♥ Simon Says...Anything Goes with Buttons! ♥

I hope you all are having a super fabulous day so far! We have snow here...AGAIN! Where is Spring? Well, today's new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog is sure to cheer everyone up! 

                              Anything Goes...with Buttons!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Crafter's Companion! They have the cutest stamps and fabulous products including Spectrum Noir Markers! They were very generous and sent the DT some amazing goodies to play with! Thank you so much Crafter's Companion! :) I used the Ornate Accessories Cling Stamp Set (I only used the lace stamp but the set has a lot of fab stamps!) and an older stamp called Time in Paris. I colored in the image using the Cool Greys and Purples Spectrum Noir Markers. I also used some CC Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock.

I embossed the patterned paper using the Regency Damask Embossing Folder also by Crafter's Companion. I finished off the card, with some Prima flowers, a Maya Road Wood Button, May Arts Natural Twine, White Opal Liquid Pearls and a Doodlebug white paper Doily. I covered the wooden button with some Tim Holtz Picket Fence Distress Paint and Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter.

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!

Crafter's Companion is also giving away a Prize pack to a lucky participant! 2 6-pen sets of Spectrum Noir markers and the Crafter's Companion stamp set of choice (carried by Simon Says Stamp).

Hi there everyone! I am off to the airport to pick up my sister and her hubby! We are all super excited to see them! We plan on having a lovely week together! :) And today is also a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

This week we are showcasing products by Wink of Stella. They have the coolest glitter markers! I used the Clear Glitter Brush Tip Marker on my card. I love the shimmer it has! Just the right amount! I need to get 1 in every color!!

I used the Flourish Emblem Die by Cuttlebug/Anna Griffin. It is really big at 5x7, but it is so pretty! I also used Floral Ovals and Small Classic Oval Dies by Spellbinders and the Chrissy and Leanna Butterfly Dies Exclusively by Simon Says Stamp.    

I finished off the card with some Prima Flowers, May Arts Natural Twine, White Opal Liquid Pearls and a gem.

♥ Simon Says Stamp April Card Kit ♥

Happy Tuesday everyone! Well, we had ore snow again yesterday! It was in the 60's last week but old man winter just does not want to leave! So Antonio had another snow day yesterday! They will probably be in school on the 4th of July if this keeps up! ;)

I just received my April 2014 Card Kit, You Brighten My Day from Simon Says Stamp yesterday. And it is a cutie, let me tell you!! Love the sweet stamp set! You can check it out HERE!

I made a cute card along with a matching Lightbulb Favor/Gift.

I added some Lawn Fawn Sky Bakers Twine to the card. It does not come in the kit but can be purchased at SSS. (It is currently out of stock, but will be back in stock shortly!) I also used the Black, Sunshine and Schoolhouse Red Ink Pads by Simon Says Stamp as well. {AMAZING inks!!} ;)

The cute Lightbulb, that goes so perfectly with this kit, can be purchased at Michaels. They would make great party favors or gift for teacher!

Have a wonderful day!

♥ Tag...You're it! ♥

Hello there! It's Wednesday! Time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This time we want to see Tags!! You can add a tag to your creation or make a tag!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing Ranger products!! I used lots of Ranger goodies on my tag! First off, I started with a Manila Tag #8. These are big tags and really fun to use because you can add a lot to them! They look great hanging off a gift bag or just given by themselves. They are also great because of the size, you can add a little pocket to them and actually insert a gift card in it. Instant Tag cards!! :)

The stamped sentiment is by Tim Holtz and is called "Good Thoughts". I also used Tea Dye and Walnut Stain Distress Inks, Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter, Glossy Accents and White Opal Liquid Pearls...all by Ranger!

I also used a Tim Holtz Split Ring Metal Memo Pin and some Prima Flowers and Crystal Heart.

The papers are from the Melissa Frances Classic Elegance Paper Pad and the butterflies are the Martha Stewart 3 in 1 Butterfly Punch. The Natural Twine is by May Arts.

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!

Don't forget to stop by my super fab Simon Says teamies blogs too!! This week we are welcoming the super talented Teresa Kline to our DT!! Yay!

Have a wonderful day!
