Today's card features Avery Elle's Star Frame steel die.

I have teamed the Star Frame Die with Simon Says Stamps Amazing clear stamp set to give my card a 4th July theme.

I began by stamping some of the images from the Amazing stamps set using Simon Says Stamps Lipstick Red, Schoolhouse Red & Blue Violet ink pads. I then die cut the Star Frame die using Soft Navy, Schoolhouse Red & White Woodgrain card stock and then arranged the die cut stars & the Star Frame die cut onto my stamped background. 

I had a crazy idea to cut some of the red & blue stars off the spare die cut frames and attach them to the white frame which I had used on my card and this was something I regretted once I'd started as it was so fiddly to do, but I do like the result of adding them.

Other supplies used - 

Simon Says Stamp Black Ink Pad, Tacky Glue, Double Sided Tape, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer, Berry Red, Navy Blue & Simply White Crystal Drops,

Create A Scene! - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!

 at

SIMON SAYS STAMP WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE

This week our challenge is -

Create A Scene!

The design team are featuring

Lavinia Stamps

 products 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. 

Today's card features Lavinia Stamps Snowy Silence Scene Scapes, Silence Clear Stamp & Acetate Circle Mask Stencil.

Lavinia Stamps is a brand I'd not used before & I was a bit stumped at first when choosing products for this challenge as many of those I picked went out of stock before I checked out so I opted for a Christmas theme, and thought I would try one of the pretty Scene Scapes backgrounds as I'd not even seen those before. Simon Says Stamp has since had a big restock and there are lots of lovely Lavinia Stamps products back in stock now :)

The Scene Scapes makes card making so much quicker which will be a big help around Christmas time as I never seem to create enough cards to send only handmade cards so these will help to boost my stash.

I've created a moon by using the Acetate Circle Mask Stencil & ink blending Simon Says Stamps white pigment ink through the stencil. Once I had good ink coverage I removed my stencil and masked the moon before lightly blending white ink around the moon.

I've stamped the Santa in his sleigh from Lawn Fawn's Winter Skies stamp set & also Lesia Zgharda Carpathian Pines clear stamps, & the die cut Star Of Wonder is by Memory Box.

Other supplies used - 

Simon Says Stamp White & Black Pigment Ink Pad,  Simon Says Stamp Woodgrain cardstock, Tacky Glue, Double Sided Tape, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer, Simply White Crystal Drops

SIMON SAYS STAMP WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE

This week our challenge is -

Masculine!

Simon Says Stamp 

 exclusive products 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. 

Today's card features Tim Holtz Intertwined 3D Texture Fades, Film Strip Ribbon, Tiny Attacher Mini Stapler, Mini Paperclip & Distress Inks.

To create the sentiment I randomly added a variety of blue Distress Inks onto my card and then die cut it using Simon Says Stamps Happy Birthday wafer die.

Our masculine challenge is always a challenge for me as I'm not a fan of masculine cards & it's fair to say they aren't one of my strengths! The only masculine cards I always enjoy making is for a baby boy, as I love making baby cards.
