Simon Says: Make It Sparkle

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

Well, there are now only two more sleeps until Christmas Day!  

On behalf of the entire Simon Says Stamp team may I wish you, your family and friends a magical and fun filled time!

This week the challenge is

MAKE IT SPARKLE

We are showcasing Technique Tuesday 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

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

I used an Umpteenth Birthday Clear Stamp Set and Say It Birthday Craft Die

I am really LOVING my Fuse Tool, I am sure you will have noticed ;-) I do love making shakers and when I used foam adhesives there were occasions when the foam didn't stick properly and bits fell out ugh. The Fuse Tool has put an end to shaker disasters!!

So now it's YOUR turn!

Follow Simon Says Stamp on Instagram

If you use instagram add  #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too!

You have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in

Mama Elephant 'Reindeer Games'

 I can't believe that it's Christmas Eve TOMORROW oh my goodness! SO EXCITED!! :-)

This is the final ABC Christmas Challenge of 2015. I can hardly believe that I have been on this team from the very beginning, Christmas 2009! I started as a GD and stayed, it's such a lovely friendly team to be a part of AND it means that I am generally better prepared with a box of cards filling up throughout the year ;-)

We also have 3 new teamies joining us this week! 

Welcome aboard Sue Mandy and Chrissy

 This time it's the lovely Samantha's turn to host

Z for Zoo Animal 

I used a cute Mama Elephant 'Reindeer games' Stamp and Die Set.

Rudolph's are Zoo animals right!! :-)

I also used a Memory Box Snowy Tree Landscape Die, before I removed the die I embossed with white paste and sprinkled with glitter for a lovely glistening snow effect. 

I have to say, I do love this card, CUTE or what!! :-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL XX 

I hope you have a wonderful time with your family and friends

The Last Papertake Weekly Challenge

It is a sad day for us at the Papertake weekly Challenge, after running for 8 years it's time to pull down the shutters and close it up.

I was a GD in October 2009 and was thrilled when Dawny invited me to stay on the DT! It has been a lot of fun and it was so lovely to get to meet Dawny at the NEC too, we did have fun ;-)

It has been a real pleasure being on the team, we are all good friends and I know that we will keep in touch, it is a sad day but when one door closes another generally opens, so we will see what 2016 has to bring :-)

So for our last challenge the theme is 

Choose Any Previous Challenge Theme!

so that is pretty much Anything Goes, that is a theme too! :-)

Simon Says Stamp is sponsoring with a $25 Gift Certificate 

The DT have lots of prizes on their blogs too, so you need to hope around, leave comments AND enter the challenge in order to be eligible for our blog prizes

I chose the Let It Snow theme and made a shaker card using my new Fuse Tool, LOVE it :-)

I used a Falling Snow Stencil, some White Embossing Paste and a sprinkling or Prisma Glitter for the front, it doesn't show up too well in the photos, but it is lovely and sparkly IRL.

If you like making shakers and hate it when they leak the bits everywhere, then the Fuse Tool is definitely for you! It's so fun to use!! :-D

Thanks for looking. I hope you will join in the challenge and hope around the DT to say goodbye, it is the end of an era!

I will also give away a $25 to Simon Says Stamp

For a chance to win my $25 Gift Certificate to Simon Says Stamp you need to join in with the challenge AND leave me a comment on this post.

Thanks and I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Year's :-)
