simon says stamp monday challenge: monochrome

 

 

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Wrap It Up! Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too!

 

This week our challenge is Monochrome and I created a card with a monochrome background using all of my favorite blue green Distress Inks and Oxides. I love how they look when you combine them together. I sprayed the panel with gold spray and also added a bit of black splatter. I cut the flowers out of Mixed Media Heavystock and Glassine and layered them together for added dimension.

STAMPtember® 2018 Tim Holtz Exclusive

Today I am thrilled to be sharing some projects with you with what is always my favorite stamp set of STAMPtember®, the Tim Holtz exclusive! I always love this set each year and this year's is no exception. There are always a great mix of images in this set, and this year...there are some of the fabulous layering stencils included in this set. If you have not tried these you are going to LOVE them! 

This card was created with the trees layering stencil and a simple stamped sentiment on vellum. 

I created an embossed Holly Background on this card and inked the edges to give it a vintage feel. I then stamped the sentiment into a bookmark banner while the embossing powder was still hot and once it was cool, went over it with a Picket Fence Distress crayon. 

For my final card, I used two clean and simple images with a distressed frame. 

There are so may possibilities with this set between the awesome stamped images and the layering stencils that are included. Be sure to pick up yours today as they are only available while supplies last!!!

This week our challenge is Wrap it Up!  and I created some fun Halloween gift card holders for the grown ups, everyone loves a treat! I cut the gift card holders from kraft paper and then added different papers from the Halloween paper stash along with Halloween paper dolls, ephemera and quote chips. These came together super easy and were so fun to create!

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Stamp It On Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too!

 

This week our challenge is Use More Than One Stencil and I created a card using an Alcohol ink panel and Alcohol Lift ink re-inker and a foam blending tool to remove some of the ink through the stencils. I finished off the card with a Shadow script word and a rub on that I added on to a strip of white paper.

neat and tangled: birch leaf

Hi there! It's Day 4 of the Neat and Tangled release...and I am featuring a card using the Birch Leaf stamps and dies today. I love the colors of fall, especially the leaves and I've created a card with Distress Inks in my favorite fall colors with a simple sentiment... 

neat and tangled: oh deer

It's Day 3 of the Neat and Tangled set and I bet you are going to love the new Oh Deer set as much as I do.  These adorable deer images are so fun to color and are perfect for cards year round!!

neat and tangled: stitched cloud die

Hi there crafty friends! It's Day 2 of the Neat and Tangled release and today we are featuring the Stitched Unicorn and Clouds dies in collaboration along with Benzie Felt. These dies are stitchable dies that can be used on a card, or sewn and stuffed with batting as well. If you know me, you know I can just about thread a needle, and that's it. Once I got that done, this cloud die was super easy and surprisingly relaxing to make!  

I created my background panel with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide. Then I cut the cloud out of paper (to give the felt something to stand on) and felt and stitched them both together. I added a tiny heart that is also part of the cloud dies and a sentiment from So Many Sentiments to create this quick and simple card.
