I have created a card featuring a mix of  Lawn Fawn's Winter Village & Home For The Holidays stamps sets & I have used the Everyday Sentiments Banner dies to die cut a channel for my slider element. 

I have stamped & masked several of the stamps from the Winter Village stamps set to create a scene & then I stamped & masked the car & Christmas tree from the Home For the Holidays stamps set on a scrap of X Press It Copic Blending Card & coloured them all with my copics

Once I had coloured my background scene I used Simon's Falling Snow stencil with Dreamweaver White Embossing Paste & let that dry before assembling my card. 
To create the slider element I used two one pence pieces either side of the die cut channel along with some small circle foam tape adhesive.

I have created a card featuring Stamping Bella's Fiona Loves Flowers which I have coloured with my copics. I literally had to dust off my poor neglected copics as I haven't used them for a long time & I did enjoying having a play with them again.

 The pretty patterned paper is by Moda Scrap & is called Fly & Scrap, the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps Handwritten Borders stamps set & has been stamped using Simon's Black Pigment Ink. For my bling I have added some clear gems & I've also sparkled all the flowers on my image using a Tonic Aqua Shimmer Pen.

Good afternoon lovely peeps!

on our cards this week.
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. 


I have created a card featuring All The Thanks Stamps Set from the new STAMPtember® release along with Simon's beautiful Look For The Rainbows Stamps Set. The Look For The Rainbows Stamps Set is this months stamps set in Simon's September Card Kit Of The Month, and can also be purchased separately.

I began by stamping the Big Thanks sentiment & some cute rows of different lengths music stamps from Simon's Love Always stamps set onto kraft card stock in Simon's Black Pigment Ink, and then added some flicks of White Gouache to it and set it aside to dry.

I stamped and heat embossed a variety of flowers, leaves & stems onto Canson XL watercolour paper using Simon's white fine detail embossing powder & then water coloured them using a combination of PrimaAltenew watercolour pans. I then fussy cut my images and used my bone folder to shape them to add a little dimension before adhering them to my card.

Today I am joining in a blog party to celebrate Simon Says Stamps new 
release.

There is a list of all the designers joining in today's blog party on the Simon Says Stamp Store Blog, you don't need to visit everyone to join in, but the more designers you visit, the more promotional banners you will discover as each designer has one on their blog.

There are lots of new fabulous products in this collection, there's definitely something for everyone and today I am featuring All The Thanks stamps set on my card.


I stamped & heat embossed a variety of the sentiments from the new All The Thanks stamps set onto white card stock using Simon's clear fine detail embossing powder & then I lightly ink blended a variety of Squeezed Lemonade, Shaded Lilac, Broken China & Picked Raspberry distress inks over my card stock.
I then heat embossed the All The Thanks sentiment onto black card stock using Simon's White Fine Detail Embossing Powder and mounted it across my card, and simply added a few Nuvo Ebony Black Crystal Drops to embellish.
