Simon Says STAMPtember® Birthday Borders!




Oh my goodness I can hardly believe that another STAMPtember® has spun around so quickly!!! STAMPtember® is a special time of year at Simon Says Stamp. It is a month long celebration of all things crafty and a time when lots of stamping companies come together to create something AWESOME!!

I received a lovely parcel of STAMPtember® goodies and inside it was a gorgeous new Birthday Borders Stamp and Die Set, which I am sure will sell like hot cakes! A craft room 'MUST HAVE' set!! I couldn't wait to rip open the packaging!!


For the background I used a Simon's Exclusive Stitched Rectangle Die and used it cut some Watercolor Paper, I then dipped this into a puddle of Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink and then splattered with Dylusions London Blue Ink Spray

I used Memento Tuxedo Ink to stamp the candles and coloured with Copic Markers. I then added Star Dust Stickles  to the flames. I used Simon's Steel Navy Embossing Powder for the sentiment banner 

and I finished the inside 


and a special card deserves a special matching envelope ;-) 


Thanks for looking!! :-)



You will need to pop back tomorrow for a special STAMPtember® Celebration Party!! Woo Hoo!! 8am EST, 1pm UK, 2pm CET,,, set a reminder on your phone!!! ;-)

Simon Says: Anything Goes




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

This week you can make whatever takes your fancy!

Anything Goes

We are showcasing some fabulous Stampendous Productsthis 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 $50 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 at the bottom of this 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!

It's Julie's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your fabulous projects over the past few weeks! It has been such a great pleasure having you along with us! 
Good Luck with your new 'Julie Hickey Designs'!! :-)

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

I used a House Mouse Carrying Candy Canes Cling Stamp and made a simple Christmas card to add to my box! I am hoping to be better prepared this year ;-) 


As I am sure you all know, these little meeces have a special placed reserved just for them in a little corner of my heart ;-) I have such a great admiration for Ellen Jareckie, the designer behind these images. Ellen is a wildlife rehabilitation specialist and her intimate knowledge of these little critters really does show in her artwork, These little mice all have their own personality, don't you think!! ;-)

I coloured the image with Copic Markers and then used a Simon's Exclusive Falling Snow Stencil, White Embossing Paste and a sprinkling of Prisma Glitter to add texture and sparkle. The sentiment is from an older Newtons Nook Christmas stamp set 




So now it's YOUR turn to get out your supplies and make whatever you like!! :-)
