♥ Simon Says...Make it Masculine ♥

Hello there! There's a brand new challenge starting today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week, it's all about the Boys! MAKE IT MASCULINE...is our theme!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by none other than Mr. Tim Holtz himself! I chose to make some cute little frames with my boys photos in them. These Mini Framed Panels are so fun and easy to use.

I first adhered some TH Etcetera paper to the panel after I distressed them a bit with some Distress Inks and Paper Distresser Tool. I then distressed the outer frames with various Distress Inks as well using the Mini Round Blending Tool.

I finished up the frames with some Ruler Pieces, Gadget Gears and Quote Chips.

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!

♥ Vintage Elegance Bookmark Tag ♥

                                             

Hello there! Happy Saturday to you all! I'm stopping in today with a fun card and matching bookmark/tag using the Vintage Elegance Filigree Bookmark Tag Dies by Amazing Paper Grace! Such a beautiful and versatile set as you can see that I not only made a bookmark/tag with it but a card as well.

To make the card, I simply cut out the part of the card base front where I want to place the die cut. I then adhered the die cut to the top portion of the card base using some Clear Glue. I then adhered the bottom part of the card base that was trimmed to the bottom of the die cut to form the card front.

I then adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the die cut to give some support and strength to the card front. Easy peasy and it has such an elegant look to it. This would make a beautiful wedding card.

The papers I used are from the Primrose Paper Stack by DCWV.

Next, I made a matching Bookmark/Tag also using the Filigree Bookmark Tag Set and DCWV papers. The sweet little tags and sentiments are from the Graceful Tiny Tags Stamp and Die Set also from the Vintage Elegance Collection by APG. Such a sweet set!!

These die sets are out of stock at the moment, but will be in stock very shortly over at Simon Says Stamp. If you click on the links above for them, you can enter your email addy at SSS and be notified as soon as they are in stock! ;)

Have a great weekend!!

Happy Wednesday to you! There's a brand new challenge starting today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge is...ANYTHING GOES!

And the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Technique Tuesday! I am using the Find Beauty Clear Stamp Set on my card. Such a pretty set that has 14 different stamps and sentiments in it. I'm using the "Congrats you did it" stamp which can be used for a graduation card.

I finished off the card with some May Arts Natural Twine and White and Black pearls. The patterned paper is from an old Teresa Collins paper pad called Vintage Finds and I also used the Avery Elle Dotted Borders Dies.

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!
