Shari's Tree No 2 :-)

Hi all :-) I bought all 3 of Shari's Trees a while ago and this is the first inking of tree No 2 ,,, hopefully 1 and 3 will be inked up soon :-)

I made this to join in with the Blingtastic Challenge on the Splitcoast Stampers 'Hope You Can Cling To ' event

I think this tree just lends itself to bling !

I used embossing paste and a new Simon Says Stamp Stencil to make a snowfall background.

Simon Says Stamp November 2013 Card Kit card :-)

Hi all :-) I am totally lovin' this new Simon Says Stamp November Card Kit :-) the stamp set and products in there are AWESOME :-)

The first card I made using the kit was all pink and girly CLICK HERE if you would like to see it, so this one I went for a more masculine feel.

I picked up on the colours that were in the very slight design around the edges and stamped the circles with mid tone inks. I used one of the Kelly Purkey stickers from the kit to stamp the sentiment onto.

I popped a hidden sentiment behind the flap too :-)

I really LOVE receiving these kits !! It's like a fab birthday EVERY MONTH !! They do sell out really quickly so to be sure of getting one you really need to think about subscribing :-)

Maybe treat yourself for Christmas or drop hints to your other half ,, you are SO worth it !! :-)

Challenges :

Fab n Funky ,,,, Spots and Stripes

The Stamping Chef ,,,,Spots and Stripes

Milk Coffee ,, Spots and Dots

Simon Says ,,,,, Christmas/Happy Holiday

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge !! Thank you for joining us for the Rubber/Clear Stamp Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too :-)

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

CHRISTMAS/ HAPPY HOLIDAY

Any Christmas/Happy Holiday creation :-)

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

I used some of the new release Christmas products exclusive to Simon Says Stamp, a Happy Meowday stamp set and a Holiday Layered Tree stamp set :-)

I love this cute little kitty and coloured him in a little bit like my 'Tom' but a bit lighter grey :-) As you can see from the side view I layered the gift and the cat and didn't bother to mask, though now I am thinking I should have done :-)

I used some sookwang tape for the star and sprinkled with yellow chunky glitter, I love how sparkly it is IRL and as I am 'in love' with sequins I popped a few on there for baubles :-) They are so much cheaper than pearls and gems and so trendy too !

I must admit I love this card and think I am keeping it to give to Amy so it stays here :-)

Thanks for looking, Lucy, our designer in the spotlight, and the DT have made some awesome creations so please hop on over to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge to see them :-)

So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!
