simon says stamp monday challenge: things with wings

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 Things With Wheels challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Things with Wings and I have used one of my all time favorite dies with Wings, the Tim Holtz Perspective Butterfly. I cut the Butterfly from Black Dura-Bright, then colored it with Alcohol Inks including Snow Cap Mixative, Fiesta, Sunshine Yellow and Valencia. I added just a bit of Gilded Alcohol Ink Alloy. 

For the base of the card I used Distress Black Heavystock and adhered the Butterfly to it using Distress Collage Medium then added Gilded Foundry Wax splatter by mixing a bit of splatter with some alcohol and splattering over the project with my paintbrush and heating it with my embossing gun when I was done. To finish, I added a Sentiment Label Sticker.

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.

This week our challenge is Love is in the Air, and the design team is using Paper Artsy products. We would love if you used some too if you have them. I used my favorite Tim Holtz Heartfelt die along with Paper Artsy Infusions in Are You Cerise and Sunset Beach to create some fun shimmery hearts. I added them to a card and finished them with a sentiment from the Christmas Cutouts dies and a lot of splatter with Gilded Foundry Wax and black and white paints to make it even more fun.

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 Beautiful Blooms challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Food and/or Drink and I created a fun little tea themed wall hanging using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Papercut Cafe dies. I cut all of the cups from Distress Kraft Heavystock and then painted them with Distress Paints. I added a different design to each one of them. For the background, I colored Distress Watercolor Cardstock with Spun Sugar Distress Spray Stain. 

For the sentiment, I used the new Alphaumeric Bulletin dies and a tiny heart from the Stacked Hearts dies.

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.

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 Shake It Up challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Four Legged Animals and I have created a fun mixed media tag with my favorite Four Legged Animal of all, a girl's best friend! I created this tag with a focal point of Solos Paper Dolls on top of layers of Typeset Distress Collage Paper and DIstress Spray Stains for my background. I added Distress Crackle Texture paste through the Dotted stencil with some Distress Embossing Glaze on top for even more texture. I added some ephemera, stitching and an Idea-ology Clippings sticker to finish the tag.

abstract element cards with *new* tim holtz sizzix

Brand new Tim Holtz Sizzix is here now! Have you seen the newest Sizzix dies from Tim Holtz? One of my favorites is the new Abstract Elements dies. You know I love any type of little Abstract Shapes and marks. Today I have a fun set of cards to share with you using these. I cut a ton of these shapes from Distress Watercolor Cardstock that I painted with Distress Paints. I then took all of the shapes and separated them by color. Then I added the shapes using Distress Collage Medium to pieces of Simon Says Stamp Slate cardstock to create little collages. When I was done creating the collages I added each one to a notecard along with a simple sentiment from the Noteworthy stamp set.
