♥ Ice Skate Tag ~ Tim Holtz Style! ♥

Hi there! Today starts a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

        It's Anything Goes! Any type of paper craft will do!!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Tim Holtz/Ranger! (My favorite!) I decided to make a tag this week since it was TH week!! I used the super fun Ice Skate Sketch Stamp as well as the Ice Skates Stamp from the Old Fashioned Christmas set.

I first colored the white tag with various Distress Inks. I then used the Falling Snow Stencil by Simon Says Stamp after the inks were dry. I just simply rubbed a white ink pad over the stencil to faintly give a little snow to the tag. I then stamped the Ice Skates stamp in Black Soot ink. I then added the Ice Skate Sketch to the tag using a brad. I added some White Glitter to the skate and also some Kate Snowflakes and White Opal Liquid Pearls.

I finished off the tag with some hand dyed seam binding and a gem.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

To everyone here in the U.S. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow! Don't eat too much turkey!!

Have a wonderful week!

Woo-Hoo! We have reached the middle of the week! Weekend here we come! And that also means that it's time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This time we have a fabulous sketch by our own super talented (and sweet) Heather!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Jane's Doodles and/or Authentique! I chose to use the Glistening 6x6 Paper Pad by Authentique. It has so many fun and pretty papers including that vintage image you see on my card.

I also used the Kate Snowflake Die an exclusive by Simon Says Stamp. LOVE this Die!! I also used the Frosty Sentiments Stamp Set by C.C. Designs. I finished it off with some White Opal Liquid Pearls and some White Glitter.

♥ JustRite Friday Challenge #110 ♥

Hi there! I hope you all are having a wonderful day so far! Just stopping in with a card I made for the current JustRite Friday Challenge, Bleach Stamping Technique. This is not the first time I have done this technique and it is really fun and easy. It makes a card look very different and unique. You can find the tutorial on it HERE.

I used JustRite's The Scoop Vintage Labels Four Clear Stamp Set for my card. I first stamped the Vanilla Label onto a piece of black cardstock using embossing ink. I then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I then "colored" the image with some bleach and a brush. The bleach against the black cardstock gives it a cool, aged look.

I then stamped the cone in 2 parts. First I stamped the bottom cone part onto a piece of kraft paper using Tea Dye Distress Ink. I then heat embossed that with clear embossing powder. I then colored in the image with bleach and then used some Distress Markers to finish the cone. I then stamped the ice cream part of it onto a piece of pink cardstock using clear embossing ink and then heat embossing it with clear embossing powder. I then "colored" that in with bleach and then left it like that. The pink cardstock shows on the "edges" and the white part is bleached. Looks really cool irl! :)

There is still plenty of time for you to join this challenge and try a new technique or 1 you haven't done in a while! Just visit the JustRite Inspiration Blog!!

Have a "Sweet" Day!

Hi there! Just stopping in with an all white card I made for the current JustRite Friday Challenge, WOW! (White on White) There is something so elegant about an all white card. I guess it makes me think of a beautiful bride! :)

I used the Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles Die Set as well as the Opulent Ovals Die Set to make several different layers. The flower and sentiment is from the JustRite Floral Vintage Labels Two Cling Stamp Set. I love that gorgeous flower! It looks so dimensional and has so much depth to it. I finished off the card with some white ribbon, Liquid Pearls, white crystal heart, white glitter and a gem as my bow's center.

You still have a couple hours left to join this challenge!

Have a wonderful night/day!

♥ Thankful on Thanksgiving ♥

Happy Wednesday! It's that time again...time for a fun new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This time we want to see Thank You or Thanksgiving Cards!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Hero Arts! I chose this cute clear stamp set called Thankful. There are a lot of cute stamps in this set.

I also used the FYI 6x6 Paper Pad by Farmhouse. Love that paper with the torn cardboard. Yes that brown paper is 1 piece. Doesn't it look real?? I also used a real piece of cardboard that I tucked into the pocket along with the stamped "5 Reasons" and pumpkin. I finished it off with some White Opal Liquid Pearls, seam binding and lace.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!
