Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge #602 Oh So Cute, Picket fence

Hi Everyone!

I am here to introduce a new challenge at the fantastic Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week's challenge is called: Oh So Cute
The team is showcasing products from: Picket fence

And this is my take:






I made a cardbase from white cardstock and then cut a slightly smaller panel through which I cut a window using a circle frame die - .  I adhered some pretty pp to the cardbase before adding the panel to the card with foam adhesive. When I had that in place I stamped and colored and trimmed the sweet girl from  and added a diecut You - inside it says - ... are the sweetest.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge #601 Midsummer Blues, Memory box

Hi Everyone!

I am here to introduce a new challenge at the fantastic Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week's challenge is called: Midsummer Blues
The team is showcasing products from: Memory box

And this is my take:





I started by making a cardbase from blue cardstock and then inked a panel the same size as the base. I inked it from dark to light before cutting my floral frame from it. I then cut my butterflies from white cardstock which I then adhered to vellum and trimmed. Last I decorated with some copiccolored mini flowers and some applegreen nuvo drops.


My box with my latest order made it just in time so I could make a card using the beautiful new Cottage Meadow Paper Pad.

Simon Says Stamp Let's Connect Release Blog Hop


Hi Everyone!

I am so excited today to be part of the Simon Says Stamp   Let's Connect release blog hop. It is such an Amazing and fun release - and so perfect for so many different occasions!  If you want to view the full release click HERE

First out I have a very summery card. I started by die cutting a bunch of the WONDERFUL DETAIL-MEDALLION which I inked using distress ink. to color. I spattered the center using DS IRIDESCENT-GOLD watercolor. then I used the  DETAIL-PETAL-PLATE-Wafer cover die to cut my lovely textured panel (this die is just a must have - I will use it again and again (-: It gives your bg the beautiful pattern and texture you want wthout taking focus from your main decoration.

The happy letters are from LARGE-OUTLINE-HAPPY and the embossed HB sentiment is from UNICORN-LOVE

 






Using the same products I created a card with a totally different look:






    I LOVED the result of the card above and thought the black HAPPY outline leftovers from my first card looked striking on the bright bg so I made another similar design: 






      Last but not least I wanted to share a card that I had so much fun making (I think coloring is my favorite part of cardmaking) These Unicorns from  UNICORN-LOVE  are just the SWEETEST!!!  and masking never cease to amaze me: 





      Not only does the  UNICORN-LOVE set have sweet unicorn images - but the large Happy Birthday sentiment will be one of my go to stamps in the future!


      REMEMBER -SSS is generously giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from each designer's blog comment section (Mine too (-: ) . They will choose my winner over the weekend and post on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday, the 12th of August so don't forget to check that out! If you are the lucky winner you should e-mail SSS to claim your prize :)
