♥ Glimmer Hot Foil ♥

Have you seen the New Glimmer Hot Foil System from Spellbinders?? OMG I am hooked! It is so fun and easy to make shimmery, professional looking foiled cards with this machine! And all of the fabulous plates that you can use with it are just beautiful! For this card, I am using the Warm Winter Wishes Holiday Glimmer Hot Foil Plate. The snowman, sentiment and snowflakes are all on one plate! So you just let it warm up on the Glimmer Hot Foil Machine and then run it through your Platinum Die Cutting Machine or other approved machine and you have this amazing foiled image! Easy Peasy!!

     
Look at all of that shimmer!

Becca from Amazing Paper Grace also has her own line of Glimmer Hot Foil Plates! And they are simply stunning!! You can find them HERE! I will have some amazing cards using them up real soon! I am also using the Hemstitch Squares Etched Dies by Becca on this card.

Hope you have an AMAZING Day!

♥ Simon Says...Let it Snow ♥

Hello there! Today starts a brand new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge...LET IT SNOW! We want to see snowflakes, snowmen, wintry scenes, etc!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Art Impressions. They have so many adorable stamps! The only problem is I grabbed the wrong stamp when I made this card! It is actually a stamp called Eskimo Kisses and it is by Impression Obsession! Oops! But it still fits the theme! :) Make sure you check out what the rest of the amazing DT did with their AI stamps!

I colored in the image with some Distress Markers and lots of Doodlebug Sugar Coating Glitter. I also used the Abby Snowflake Die, Stitched Circles Dies and the sentiment is from the Big Scripty Greetings Holiday Clear Stamp Set all by Simon Says Stamp.

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!

♥ Simon Says...Get Krafty ♥

Happy Wednesday to you all! It's time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week we want you to "Get Krafty" and Use Kraft!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Hero Arts! You don't have to use them to join in on the fun but if you have them, we would love to see them! I am using this cute "build a snowman" clear stamp set called Frosty Wishes. I just stamped the snowman, his face and hat using some Black StazOn on white cardstock and then cut them out. I did the same with the scarf and stick arms using Lipstick Red Ink by Simon Says and Walnut Stain by Ranger. The buttons were stamped in Caribbean Blue Ink by Simon Says and the carrot nose was colored in with the Spiced Marmalade Distress Marker by Tim Holtz. I filled in the snowman's body with some Glossy Accents and then some Chunky White Glitter.

I also used some Kraft Cardstock by Hero Arts, some Medium White Pearls also by HA and some Twine by Lawn Fawn. I "shaded" the kraft cs with some Frost White Ink to give the card front a frosty look.

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!

Have you seen the new Simon Says Stamp Store Website?? You can see it for yourself HERE! Happy Shopping!! :)

Hope you have an amazing day!
