Simon Says: Resist It










Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

This week we are challenging you to create something using a resist technique.

Resist It

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $50 gift voucher to one randomly selected winner to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
It is Amber's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your fabulous projects that you have shared with us over the past few weeks, It has been a great pleasure to have you along with us again !

My nephew has just bought his first home in Holland, quite an achievement, so I made thus card for him :-) Congratulations Niels!! He is a civil engineer so I thought something with a road on it would be appropriate ;-)

I made a card using a Tim Holtz Halftones Cling Stamp and White Embossing Powder to make a heat embossed resist background.



 I then blended Distress Oxide Inks for the sky and used Tim Holtz Cityscape Suburbia and Cityscape Commute to finish the scene.


and I used the excess ink left on the blending tools to make the inside. 




Thanks for looking! 

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating!

Simon Says Stamp 'LOVE' Release


Woo Hoo!! A new 'LOVE'ly release from Simon Says Stamp!! This time it is all about LOVE!!, just in time for Valentine's Day!!

I made a couple of cards to share today using a couple of the new products, a gorgeous Breakfast Buddies Clear Stamp Set and a 'Perfection' Die Set 



For this first one I coloured the cute little images with Copic Markers and used a Nuvo Glitter Pen and Glossy Accents on the egg yolks 


 and I finished the inside colouring a little bit with pencils. 


For this 2nd one I used Candied Apple and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks for the background 


I die cut the base layer of the sentiment out of the card and inlaid the sentiment 'perfectly' ;-)  I used some Tim Holtz Label Letters to complete the sentiment and faux stitched around the edges using a Copic Multiliner Pen. To add more definition I also went around the edges of the die cut using the pen. 

I used the excess ink for the inside but then left it plain for a handwritten note of encouragement. The strive for perfection IS optional!! ;) 








Thanks for looking! 

I am currently in Malta airport about to board a flight to on my way London where I have an overnight stop before travelling to Simon HQ on Friday!! SUPER EXCITED!!! 

I will add a link list when I arrive in London, I don't want to miss my flight!! ;-) 

CLICH HERE  to go to the new release category XX 



Hope you all have a great week :-)
Happy Crafting

Simon Says: Tag It!










Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

This week we are challenging you to create a tag or something with a tag attached.

Tag It!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Please pop by to see what our lovely guest Amber  and the DT have made!! awesome tag goodness!! 

I made a tag to attach to my brother's 60th birthday gift, I am not suggesting for one minute that he is an old goat though 😜


 I white heat embossed the Tim Holtz Graph Background, creating a resist for the Distress Oxide Inks.  I also used a text stamp from a WOW Embossing Wall Art Stamp Set inked with Simon's Slate Grey ink and used a TH Splatters Layering Stencil and Espresso Ink to add more interest. 

 

I used a cute Goat from a Tim Holtz Hipster Stamp Set along with the coordinating die set as the focal point of the tag.
I used an embossing pen to scribble over the sunglasses area and clear embossed to look like real shades ;-) 




Thanks for looking! 

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating!
