You Fill my Day with Colour

Hi!

I have one more card to share with you created with Simon Says Stamp's March Card kit. And it's another glittery rainbow one. :) I couldn't resist. :)

This card features stamps from the cute stamp set. I stamped the crayons on white card, coloured the tips with Prismacolor coloured pencils, then added Glossy Accents and Doodlebug glitter to the rest. So sparkly and pretty.

Glittery crayons… yes please.  I'd LOVE to own these in real life. :)

Have a sparkly day!

Bye for now.

Smile, Sunshine

Today I have another card created with the gorgeous Simon Says Stamps' March Card Kit. For this card, I used almost everything in the kit. :)  Some of the cute stamps, fab new Law Fawn paper, twine (I separated out the strands and used only the white), and one of the sparkly sequins. I stamped the sun in Simon's Sunshine Ink - a perfect match - and heat embossed with clear embossing powder before adding some wiggle eyes. (Love wiggle eyes…)

I should emboss more… I love the look (but am lazy).

 

More to share soon… see you then.

Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit

This week I am playing with Simon Says Stamps' March Card Kit. It's GORGEOUS. If you like colour, this is the kit for you.
E.T.A - I am entering this card into the Moxie Fab World Styling with Stencils challenge. :)

My card today features just the adorable rainbow stencil and some of the stamps (both also available separately). It is a super CAS card, but was pretty fiddly to make. But I thought it was worth the effort to get that gorgeous glittery rainbow. To make my rainbow, I first adhered the stencil to white card with some washi tape, then added some Translucent Embosasing Paste. When the paste was dry, I applied Glossy Accents very carefully over the paste, before adding some Doodlebug fine glitter - one rainbow colour at a time.

I adore rainbow cards, and I adore glitter! Yay.

My daughter has decided this card is hers. She also loves rainbows (or "reed-buns" as she calls them… I'm never going to correct her, it's too cute.)

Back soon with more cards created with this gorgeous kit.

Bye.

Simon Says Stamp Spring 2014 Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Spring 2014 Release Blog Hop.

If you have arrived from the incredible May Flaum's blog, then welcome. If not, I suggest you head to the Simon Says Stamp blog and start at the beginning. There's going to be a LOT of inspiration AND a TON of prizes.

So… today's the day SSS release their new products. And it's another FAB release. I've come to expect great things from them and have never been disappointed! I just love everything they make. :)

So, on to my card. I used a number of new products on this one. First I used the new Large Dots Stencil. I taped it to some Khaki Cardstock then misted it with White Mister Huey's. After adhering the panel to a card made from Sea Glass Cardstock, I stitched vellum over the top for a softer effect.

Next, I created my shaker balloon. I used one of the AMAZING Ballon dies and cut a balloon from both Sea Glass Cardstock and vellum. Then I cut a load of tiny stars from white card using the Star Border die. After stamping and heat embossing the birthday sentiment from the new Birthday Balloons stamp set, I stitched the balloons together, leaving an opening, then filled with the stars and some chunky white glitter. Finally, I die cut the Daughter (from the new Sisters, Daughter, Niece die set) from glitter card stock and adhered to the balloon. Some silver thread finished it all off.

 

This is one of those "better in  real life" cards. You can't see the glitter so well in the photos but it's a lovely soft effect under the vellum.
