♥ Simon Says... To Die For! ♥

This week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is all about dies! We want to see any type of creation made with either a die or a punch! Easy Peasy!

This week the Simon Says DT got to play with dies by My Favorite Things! I chose this Die-Namics set called Polka Dot Greetings. It comes with the shaped die and this gorgeous versatile stamp set!

I first ran the die through my Cuttlebug with some light pink cardstock. I then stamped that beautiful polka dot frame onto some white cardstock and then cut it out with scissors and the center I cut out using a craft knife. I then adhered the stamped frame onto the die cut and then stamped the sentiment onto the center. The pearls on the corners are Liquid Pearls in Flamingo. The papers are Cosmo Cricket's Odds and Ends.

I then finished up the card with some seam binding ribbon and some punched Martha Stewart butterflies.

♥ Simon Says...Multi-fold! ♥

This week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is to create a card using multi-folds! There are so many fun folds you can use! There is a Tri-Shutter card (love these), a Napkin fold, Diamond Fold there are so many different folds you can try! I decided to make a simple Stair Step Fold Card.

The Simon Says Stamp DT also got to play with papers by either My Mind's Eye or Jillibean Soup. Since I love My Mind's Eye soo much and use it alot, I decided to go with something different for a change. So I chose the Jillibean Soup 6x6 Paper Pack called Blossom Soup and the Jillibean stamp set called Home Tweet Home. The papers are really sweet and the stamp set is adorable and gives a crisp, clean image.

I also used some Martha Stewart White Glitter and Scallop Border Punch as well as some seam binding ribbon and trim.

And as always, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore!

Have a great day!!
