Hi Everyone! Today starts a brand new challenge and a Blog Hop at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge is....
STAMPtember® 'Stamp-It' and Blog Hop!
You must create a project using a rubber or clear stamp, no digi images allowed, add your creation to the linky AND hop around the designers blogs leaving comments along the way.
You should have arrived here from the super talented Mandy's blog, if not, then CLICK HERE to go to the start of the hop on the Simon Says Stamp Store Blog.
TODAY is Heidi's Birthday, as you know Heidi is the owner of Simon Says Stamp and we would like you all to join us in wishing her a very Happy Birthday! Heidi you ROCK!! Have an amazing day!!
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!
We are showcasing the new STAMPtember® products that have just been released. CLICK HERE to see them all. It is a HUGE release with loads of fabulous stamps, dies, stencils and much more !
I used papers from the Mister Fox Paper Pad by Kaiser as well as some Doodlebug Halloween Twine, White Glitter and a Wood Dot by My Mind's Eye.
The next card uses the new Christmas Scene Stencil and Inside Holiday Greetings Clear Stamp Set By Simon Says. (Which works for both inside and outside of cards! ;)
I used paper by Simple Stories, some White Opal Liquid Pearls, May Arts Natural Twine and lots of Chunky Glitter! I made the "snow hill" by simply "filling in" the stencil with some Glossy Accents and then the glitter.
So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!
From here you need to hop on over to the amazing Teresa Kline's Blog!
You have until Wed 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in :-)
Here is the entire Blog Hop List!
Start at the Simon Says Stamp Blog
KIM O’Connell (Designer in the Spotlight for September)
And finally, this is the card I sent to Heidi for her Birthday. I used the Simon Says Balloon Dies and Birthday Messages Clear Stamp Set.
Because of the large and odd shape of the card, I had to make my own "envelope". So I used the Cuttlebug/Anna Griffin Flourish Emblem Die and some pink and kraft cardstock. :)
Have fun hoppin'!!
hugs...
