Gift It! - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!
The weather has definitely turned chillier in the South West in the last few days & I even gave in & switched the heating on for a while yesterday evening! Hubs will no doubt have the house like a sauna now as he really feels the cold since his stroke so that means I'll be spending the next few months dressed like I'm living in the Bahamas when I'm at home as I find it unbearable.

I am back with my lovely Simon Says Stamp teamies this week after needing to take a week off due to being ill, so lets get down to business!

It's Wednesday which means -
 at
& this week our challenge is
GIFT IT!
This challenge we would love to see you create a gift card or a gift for someone.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog
Don't forget you can enter our challenge 5 times and there is no limit to how many challenges you combine your entry with.
Do you use Instagram ?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too. 

My fabulous teamies & I are featuring Clearly Besotted products on our cards this week. You don't have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we'd love to see them.
For today's card I have die cut Simon's Gift Card Envelope & stamped on it the first part of my sentiment using a sentiment from Simon's Holiday Circle Sayings stamp set, & I've used Clearly Besotted You & I stamp set to stamp the remainder of my sentiment & then framed it with a Prima resin frame.
I've stamped some snowflakes & cute little hearts on my gift envelope in distress ink using stamps from Simon's Winter Warmth & Holiday Envelopes stamp sets. My die cut snowflakes are from Simon's Stitched Snowflakes & the Snowflake Banner dies, they are so pretty & a must have for me now when creating Christmas cards.
The flowers have been whitewashed with watered down gesso & then sprinkled with glitter as they were more brightly coloured than I wanted for this card, & as you can see I have popped a gift card & money in the gift envelope.


As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 voucher for the fabulous

  3. What a fab card and gift in one, Mandy! Love the blue and white colour combo (I prefer frosty colours for Christmas rather than the traditional red and green) Beautifully embellished, as you always do! Hugs, Lisa x

  6. I know I'm in for a treat every time I come to your blog, Mandy! One very lucky child is going to get this incredible creation--love the resin frame, glittered flowers--every detail perfect! I'm so sorry you were sick--just getting over a cold myself. You made me laugh talking about heat in the house. I'm at the point where one minute I'm in shorts & the next I have on my wool sock--haha!
