Simon Says Clean and Simple!

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Stamp It Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher

This week the challenge is

Clean And Simple 

This week we are showcasing CAS-ual Fridays Products. You don't have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Here is my card for the challenge.

I have used Lovely Blessings stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays on my card. I love the bold font of the sentiments in this stamp set. To keep it simple and clean, I sponged distress inks Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salty Ocean on white card stock panel. I made some spatters with clean water for added texture. I then used Memory Box 's Snowdrift Breeze border die to die cut on the panel. 

I stamped the smaller sentiment on the blue card panel and the larger sentiment on the bottom of the card base using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and MISTI. I then trimmed the panel and adhered on the card base using foam adhesives. I also used the snowflakes from the die cut to embellish along with Clear Droplets from Pretty Pink Posh.

Clean and Simple to mass produce this design for this year Christmas cards :)  Hope you like it. As always I have listed all my supplies towards the end of the post. Now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

This is my take on the inspirational challenge.

I decided to make tag using the Christmas Carols Stamp set from CAS-usual Fridays Stamps. And I used a note card die to make my tags. Something  different and not the usual tag. There are two tags using one sentiment each set. These are the three tags below.

Here are the rest of the tags.

Love them all. Hope you do too.

Make sure you check out all the designers and Michelle's card  as well. Come along and play the challenge and win a stamp set.

Christmas Card Set #8

Sharing my 8th set of Christmas cards today.

These ones are one layer cards with lots of layered stamping.

 

 

 

I have used Snowflakes Greetings Stamp Set from CAS-ual Friday Stamps. 

And my card is inspired by Christina's card Let it Snow! I have used various colour combinations and also added rhinestones to a few of the snowflakes to make it festive.

I now have 50 cards made. 150 more to go. Just received all the new Christmas stamps from Uniko Studio. So I will be inking them to make more sets. Watch out this space:)

Have a great day!

Thinking of you!

Hey everybody,

Here is a super quick post sharing a card I made for no challenges:)
I love to simply create without any deadlines or for challenges:)
Anyway, here is my card.

I have used the Ikat Stamp Set from Avery Elle Stamps to make my card. I have used reinkers on baby wipes as my inkpad to stamp the rainbow coloured stamping. I have also stamped the sentiment on the image. Added the enamel dots to accent. I love the rainbow stamping:)

Thanks for stopping by!

Ta!

Cool Dude!

Happy Friday Everybody,

I totally missed all the challenges at Moxie Fab! How could that happen? Thank God I saw them this morning! So quickly sent children and hubby to school and work and playing along the Card Creations Week- Speech Bubble Challenge:)




Here is my card.

I have used masking technique with Grunge Me stamp set from Papertrey Ink with speech bubble from He Said She Said from Paper Smooches and sentiment from RAD stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps on my card. I masked and stamped the grunge images first. Then removed the mask and stamped the speech bubble outline. Finally the sentiment. It is a only layer card with a lot of negative space. I love how my card turned out although I had something totally different in my mind when I started out to make this card. Lol!

Thanks for stopping by! I need to do some research about my area politicians because I have to vote tomorrow for our state election. As much I dislike politics, voting is compulsory. So I better know what I am doing at least:)

Ta!

Hey everybody,

Welcome to CAS-ual Fridays Challenge. This is the last challenge for me as their Design Team member. I have through enjoyed all the challenges with CAS-ual Fridays challenge and stamp blogs. But it is time to say goodbye. I would like to thank the most sweetest boss, Michele for giving me the opportunity to work with her. Love the variety of themes she brings every Friday and her super cool CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.  I will miss CAS-ual Fridays Challenges. But I guess I can play along now:) A big virtual hug to you, Michele:)

Make a CAS project with silver in it.

Here is my take on the challenge.

I have used Breathe stamp set for my card.




Love love that brush strokes. I have made my own background using the brush strokes stamp set and different colored inks. I have also silver embossed the brush strokes as well.  The sentiment is also silver embossed. Hope you like it. I love love the background.
