I used a Simon Says Stamp Sending Smiles Words and Shadow Die Set and Vicki Boutin Lets Wander Paper Pack and Mini Cards and Envelopes from the September Card Kit.

I had ordered a gorgeous Starry Forest Etched Die to use today but it hasn't arrived yet, can't wait!! I will be back with a card made using it ASAP!! ;-)

I love this Sending Smiles die and know I will use it a lot!! These cards are quite small, 23/4 X 51/2 so a lovely size to send a little note. I made envelopes to fit/match too ;-)

for this 2nd one I stitched around the edges to add a little more interest. I will be sending these to my kids to let them know I am thinking about them :-)

I clear heat embossed the sentiments to give them a lovely glossy look.

So now it's YOUR turn!

Tim Holtz Bottled Up Bigz Die

Hi all!Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

This week the theme is

FRAME IT

Pease pop by the challenge blog and see what fabulousness our guest Tracy and the DT have made!

I was inspired by THIS beautiful wall hanging made for me by Macarena and decided to make something similar.

I used a Tim Holtz Bottled Up Bigz Die and a Wildflower Stems Die for the focus and a Stacked Deckled Die for the frame.

She used various Distress Oxide Inks along with a STAMPtember® Autumn Splendor Stencil and a Tim Holtz Burlap Layering Stencil.

I clear heat embossed the bottle using a Simon's Exclusive Damask Cling Stamp and then blended Crackling Campfire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks over the top.

Thanks for looking :-)
