Simon Says Stamp Tulip Collage


Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp  United We Craft Party!!! 



Us crafters have such a lot to be thankful for don't you think! With many of us staying at home as much as possible there has never been a better time to retreat to our crafty areas and have fun!
So with that in mind lets get this party started!! 

There are over 100 of us taking part in this fabulous Simon Says Stamp party and we would love for you to join in! Cet crafty, take some pics and if you use instagram add the hashtag #SSSUnitedWeCraft, we would love to see pics of you and your family crafting too!  Please pop over to the Simon Says Stamp Store Blog to see the whole list and for some more inspiration!

I made 2 cards to share today, both using a gorgeous Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Tulip Collage Die 


First up is this Happy Spring shaker card, I love shakers ;-) I blended Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks and used a LDRS Rainy Day Stencil to create the grass. 


I added a variety of sequins inside the shaker and layered with Lemon Chiffon Card Stock. I just added a little touch of yellow to the tulips using a Y13 Copic Marker 


For this next one I created more of a silhouette night scene using Black and Soft Navy Card Stock and Brutus Monroe Watercolor Galaxy Paper for the background. 


This Tulip Collage Die  is my current favorite die, but as you know Simon Says Stamp have so many gorgeous products it is impossible to choose an absolute fave! 


Do you have a favorite product? If so I would love to know!

We would love for you to share photos with you and your family creating—your kids, your significant other, your pets, or anyone else in your house OR photos of Zoom craft sessions or Instagram story parties that you are having with your creative friends. We want to show how crafting is bringing us together in new ways. You can share your photos in your blog post if you have one, and we would really love for you to share sweet, crafty faces on Instagram and use the hashtag #SSSUnitedWeCraft to allow us to see the happiness that our craft is bringing to the world.

This is my niece Allanah, although we can't craft together I thought I would share this pic of her making a handprint rainbow for the window. 
The rainbows aim to make people smile while they’re walking by, and also offer a message of hope.



Isn't this gorgeous!!! I am sure this will cheer up any passers by ;-) Well done Allanah!!

Simon Says Stamp Party Like A Panda




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


This week the challenge is 

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to us, 
Happy Birthday to us, 
Happy Birthday to u-uussss 
Happy Birthday to us!!

11 years ago TODAY was our very first challenge! We would like to thank you all for sticking with us through the years and hope there are many more birthdays ahead!

As you may know, the  Simon Says Stamp Store is accepting new orders, but have longer shipping times for the moment due to the coronavirus. With this in mind we have made the difficult decision to suspend the $50 voucher for this challenge.
We know that many people are staying safe at home and we would love it if you would continue to enter the challenges and have fun! We are all in this together!

This week we are welcoming the lovely Mindy Eggen into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

I used a super cute Party Like A Panda Clear Stamp Set and a Wonky Rectangles Die Set and made 2 cards, I really wanted to use all of the adorable pandas ;-)

First up is this birthday card




I used a MISTI stamping tool and Momento Tuxedo Ink, then coloured with Copic Markers. I then stamped again using Versafine Jet Black Ink to give the Panda's a lovely dense thick black coat.
 I added a few dollops of Star Dust Stickles here and there. I used a lovely Sunshine Card Stock for layering and 



and I decorated the inside 


Next up is this belated birthday card, aww, the poor panda is so sorry 😢😆


and I finished the inside using the sentiments in the Party Like A Panda Set





So now it's YOUR turn!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge so we can see your entries.

We would also like you to share pics of your creative moments, maybe with your children, or maybe just you having fun with your craft supplies.
Please use the hashtag  #SSSUnitedWeCraft as we all unite together in crafting!
