Reach For The Stars

We are showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp Exclusive 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.

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $25 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 on the challenge blog 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!

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

I used a fabulous Congrats Grad Die Set and made a pop up graduation card!!

I also used this gorgous quality Black Card Stock and some gorgeous sparkly Aqua Glitter Paper.

I used a starry stencil which is now retired but you can easily make one by using a Tim Holtz Swirling Stars Die Set and some masking paper. I used Hot Foil Transfer Gel and when it was dry I used a Minc Foil Applicator Machine and Heidi Swapp Teal Silver Ombre Foil, but obviously you can choose any color foil you like! I also made an extra strip to decorate a Silver Metallic Envelope

What a fabulous die set this is!! It creates folds so the mortar board pops up to reveal the congrats inside. The die set also has a die to add slots for you to add a gift card if you like.

So now it's YOUR turn!

Honey Bee Penny The Platypus

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

This week the challenge is

FOR A CHILD

We are showcasing Honey Bee 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.

Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our fabulous design team have made :-)

I used a Penny The Platypus Clear Stamp Set and made a birthay card for a little girl :-)

I colored Penny with Copic Markers and added ballons, gift and card! ;-) For the background I used a LDRS Rainy Day Stencil with Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemon Distress Oxide Inks and a Lawn Fawn Grassy Hills Die.

This photo gave me the idea to make ber beak purple, just in case you were wonderin' ;-)
