Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Cute

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

This week the challenge is to make something

Cute

This week we are showcasing the some super cute Wild Rose Studio Products this week. You don't have to use them for the challenge but if you have them 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

Annette, our Designer in the Spotlight has made a super cute card too! please pop by her blog and leave her some cute comments ;)

You may need to grab a comfy chair and some coffee, this is a long post ;) I couldn't just stop at one stamp so I made a set using the latest release!!

First up is a set I made using a Dog with Heart Clear Stamp, perfect for Valentines, Anniversaries etc ;-)

I used a MISTI stamp positioner to stamp the image. Sometimes I find that the Memento Tuxedo isn't black enough for some images and particularly wanted this to be a definite black outline so after colouring with Copic Markers I re stamped with Versafine.

The little heart clip is from Simon's special Edition Valentine Kit, which sold out, but the products are available to buy individually :-)

The papers are part of the new Wild Rose Studio release too, Papercraft House Backgrounds, I love this A4 pack, gorgeous :-)

This next one uses a Milton With Gift Clear Stamp and a Dancing Daisies Paper Pack

as you can see I finished the insides too ;-)

and last but not least is this gorgeous Bunny Ballerina. I did make a coordinating envelope too but forgot to photograph it :-)

So now it's YOUR turn to make something cute!! :-)

Simon Says Monday Challenge: Young At Heart

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

This week we are challenging you to be

Young At Heart

You can interpret this challenge in a number of ways, the obvious being to add a heart onto your project, but you can also interpret as being young at heart and adventurous or daring!

It is the first Monday of the month and that means that we are showcasing a specific company. This week we have chosen to showcase our very own Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Products. You can check out the latest 'Hey Love' release here, its full of 'love-ly' stamps, dies, stencils and more.

This week we are welcoming Nicola aka Paper Profusion into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited Nicola’s blog before then you are in for a real treat, her work is fabulous! Please pop by to give her a warm welcome :-)

I made a card using some gorgeous new shimmery Rose Gold Beeswax Polish and a Drawn Hearts Stencil for the background and also used a fabulous new Stacked Hearts and Stitched Rectangle Dies to make a faux shaker.

I was intending to make a proper shaker, but then realised that I hadn't left enough room around the edges so I faked it and simply glued a few sequins behind the hearts, well, most of us have to fake it sometimes don't we,,,, stick sequins on I mean!! tut ;-)

and I finished the inside, I didn't want to waste all of those lovely left over hearts so I used a few of them :-)

Thanks for looking!

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating! Although we do accept all creations, this challenge is specifically geared to mixed media/artsy style, so if you have never tried it then maybe you should give it a go, it really is a lot of fun to try something new :-)
