♥ Shabby Little Gift Box ~ Amazing Paper Grace ♥

Happy Sunday to you! I'm stopping in today with a couple of creations I made with some beautiful Spellbinders Dies by Amazing Paper Grace.

First I made this sweet little shabby box with the Mini Card/Booklet Gift Box Dies. This box took no time at all to make! They are so sweet! And because of the way that you put them together, they are actually really sturdy. They are prefect to give a little gift or gift card in or just to use yourself! ;)

I added a little ribbon pull on the top to make it a little easier to open especially with all of the embellishments on the top. I also used a Spellbinders Francesca Label on the top as well. The papers I used are by iralamija.

Next I made a vintage inspired card using the Spellbinders Marcheline Plume Dies. Such a pretty set of dies!

The papers I used for this card are from the Primrose Stack by DCWV.

All of the Dies I used are from Becca's Venise Lace Line.

Hope you have a great week!

Happy Wednesday! And since it's Hump Day that means it's time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This weeks challenge is...SPLATTER IT!

And the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Ranger! I used several Ranger products for my card. I started off by stamping the Stone stamp by Tim Holtz on my card base with some Iced Spruce Distress Oxide Ink. I then sprayed over the image with some MICA Sprays. I then added some Distress Grit Paste and then some Clear Rock Candy Distress Stickles Dry Glitter.

 I then stamped the TH Written Sparkle stamp, which was stamped in some Black Soot Distress Ink and added the TH Butterfly 8 image. I finished it off with some May Arts Natural Twine, a pearl and some Pretty Pink Posh Clear Droplets.

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!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too. 

And finally, don't forget we have a Summer Vacation Kids Challenge going on right now as well. It's for kids 2-16 and goes until the 31st of August!
 

Have a great day!

♥ Simon Says Stamp Summer Vacation Kid's Challenge! ♥

                    

Welcome to another of our annual Simon Says Stamp Summer Vacation Kid's Challenge where we host a special challenge dedicated to our young designers.

            ANYTHING GOES WITH SPARKLE

It is time for all you crafters to let your children loose in your crafty corners for a few hours. Just close your eyes and set them free to explore their creativity. You are allowed to hide your Copic Markers and extra special papers and you are allowed to help just a little bit if necessary, but we really want the children to 'DO IT' themselves as much as possible.

This challenge is open to all children aged between 2 and 16 inclusive

We have not 1, not 2 but 3 surprise parcels of crafty goodies, hand picked by Simon!

                              

                              

The challenge will be posted on the Wednesday Challenge Blog 1st Aug at 9am EST and will finish at 6pm EST on Aug 31st

♥ Here are a couple of cards that my kids made as part of the Simon Says Stamp Jr. Team. :) ♥

This was made by my oldest son Antonio. He hand drew his pickle people (LOL Say that 3 times fast!) and then added some sparky Green Glitter to the outer images to give it sparkle. The Big pickle is giving the little pickle a card. :) He finished it off with some Clear Droplets by Pretty Pink Posh.

And this one was made by my little guy, Santino. He used the Fox on a Branch Clear stamp by Wild Rose Studio for his card. He colored it in with some Colored Pencils and then added some Distress Glitter over the image. He asked me to make a bow for him out of twine, so then we added that to finish it off. Love his handwritten sentiment. :)

I can't wait to see what your little ones create!!
