Christmas Blessings - Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

 

It's my last week as Guest Designer with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. I've really enjoyed taking part and hope you've enjoyed seeing my creations each week. For this challenge we're to make a CHRISTMAS OR WINTER themed card.  Here in Australia Christmas happens in summer, but I love making winter-themed cards so I've incorporated both. 

This scene was a lot of fun to put together. I really wanted anyone looking at it to feel like they're there in the snow so was very generous with my gesso splatters, even extending them to the card base itself. And in case you didn't notice, the music in the background is 'White Christmas', lol. 

I used Lawn Fawn's Build a Birdhouse and Christmas add-on dies, distress oxide inks, Waffle Flower mini slimline nesting rectangle frames dies, Wow white puff embossing powder, white gesso and Waffle Flower Elegant Christmas 2 stamp and die set.

Stamp It! STAMPtember - Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

Welcome! It's my second week being in the Designer Spotlight with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, and this week it's all about celebrating STAMPtember, a month-long fete of stamping, crafting and cardmaking that hopes to inspire and educate as well as celebrate the fun of stamping and creating. Our theme is STAMP IT!

The lovely people at Simon Says Stamp sent me a brand new stamp set to play with and I had sooooooo much fun! 

Regular visitors will know I do love me a punny sentiment and the idea for this card tickled my funny bone on so many levels. When I showed it to my friend, she nearly wet herself laughing - I guess that's why she's my bestie, she just "gets me". Hope you enjoy it even if you don't share my wacky sense of humour, lol.

I used Simon Says Stamp Pumpkin to Talk About clear stamp set and googly eyes.

Recycle - Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

This month I'm delighted to be a Guest Stamptember Designer over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.  I'll be sharing a project each Monday in September alongside the regular members of the Design Team and hope you'll pop back each week to join me. 

This week's theme is RECYCLE and as it's the first Monday of the month, Simon Says Stamp are showcasing a brand/company and the design team are all using products from Brutus Monroe. (You don't have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them they'd love to see them used.)

So, without further ado, let's dive into my project! 

I recycled a die-cut Spellbinders dancin' birthday dragon from an earlier card (this one). For the background I used distress oxide sprays and inks then stamped polka dots from Tim Holtz's Mr Rabbit set and splattered with Dina Wakely white gesso. I then sprayed with worn lipstick and picked raspberry Distress Spritz through the Brutus Monroe vortex stencil. I finished with a Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words Birthday sentiment and some clear sequins. The whole panel was mounted on recycled corrugated cardboard to give depth and dimension.
