♥ Simon Says...Anything but a Card! ♥

Oh, this week at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is gonna be a great one!! We want to see Anything but a Card! So get that creative spark going! Can't wait to see what you all come up with for this one!!

♥ And just to let you know, the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is moving to a new time! It will now go live at 9am Ohio time (Eastern, New York), 2pm UK time, 3pm CET :-) Entrants have until 1 hour before the next challenge starts to join in. ♥


This week the Simon Says DT is featuring products by 7 Gyspies and/or Maya Road. I chose to use some products by Maya Road. I made a Sewing Kit/Pin Cushion out of a Maya Road Tin. I used the one that the chipboard hearts come in, like THIS. Before I embellished it, I painted it with White Acrylic Paint.


 I also used a Vintage Wood Sewing Spool, a Wooden Mini Spool, a Crystal Star Trinket Pin and some adorable little chipboard pieces from the Sew Cute Mini Chipboard Set. All by Maya Road, of course! ;)


The Pin Cushion was made in minutes. Just stuff a little organza favor bag with some fiberfill, remove the bags strings and then hand sew or machine sew the bag closed. Then just hot glue it to the top of the tin! Now you have a little tin that you can keep your sewing needles, thread, little scissors, etc inside and it has it's own pin cushion right on top! If you make your own decorative stick pins, this would be perfect.



 I also used some Prima Song Bird Notecards similar to these on the top and inside of the tin. There is also some Prima and Webster's Pages trims, mini rose, glitter, large crystal, Floss and some stick pins made by the super talented Elise!


And, don't forget, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!
