You are Fantastic

Hello!

I'm back!! I've had a fabulous break, and hope you have too.
I have plenty to share in the coming days, starting today with a simple card featuring some new Simon Says Stamp goodies.

Simon's latest release - You Have my Heart - is a fun mix of Valentine's and general friendship products, and there's lots to love. Today's card features the Scribble Heart Die, along with stamps from Big U Words. To make it, I first die cut the heart from white card, then inked it up with some Spring Rain ink. I stamped the sentiments onto some white card, then again on the bottom of the die cut heart. I lined up the heart over the sentiment and adhered in place with foam tape.

I added the panel to an Audrey Blue notecard, and finished off with some tiny silver stars (coming to my shop soon). I had to stop myself from adding stitching - I wanted to keep it more masculine looking.

Thanks for visiting - and a very happy new year to you. I hope you enjoy your celebrations.
Bye for now.

Hugs Mini Shaker

Hello!

Today I have a card to share featuring some sweet Simon Says Stamp dies. As it's December, I thought I'd make another card just using dies. :)

To start with I created a little shaker tag with the new Stitched Dress Up Tags die, a Heart Duet die, and the Painted Hugs die. I added some of my Purely Peppermint Shaker Selection, then adhered the tag to a die cut Stitched Rectangle cut from Mint cardstock which I had also cut with the Stitched Whirl Background die.

 

Love all the coordinating stitched detail dies.... they are fabulous!

Right - that's all for today.

Busy busy busy here, as I am sure you all are.

Have a fab weekend, I'll be back soon.

Bye for now.

P.S. I just received some products from the latest Simon Says Stamp release - You Have My Heart. I am hoping to get a couple of cards created with them this weekend - stay tuned. :)

Blue Christmas Wreath

Hello and a very happy Tuesday to you.
Today I have a non-traditional Christmas card to share with you.
This new Floret Frame Die from Simon Says Stamp is beautiful - and here I decided to create a slightly unusual Christmas wreath with it. I added a die cut sentiment along with a bit of stamping, then embellished with lots of my Blue Topaz sequins.

A bit unconventional... but it has a nice wintry effect, I think. And I do so love blue...

I adhered everything in place with glue dots, so it sort of floats off the card in places.

That's all for today - I hope you have a lovely day.
Bye for now.

Congrats

Hello!

Today I have two cards to share, both created with the same dies and papers. I used Simon Says Stamp's new Heart of Roses and Painted Congrats dies, along with patterned papers from Kaisercrafts' All That Glitters pad.

For my first card, I simply layered up the die cuts, embellishing my heart with some clear sequins.

These dies are so beautifully intricate, they make card making effortless.

And for my second card, I used the leftover negative from my first card to create a shaker. I filled it with Simon's Shaker Shack beads then added the die cut Congrats on top of the acetate.

 

I love bead filled shakers - they REALLY shake. :)

The Diecember release may just be one of my favourite Simon releases - such elegant and stylish dies. I love them all!!!

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day.
