♥ Have Yourself a Very Merry Christmas ♥

Hello there! It's time for another brand new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's theme is....CHRISTMAS! A good excuse to get started on those Christmas cards! There are only 36 days left!! YIKES!!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by My Favorite Things! I chose the Grand Holiday Greetings Clear Stamp Set. Love this set!! There are 4 different sentiments in the set. I am using 2 of them today. :)

I am using some Hero Arts Acetate Folded Cards as well as some Tim Holtz Yuletide Paper (love this stash!) and Prima Victorian Christmas Flowers.

The sentiments were stamped in Jet Black StazOn Ink.

This card was made with another one of the stamps from the MFT Grand Holiday Greetings Set.

This one was also made with some Tim Holtz Yuletide Paper as well as the Simon Says Stamp Christmas Tree 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!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too. 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

♥ Silver and Gold Wreath Clear Tags ♥

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday! Today we had a soccer game, a Birthday Party, yard work and shopping to do but now it's time for this Momma to get some craftin' time in! :) Have you seen the new Create Joy Release by Simon Says Stamp? So many amazing new stamp and die sets! I know my Wish List is full! I wanted to show you 2 tags I made using the new Ornament Wreath Die. What a fun die to use! I die cut the wreaths using the Deco Sheets Tim Holtz. Love the silver and gold sparkle on these! This die is perfect to use on a Christmas card, tag or even to make some cute ornaments for the tree!

To make my tag, I just simply cut a piece of strong acetate into a tag shape. I then inked the edges with the Simon Says White Ink Pad and then while still wet, I sprinkled on some Doodlebug Sugar Coating White Glitter.

I finished off the tags with some May Arts Natural Twine, Simon Says Moonshine Sequins and Big Scripty Greetings Holiday Clear Stamp Set, some pearls and white satin ribbon.  

You can check out the new Create Joy Release HERE!

I hope you have a great rest of your weekend!!
