Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit

Hi all :-) Are you having a lovely relaxing Sunday ?  The weather has changed here and it is a miserable grey day with occasional rain, some may be pleased to know ,,, haha :-)

I am here to share another card I made using the Simon Says February Card Kit. Now, I know I say it every month, but I think this kit is one of the best ones yet ! The stamp set is gorgeous and I am just in love with the papers, just my cup of tea and I will be ordering a new pack, so pretty,,, not that I used any of them on this one !! :-)




I made this to join in with todays featured stamper over on the Splitcoast Stampers site. I used Hero Art inks to stamp the flowers, don't they look pretty :-)



and this is the card I CASE'd by Tina DeLong

 I used the same colours and similar layout, can you see a resemblance ? 


Thanks for looking and if you would like to buy a kit then I would recommend considering a subscription, they sell like hot cakes and invariably sell out quickly :-)

Challenges:

Addicted to CAS ,,,, New, Card Kit
Addicted to Stamps ,,,,, Flowers 
Pumpkin Spice ,,, Button Bows or Bling
Brown Sugar ,,,, Anything Goes 
Sister Act Card ,,,, Anything Goes 







Hope you all have a great Sunday :-)
Happy Crafting

Simon Says February Card Kit Card + Silhouette Storage Ideas

Happy Thursday from a sunny Gozo :-) It was raining and miserable yesterday but today we have lovely blue skies with the odd fluffy cloud here and there,,, lovely :-)

I am here to share another card made using the Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit and I used a couple of the new Valentine 2014 products too.


I have to say I am LOVIN' the papers in this kit and will definitely have to buy the pack ! These colours and designs are just up my street :-)
For this card I used this weeks fabulous sketch over on the Splitcoast Stampers site 


Thanks for lookin' :-) If you would like to receive these FABULOUS kits then you really should think about a subscription ! they sell like hot cakes !

Now onto a few things I made to tidy up my craft room using my Silhouette Cameo ,,,,

First up Stickles Storage 


Next we have Silhouette Sketch Pens ,,,,, need more now to fill it up !



I adapted the last studio file design to cut the circles slightly larger for the daubers to fit in and made it a shallower box too ,,,, need more daubers for all the new Simon Says Ink Pads !!,,,,, :-)



Challenges :
Card
ABC ,,,, 'D' for Dazzle 
Card and Scrap ,,,,, Use Bling
Die Cut Diva's ,,, Make It Glitter
As You Like It ,,, CAS and why. I like CAS designs and have a lot of admiration for those who have mastered it :-) I also like the fact that they are easier, and cheaper to post. Something to keep in mind especially for Christmas cards ,,, my bill for postage last Christmas was ugh :-)
Aud Sentiments ,,,, Any Sentiment
Milk Coffee ,,,, Monochromatic 
MAWTT,, Girly Cards ( not pink but definitely girly I would say :-))

It is my Dad's 81st Birthday soon and I made this for him. I used  Tim Holtz Blueprint and Gears embossing folders. I have had this a while and never used it ,,, about time !! :-)


I love Tim's Blueprint range of stamps, I think they are particularly fab for manly cards. Don't look too closely but I had me wonky glasses on and the game piece is glued on a bit off centre. It is well and truly stuck in place with glossy accents so I can't 'udge it over :-)

I really like how this turned out and I hope my Dad does too ,,,, Mum's birthday is on the same day too !! 


Thanks for looking, Please hop on over to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge to see what our fab GD, Elena, and the DT have made ,,, AWESOME stuff :-)
