Simon Says: Red White and/or Blue

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

This week we are challenging you to

RED WHITE and/or BLUE

It will be Independence Day here in the United States tomorrow, there will be huge processions, Stars and Stripes flying, fireworks and generally lots of people having fun! We would love for you to join in the party by creating something using one or all of the red/white/blue colours. We will be looking forward to seeing whatever colour/s you choose to use!

This week we are showcasing some fabulous Sizzix Products. Sizzix produce a huge range of Die Cut Machines, Craft Dies, Embossing Folders and so much more, 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

We are welcoming back Beulah Bee into the Designer Spotlight, you may remember she was with us last year and it is such a pleasure to have her joining us again! :-)

I made a cocktail recipe box to hold all of my fave cocktail recipes in preparation for all of the 4th go July parties! 

I used a Sizzix Big Shot Plus to die cut a Recipe Box and used Fired Brick and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks to colour the background before white embossing a script design over the top.

 I used a Simon's Exclusive Adult Beverages stamp set and Cheers Die to finish her Cocktail Recipe Box. Let the party begin!

arty angle ;-)

I die cut 2 small die cut circles of Darice Magnetic Sheet to create a simple magnetic closure, works perfectly! 

and I made some recipe cards for the inside with tabs for Gin or Vodka based cocktails.

Everyone should try this Blue Lagoon recipe, it is very yummy ;-) 

Thanks for looking! 

So now it's YOUR turn to get your Red/White/Blue supplies and get your crafty on!

I am currently on vacation on the French Riviera so I will see you all next week ;-)

Simon Says: Stencil It

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

This week we are challenging you to

Stencil It 

There are so many fabulous stencils available right now and there are so many techniques you can use with them. It is fun to ink, spray or use embossing paste, lots of options and the end result is always a little bit unpredictable. It is a fabulous way to create your own backgrounds, or the designs can be the focus of attention. Of course you can always create your own stencils, whatever you decide to do we will be looking forward to seeing what you create!

This is Anne's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your projects over the past month. It has been a real pleasure having you along with us!

I decided to decorate another page in my Dylusions Creative Dyary 

A few weeks ago I saw that the lovely Kath had coloured the left side of her diary so I CASE'd her idea ;-) I swiped mini distress inks across the days using Fossilized Amber.  Festive Berries and Twisted Citron 

I and used Floral, Burlap, Cargo and Dot Fade Layering Stencils to create a fun background. 

I love the Dyan Reaveley products and especially her Cat Among The Pigeons  and Doodle Blooms cling stamp sets, they makes me smile ;-) 

I will link all of the products I used at the bottom ;-)

I love the effect the layering stencils created, to add a little texture I used some yummy Viva Rose Quartz Paste with the Dot Fade stencil

Arty Angle ;-)

Thanks for looking!

So now it's YOUR turn to stencil!
