Hi there everyone! Stopping in with 2 quick cards made with the Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit, Winter Twinkle. Such a beautiful kit! Love the shades of blues, grays, golds and silver! Perfect for the holiday season or anytime of year! You can pick your kit up HERE! :)

Love the polka dot stamp that comes in the Sparkle and Shine Clear Stamp Set that is included in the kit. I stamped it with the TH Distress Embossing Ink Pad along with the Gold Embossing Powder. I also used the Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue and Doll Pink Ink pads as well.

For this card, I just added some May Arts Natural Twine. Everything else is included in the kit. :)

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far!Just stopping in with a card I made for this week's challenge at The Kraft Journal. It is to make a Tall and Skinny card. I started with a Kraft cardstock base that is 3 1/4" x 7". I then added some papers, crystals and a flower from the Coffee Break line by Prima.

I also added some crocheted lace trim and some May Arts Natural Twine. Easy Peasy! ;)

You still have until tomorrow to join in on the fun! :)

Have a great weekend!

Happy TGIF! Hope you are enjoying your day so far! I had a few extra minutes (How did that happen?) to go up to my craft room and create something for fun! :) When I saw today's Free For All Challenge at SCS, I knew I wanted to make something for it! This week's challenge is to make a one layer card and then add embellishments. So only one layer of cardstock... no extra paper layers! One layer cards are always a challenge for me, so I was looking forward to getting out of my comfort zone for this one!

I stamped the background images onto a white cardstock base using the Bo Bunny Distressed Textures Clear Stamp Set. I used various colors of Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I then added some Prima Coffee Break Ephemera and Macchiato Flower. The stamped sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Words Clear Stamp Set. One of my favorite SSS stamp sets! I could use it over and over again! The gold sequins are also from the Prima Coffee Break Ephemera Pack.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

♥ Thinking of You ♥

Hi everyone! Can you believe it is November already? Yikes! Christmas is right around the corner! :)

This week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog is...Thinking of You! 

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Prima! I used lots of goodies from their Coffee Break line! For starters, I used the 4x6 Journaling Notecards for the base of my card. I then added some fun elements from the Ephemera pack as well as some Crochet Icons, Espresso flowers and a wooden Coffee Cup Stick Pin.

I also used some Prima Coffee Break Crystals and I coated the Wood Coffee Cup in some Prima Pink and White Art Sugar. The stamped "Thinking of You" is from the Simon Says Stamp Thinking of You Stamp Set.

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!
