I have combined Newton's Nook A Cozy Day stamp set with Simon Says Stamp's To Thine Own Shelf stamp set to create s scene on my card.

I stamped the image from Newton's Nook stamp set using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink  and copic coloured the image. Then I hand cut the image out.

On the card front, I stamped the shelves and filled them with books, clock and boxes. I stamped them using Simon Says Stamp Hot Lips, Doll Pink, Jelly Bean, Sunshine, Fern and Stone dye inks. I used Cup O Joe Hero Arts Ink for the some of the books and pots. I used MISTI tool to stamp my images.

I adhered the hand cut copic colored image on the bottom centre of the card front using foam adhesive. Then grounded the sofa using Copic markers in Cool Grey. The sentiment is from the Newton's Nook stamp set stamped using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black ink.

Winnie & Walter Cutaway release day #3

Hey everyone, 

Today is day #3 of Winnie & Walter Cutaway release! I am show casing coordinating Cutaway for In Bloom: Lola's Banquet stamp set. Here is the stamp set and the Cutaway.

 

I adore this stamp set and was thrilled to see the coordinating cutaway released for this set. The best this is every image on the stamp set has coordinating cutaway for it including the layering images. How cool is that? I LOVE it. I have a card showcasing the new cutaway.

I pretty much stamped all the images from the stamp set on white cardstock panels using five different colours. Two shades of green, pink, yellow and blue. MISTI is perfect to do this. I adhered all the stamps on MISTI door and stamped all the images twice to get even coverage. I have used Altenew inks here. Then I used the coordinating cutaways and  die cut all the images out. Now I have heap of  die cut to use.

To assemble the card, I die cut the In a Word: Friend cutaway using gold glitter cardstock and adhered in the middle of the card front. I then clustered glued the die cuts in various colour combinations on the top left and bottom right of the sentiment die cut. I have so many die cuts left that I can make atleast three more cards out of them. Saves so much preparation time for the next card. Then I stamped the smaller sentiment from Bubble Talk stamp set on to a strip of white cardstock, trimmed the edges and adhered. Finally embellished with sparkly clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.



Hope you like my card. I love floral clusters and this one is special. All the new Cutaways are available for purchase at Winnie & Walter store.

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Photo Inspiration!

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

Thank you for joining us for the Anything Goes 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

Photo Inspiration

The lovely Jenn Shurkus made this lovely mood board for us to follow, you can use the colors, pictures, whatever you like to create your project. If it's not obvious please let us know what element you used in your write up.

We are showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some 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

My take on the challenge is inspired by both the colours and ocean picture  from the photo inspiration. 

I have used Pool Play stamp set, Summer Fun dies, Sail Away stamp set and coordinating dies and Border Waves dies from Simon Says Stamp Summer collection.  I sponged Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon on either end of Strathmore watercolor paper. I then spattered clean water and blotting them off with paper towel. This added texture and  bubble like effect on the paper. I used the Waves border die and die cut the waves on end of the sponged watercolor paper, trimmed the paper at the centre so I can layer them. I also used the third Wave border die to die cut a grey vellum paper for the third layer. 

For the focal point, I stamped the star fishes from Sail Away Stamp set, the boy and girl images from Pool Play stamp set using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black ink, coloured with copic markers. I then die cut them using coordinating dies.

On the layered waves card front, I stamped the summer phrase from Pool Play stamp set on the bottom of the card using Blueprint Sketch distress ink. And also the bubbles all over the waves using black intense ink. I adhered the copic coloured die cuts on top of the waves with sentiment stamped on strips of white cardstock. I felt the clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh was perfect addition on this card.

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting
