♥ Simon Says...Make your Own Paper ♥

Happy Wednesday!! It's that time again...time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge...No Patterned Paper!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Taylored Expressions. I am using the Winter Flurry Embossing Folder on my card. Using some Glossy Accents, I added lots of white chunky glitter to each of the embossed snowflakes.

The sentiment is from the Big Scripty Greetings Holiday Stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of  Tim Holtz Frosty Film and then backed it with a piece of blue cardstock.

I finished it off with some die cut SSS Alexis and Abby Snowflakes and some more glitter and white pearls.

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. 

I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!

Good morning! I hope you all are having a great Summer so far! Today starts a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge is...Emboss It! We want to see embossed cards. It can be heat embossed, dry embossed or you can use embossing paste.

I did some dry and heat embossing on my card. I first used the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder by Cuttlebug on the larger butterfly die cut. The Butterflies and Tag Dies are an exclusive by Simon Says Stamp.

I then heat embossed Friend on the tag using Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. The sentiment is from the Friendship Butterflies Clear Stamp Set also by Simon Says Stamp.

I also used the Timeless Rectangles Dies by Spellbinders, some Doodlebug White Pearls, a Maya Road Heart Pin and some seam binding and lace trim. The large butterfly was die cut using some Cherry Wood Veneer Paper by Simon Says.

Happy Hump Day! I hope you all are enjoying your week so far! Only a couple of days left until the weekend! woot! woot! But since today is Wednesday, that means it's a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! This week we want to see Embossing on your cards! It can be either Heat or Dry Embossing or BOTH!

This week the Simon Says Stamp DT is featuring products by Stampendous! For my card I chose this new Cling Stamp by Stampendous called Butterfly Post. I first stamped it in some brown inks and then stamped it again onto another piece of cardstock. I cut the butterfly out of the second image and heat embossed it with some Aged Aqua Embossing Enamel by Stampendous. I love the pretty aqua color mixed with the gold. And to get a better effect with this embossing enamel, I heated it up from underneath.

I also used some beautiful papers by Prima from the new Tea Thyme 6x6 Paper Pack. These papers are so pretty and romantic. I also used a Heart Doily, Prima Typo Zipper, Prima Heart Crystal, seam binding and the "love" stamp is from the Exclusive Simon Says Stamp Set called Beautiful Words.

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!
