Simon Says Stamp: Hibiscus Frame

Hi all :-) I have just been having a little play with this gorgeous Hibiscus Frame Die which I have to say is one of my all time fave dies EVER!! :-) I love shaker cards and this die is just perfect for making them!!


The designs are fairly simple and self explanatory so I will just add a link list at the bottom ;-)



Thanks for looking! I hope you're all enjoying a fabulous weekend!

Simon Says Stamp Kids Summer Vacation Challenge



Kid'sChallenge-01

It's time for our annual Simon Says Stamp Summer Vacation Kid's Challenge where we host a special challenge dedicated to our young designers!

The theme is

ANYTHING GOES WITH SPARKLE

It is time for all you crafters to let your children loose in your crafty corners for a few hours. Just close your eyes and set them free to explore their creativity. Adults are allowed to help just a little bit if necessary, but we really want the children to 'DO IT' themselves as much as possible.
You can enter as many times as you like, just remember to add your link into the inlinkz system at the bottom of this post! If you have several entries on the same post add ?1. ?2, ?3 etc at the end of the url and they will be accepted into the system.
The Design Team all love this challenge and are ready and waiting to pop over to your blog to see your creations!

This challenge is open to all children aged between 2 and 16 inclusive

We have not 1, not 2 but  3 surprise parcels of crafty goodies, hand picked by Simon. All winners are chosen at random, Good Luck to all!


Our Junior Design Team have made some super cute creations for your inspiration so please pop over to the Challenge Blog Post  to see them!



If you share your creation on instagram, please add this hashtag so that we can find you #ssskidschallenge




This challenge will remain open until 6pm EST on 29th July. The winners will be drawn at random as soon as possible after the challenge closes.

THIS CHALLENGE IS FOR CHILDREN ONLY. 
Please Note: creations submitted by anyone over the age of 16 will be deleted.

Please add the age of the child after their name e.g. Daniel age 6. Emma age 3

Art Impressions Udderly Fantastic



 I was thrilled to have been crowned the Queen of Snark last week for THIS TAG on the Sisterhood Of Snarky Stampers Challenge and I was invited to be a guest this week!

'O' for Over The Hill!


I love this cow, isn't she fabulous and she isn't the least bit bothered to be sailing away over the hill tops ;-) 


I used a Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders Die to create an 'Over The Hill' and a MFT Stitched Cloud Edges Die for the background.  The fabulously snarky sentiment is included in the stamp set 


and I finished the inside using a Casual Fridays Shenanigans Stamp Set 



I hope you will all join in with this fun challenge!! I am sure you all know someone who's over the hill that you can make a snarky creation for 😜
