Simon Says: Stamp It In STAMPtember®

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

Thank you for joining us for the Try To Contain Yourself Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Stamp It

I am sure you all know that STAMPtember® is a very special month in the Simon Says Stamp Store calendar and this week we are asking you to use a stamp, no digi images allowed.

                                                                                                                                                                         


We are showcasing the latest STAMPtember® products and although you probably don't have these supplies yet we would like you to use Simon's Exclusive Products if you have them. This isn't necessary to join in with the challenge but we would appreciate it.

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

I made a tag using a  Time For Wine Stamp Set, I have to say this stamp set is right up my street!! ;-) I know this one will be used A LOT ;-)

I started by blending Barn Door, Forest Moss and Vintage Photo Distress inks into a Watercolor Paper Die Cut tag.  I then splattered with water and White Ink before stamping little gold swirls randomly over the top. I also stamped the grapes onto the background too. 

I used a Simon's Exclusive Ring Frame Die, cut it out of a piece of kraft cardstock and inked the edges with vintage Photo. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of cork paper  and stamped and fussy cut the grapes and glass of wine images. 

So now it's YOUR turn to get out your stamps and get STAMPING! :-)

I made a couple of cards using a super cute Christmas Toys Clear Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies 

I used Doll Pink Cardstock for this first card, I thought it would be perfect with this cute little dolly in the trolley ;-)

I used an embossing folder to create a Snowfall Background and used Simon's Silver Embossing Powder for the sentiment.

I finished the inside with a sentiment from an Inside Holiday Greetings Stamp Set

For my 2nd card I used Schoolhouse Red Cardstock and used Gold Embossing Powder for the sentiment.

As you can see I used my fave Stitched Rectangles Dies, a 'must have' set!
