Simon Says: Stamp It





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





This week we are celebrating STAMPtember® and challenging you to use stamps on your projects, no digital images allowed.

Stamp It On 


STAMPtember® is a very special month in the Simon Says Stamp calendar. Its a time for a big crafty celebration with lots of new products being released and different events happening over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog throughout the whole month of September. This week we are showcasing some new and fabulous STAMPtember Products! Of course you can use whatever you like on your creations!

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! You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!

This week we are welcoming the lovely and super talented Terelisa Agosti aka BiglietTERRYa into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before you are sure in for a treat! It's choc full of fabulous eye candy!

I made a Christmas Card using a STAMPtember® Center Cut Holiday Icons Cling Stamp. 


I used White Embossing Powder and White Pigment Ink to stamp the Holiday Icons onto Watercolor Paper and blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink over the top. I tore along the edge and used a Holiday Background Stamp and Stormy Sky Distress Ink to create a panel for the right side. For the focus I used an Alexis SnowflakeSoft Navy Card Stock, a generous sprinkling of glitter and finished with some machine stitching. 

I used a white gel pen to write the 'Dyan Reaveley' inspired sentiment.


and I finished the inside using a Simon's Exclusive Yuletide Holiday Stamp Set 


and made a matching envelope!




Thanks for looking!
