Simon Says...Anything Goes!!

Hello! It's Wednesday! And that means it's time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's theme is...ANYTHING GOES! 

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Lawn Fawn. I made a couple of cute little treat filled Halloween pillow boxes using the Scripty For You die and some sweet Cord twine in Tangerine and  Black Tie. I also used the super sweet Stitched Pumpkins Dies by Simon Says Stamp. The pillow box is by Simple Stories but it's currently out of stock but Lawn Fawn has a cute pillow box die. :)

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!

♥ A Vintage Halloween Card ♥

Happy Friday!! What are your plans for the weekend? Our son, Antonio, has a Halloween Soccer Tournament tomorrow, which is expected to last most of the day. So that's where we'll be! Sunday is church and then spending time with the kids and then I have some creating to do! ;)

I wanted to stop in today with a sweet, vintage Halloween card made with some SPOOK-tacular goodies from the iralamija shop on Etsy! I am using the Harvest Collage Background papers, Spooky Tags Collage and that sweet mason jar is from the Halloween Jars Collage.  

The sweet bats are actually one of the "fillers" for the jars from the Halloween Jars Collage.

I hope you stop by the iralamija shop to see all of the amazing shabby chic, vintage digital collages that are in the shop!! I'm not one to promote digital images much except for these!! I could use them every day, if I had to! ;)

                                             

I'll be back Sunday with a sneaky peek of my next Shimmerz Paints DT Creation! And there might just be a giveaway there too! {wink} {wink}

Have a great weekend!

♥ Little Wooden Halloween Basket ♥

Hi there! Stopping in with a cute little wooden basket perfect for Halloween or any Holiday or Occasion!

I used some sweet collages from the iralamija shop to make it. The papers are from the Harvest Collage and I also used the Spooky Tags Collage too. The iralamija shop has lots of different tags and papers for all holidays and occasions. So these baskets can be changed out with any theme you like! :)

I used a sweet little wooden basket that you can pick up at Michael's. I first trimmed some paper to fit along the front and back of the basket. Adhere with hot glue.

 
I then added some trim along the front and back and some sheer orange bows on the sides of the handles.

I then added twine bows onto the sheer bows as well as buttons and 2 of the cute Spooky Tags. The tags are great because they can be re-sized to any size you like by using any simple Photo Editing Software.

I then filled the inside with some burlap.

They make a sweet gift or candy holder for someone special.

They would also look cute filled with a little bag of nuts or chocolates and then add names to the tags and use them as a Place card Setting on your Holiday Table. Your guests will also have a parting gift for them to take home as a little gift!

Hope you stop by the iralamija shop to see all of the beautiful shabby chic and vintage collages that can be used over and over again! :)

                                            

Hope you have a sweet day!

Hi there! It's time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge is...A Color Inspiration Challenge!

The wonderfully talented Jenn Shurkus has created a fabulous inspiration board for you all!

And the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Stampendous! I am using the super cute Witchy Cat Cling Stamp for my card. I love how big the image is! You don't really need to add anything else to your card when using such a large image. I colored in the image with a mix of pastel chalks and Distress Markers.

The papers are from the KaiserCraft Mister Fox 6.5 x 6.5 Paper Pad.

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!

♥ Shabby Pumpkin Shaped Card ♥

Hope you all are enjoying your Sunday! Just stopping in with a little shabby pumpkin shaped card made with some sweet papers and tag from the iralamija shop on Etsy. Made this cute little pumpkin card in minutes! I just die cut some ovals using the Large Oval Dies by Spellbinders and the Harvest Collage by iralamija. Such pretty fall papers included in this collage! 4 different images in all!

I then simply hot glued the ovals together to form a pumpkin shape. For the back of the card, I die cut 2 of the ovals using the same orange paper used on the ends in the front but for the middle of the pumpkin, I die cut ovals using white cardstock. This way when you open it the inside of the card is white, so it can be written in. I just hot glued the very top edges together to form a card base.

I then added some mini wood spools and twine to act as the stem of the pumpkin as well as some die cut leaves, twine bow, a pearl and a cute image from the Spooky Tags Collage set.  

 
Hope you stop by the iralamija shop to see all of the beautiful shabby chic and vintage collages that can be used over and over again! :)

                                              

Have a sweet day!
