgeous new Stylish Rectangle Trio Die Set and Bamboo Poles from Memory Box. 


I used a Misti Tool to stamp the images with Memento Tuxedo and then coloured with Copic Markers. I then used a Versafine Black Pigment Ink Pad to overstamp to give the panda a very strong black color.  For the background I used a LDRS Rainy Day Stencil and a Lawn  Fawn Grassy Border Die along with Distress Oxide Ink Pads.


and I finished the inside very simply and left lots of space to add a heartfelt message ;-)



So now it's YOUR turn!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge so we can see your entries.

We would also like you to share pics of your creative moments, maybe with your children, or maybe just you having fun with your craft supplies.

Please use the hashtag  #SSSUnitedWeCraft as we all unite together in crafting!







You have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in

Poppy Stamps Peek A Boo Kitty

Hi all :-) How are you? I hope you're all doing well XXX 


I had a little bit of time to spare so I made this card just for fun using a new Memory Box/Poppy Stamps Peek A Boo Kitty Die, there are other cute critters in this series too! I need to get them all, and at only $4.99 each they're a fabulous bargain!!! 



For the background I used a Tim Holtz Mixed Media 3 Die and made a brick stencil before sponging with Pumice Stone Distress Ink.  I popped in a variety of glitter papers into the apertures and made little shakers and then made little banner sentiments for the kitties to hold. 

I coloured just their little eyes and noses with copic markers and popped them back in, that was a labour of love I can tell ya' very fiddly ;-)

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Not A Card




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

This week the theme is

Not A Card 


As you may know, the  Simon Says Stamp Store is accepting new orders, but have longer shipping times for the moment due to the coronavirus. With this in mind we have made the difficult decision to suspend the $50 voucher for this challenge.

We know that many people are staying safe at home and we would love it if you would continue to enter the challenges and have fun! We are all in this together!

It is Tracey's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)

I made a notebook using a Tim Holtz Large Stems Bigz Die for the main focus.




For the background I used a Botanical Cling Stamp and Black Archival Ink, randomly stamping on yellow paper and then made a panel using Black Soot Distress Oxide Burlap and Dot Fade Layering Stencils and some yummy Sparkling White Glamour Paste

I simply adhered a plain note book inside, when it is finished a new one can be glued in!



Thanks for looking :-) 

So now it's YOUR turn!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #sssmchallenge so we can see your entries and also we have an extra hashtag to use as we all unite in crafting! #SSSUnitedWeCraft
