Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit

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

This week the challenge is to

Emboss It 

You can choose to Heat Emboss, use an Embossing Folder, Embossing Paste, or whatever other embossing technique that you can think of!

We are showcasing WOW 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.

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $25 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  on the challenge blog 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!

I used WOW Ebony Embossing Powder and All That Jazz Glitter Sparkles and some products from the Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit to make a rather stylish card! 

I used a Powder Tool over the White Cardstock, to prevent loose powder sticking where it shouldn't, and then used Versafine Ink, a Simon Says Stamp Rose Lattice Cling Stamp and the Ebony Embossing Powder  to make the background design. 

I then used a gorgeous Simon Says Stamp Blossom Field Embossing Folder to add the design to  more white card stock and tore it down the edge.  I then die cut the Big Scripty Hugs and sprinkled the  All That Jazz Glitter Sparkles over the top. I added a few of Simon of Orca Sequins  to finish

and I used an extra scrap of stamped card to decorate the envelope. 

So now it's YOUR turn!

Simon Says Stamp Engraved Feather

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

This week the theme is

Lazy Days Of Summer

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $25 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  on the challenge blog post!

Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, Megumi , and the DT have made :-)

I look forward to the lazy days of summer when I can relax by the pool or on the beach and immerse myself in a good book ;-) I thought it was about time that I made myself a stylish bookmark rather than using scraps of paper ;-)

I splattered the background with Distress Resist and when they was dry I blended Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade Oxide Inks over the top. I used Tim Holtz ClockworK Stencil with Black Soot Distress Ink and the letters in a Mini Stencil Set 5 Stencil with Blueprint Sketch Ink for the background. I stamped some script text with Faded Jeans Archival Ink and I used a Simon Says Stamp Engraved Feather and a couple of Big Chat Stickers to finish.

Thanks for looking :-) 

So now it's YOUR turn!

House Mouse Cool Treat

Hi all :-) I am here with a reminder to please join in with the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge,

This time Karin is hosting and the theme is 

Anything Goes 

+ the option of Easel Card

I made an easel card using this new and super cute Stampendous, House Mouse Cool Treat Cling Stamp

 The little ones are really enjoying their orange ice lolly, its so hot! ;-)

I colored with Copic Markers and added some star dust stickles here and there. I love how this sparkles!! The sentiment is from an older Simon Says Stamp 'Really Like You' stamp set.  The paper is from my stash box, sorry, I don't know which pack but think it's Doodlebug, and I added a few sequins to finish 

and I made an envelope to match by simply using the leftover scrap of paper

Thanks for looking! You have until Sunday 18th July to join in! :-)
