This week I am featuring Stampendous Berry Nibbles stamp which is now out of stock I'm afraid but there are lots of lovely other Stampendous goodies available.

I created this card about a month ago as it was for a friend who reads my blog & I didn't want her to see it on my blog first.

The adorable image has been coloured with my copics & I have used Simon's Falling Snow stencil with Dreamweaver embossing paste over my cute image and once dry added a few drops Nuvo Simply White Crystal Drops onto the paste to add a little more dimension. 

I have added glitter to the snow areas on my image for some lovely sparkle and the beautiful flower is by Prima. The sentiment is from Simon's Merry Trees stamp set & has been stamped in Simon's Black pigment ink.

 Other supplies used -

 Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided tape, Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, Tonic Scissors, Nuvo Glue Pen, May Arts twine, Prima Georgia Blues 6x6 paper pad, Simon Says Stamp Stitched Snowflakes, Tim Holtz Christmas Adornments.

Party Time! - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps! 

It's hard to believe Christmas is less than one week away! I am working most days over the Christmas period unfortunately which is the downside to caring for others for a living as this means I will have very little time with my own precious family.

This week I am featuring Your Next Stamps Mini Merry Chris-Moose clear stamp & Mini Star Ink Splatter clear stamp & I chose this little fella as he does look like he's having a party :)

For the background I used Simon Says Stamps Falling Stars stencil & blended Simon's Fog Grey ink through my stencil. I also stamped the Mini Star Ink Splatter stamp a few times on a separate white panel to create a background for my Mini Chris-Moose stamp to be adhered to. I did play around using different Simon inks in deeper colours but I wanted the background nice and soft so as not to overpower the cute image, & I do love the Fog Grey ink.

I matted my stamped & stenciled backgrounds onto Simon's Champagne Glitter card stock & then I die cut Simon's lovely Merry Christmas wafer die in Tonic Gold Dust Glitter card stock to add to my card.

I also created another CAS card using the same stamps and neutral colours.

This little card has been created using Simon Says Stamps Holiday Frame wafer die which I have die cut using Simon's White Woodgrain card stock and matted it onto Simon's Fog Grey card stock.

The pretty stamped background is as before.

 Other supplies used -

 Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided tape, Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, Tonic Scissors, Kraft card stock, Nuvo Glue Pen, Simon Says Stamp Treasure Chest Sequins, May Arts twine, Hero Arts Clear Gems.

This week I am featuring Creative Expressions Ho Ho Ho mini expressions die and I couldn't not use Simon Says Stamps adorable little Santa with it from Simon's Christmas Cheer stamp set. I received this lovely stamp set in Simon's December Card Kit which has sold out but you can buy this Christmas Cheer stamp set and the others elements of the kit separately in store. 

The background was kept simple and I created it by stamping some of the other stamps from the Christmas Cheer stamp set onto kraft card stock using Simon's White pigment ink and I added some small gems to the center of my snowflakes.

I coloured little Santa with my copics and then fussy cut and foam mounted him onto my background. I die cut my Ho Ho Ho sentiment twice using silver glitter card stock and layered them together to add some dimension.

The copic colours I've used are -

R89, R59, R39 / C3, C1, C00 / W4, W2, W0 / N9, N7, N6

 Other supplies used -

 Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided tape, Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, Tonic Scissors, Kraft card stock, Nuvo Glue Pen, Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter, Simon Says Stamp White pigment ink,

 I recycled a gift box that I was given a bracelet in and used Sunny Studios Cable Knit embossing folder to create a lovely textured background for my gift box. 

I added lots of lovely embellishments and really enjoyed creating this little gift box as I've created so many CAS cards lately that it was nice to create something different for a change.

Simon Says DieCember®

Good morning & happy 1st of December!

I know lots of people look forward to this day as they decorate their Christmas trees, & in the crafty world there is also lots to look forward to as it's time for Simon Says Stamp's fabulous DieCember®

I have created a CAS card with just one of the lovely new dies available today.

I die cut the You're Doing Awesome die using some Gold Mirror card stock & also some of Simon's Mini Stars using  Simon Says Stamp's Black card stock and adhered them to my card. 

I wanted to keep with the classic black & gold theme with my white background and added a few of Simon's Treasure Chest sequins & some Ebony Black Nuvo Crystal Drops to finish.

The DieCember® collection is available in store now and don't forget to keep an eye on the Simon Says Stamp store blog for special features, sales, education & inspiration featuring die cutting.
