simon says stamp monday challenge: frame it

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the Love Is in The Air challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is FRAME IT and I created a fun tag with a Tim Holtz Photobooth photo that is FRAMED by Simon Says Stamp leaf diecuts - the Delicate Leafy Branch and the Etched Flower and Leaves dies. I created the tag base by layering some Typeset Collage Paper over a Distress Watercolor Cardstock tag, then I layered a tag that I had created with Alcohol Ink Clear Dura Lar over the Typeset tag to show off those colors. I stitched the tags together, added my Photobooth, a small talk sticker and some splatter with Black Soot Distress Paint and Gilded Foundry Wax. To finish the tag I added some letters cut from the Alphanumeric Emporium letters cut from Metallic Kraft Stock.

simon says stamp monday challenge: beautiful blooms

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the 4 Legged Friends challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Beautiful Blooms and I have created a sunflower card for a friend who loves them using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Blossom Thinlits. I started by spraying a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock with Distress Spray Stain in Tumbled Glass. Then I stamped the Ledger Script randomly using Hickory Smoke Distress Arcihval Ink. 

To create the sunflowers, I cut the Blossom die from Distress Watercolor Cardstock and inked the centers with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo and set them aside. Then I assembled the flowers by adhering them together and ink blending over the top with my Simon Says Stamp Blending brushes, using the smaller brushes to shade them in. Once that was done, I used my Distress Watercolor Pencils to give the area near the centers some shading. I adhered one of the flowers to the card, then adhered part of the other flower, trimmed it and adhered the remaining part until I had four partial flowers surrounding it. 

I stamped and embossed the Hello There sentiment from the Noteworthy stamp set onto a piece of black cardstock and adhered it. Finally I splattered some Opaque White over the entire panel and adhered it to a card base.

simon says stamp monday challenge: shake it up

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the Light It Up challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :)  This week our challenge is Shake It Up, and we are making cards with shakers...or whatever else you have that fits into the theme. 

I wanted to create a fun valentine with the Tim Holtz Sizzx Retro TV die. I cut the die from Grey Woodgrain, added lots of red and pink Lovestruck shaker beads inside the Sizzix Round Square dome and put the TV together. For the outside I added little hearts in place of the knobs with a bit of glossy accents to make them shine. For my background I kept it simple with a tone on tone pattern using pieces from the Atomic Elements set. And finally for the sentiment, I created my own using Sizzix Adhesive sheets on the back of the paper that I used to cut out the Alphanumeric Label dies to make it super easy to put together.

simon says stamp monday challenge: holiday cheer

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the Winter Mood Board challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Holiday Cheer and the design team is using products from Tim Holtz. We'd love if you used some too, but it is not a requirement for the challenge. Today, I took a bright background that I made with Distress Watercolor Pencils on Kraft Heavystock and then sewed a layer of vellum over it. I added a fun Papercut Christmas Santa. To finish my tag stamped a greeting from the Bold Tidings Mini in Versafine Clair ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. To finish it, I added some Distress Paint splatter and a few stars from the Christmas Cutouts dies.

simon says stamp monday challenge: stamp it

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the Mixed Media challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Stamp It and the design team is using products from Simon Says Stamp in order to celebrate STAMPtember! This week our challenge is to use a stamp...and I have saved the stamping for the inside of my card, because who would want to cover up those Etched Oak Leaves? 

I combined some Distress Ink Etched Oak Leaves inked with my favorite fall colors of Distress inks with the Handwritten Hello cut from Tim Holtz Metallic Kraftstock. I foam taped all the leaves to the panel, turned it over and trimmed off the edges and then added a splattering of Distress Foundry Wax then heat set it for some more interest.

simon says stamp monday challenge: inspired by a movie

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the Alcohol challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Inspired by a Movie, and this week I was inspired by the movie The Man Who Knew Infinity. I created a background using Distress Watercolor Cardstock and sprayed on Distress Spray Stains in Uncharted Mariner, Scattered Straw, Crackling Campfire and Bundled Sage and sprayed water, added a few more layers and dried it with a heat tool. 

Once the panel was dry, I stamped images on it from the Stampers Anonymous Weird Science and The Chemist sets using DIstress Archival Inks in various colors. I also added a bit of texture to the panel using the Linked Circles stencil and Transparent Texture Paste. 

I finished the card with Gilded Foundry Wax Splatter, White Splatter and a sentiment from the Noteworthy stamp set that I stamped in Black Soot Archival Ink and went over with some Scattered Straw Distress Ink.
