Simon Says Stamp: Get In Shape! Challenge

Hi everyone,

How are you enjoying Autumn? It's by far my favourite season of the year. I love the colourful leaves, sweaters, and hot apple cider. So cozy. :)

I'm back today with another Simon Says Stamp Challenge!!!

Today's challenge is to make a shaped card and I decided to make a rainbow scene using my Silhouette for the clouds and circle dies for the rainbow. I know it's not really an Autumn-themed card but makes me think of my second favourite season, Spring. :)

This is what I used to make my card:

I hope you'll join us in this week's challenge! Up for grabs once again is a $50 gift voucher for the Simon Says Stamp store. For all the details and to see what the other designers have come up with go HERE.

Simon Says Stamp Autumn Leaves Challenge

Hi everyone!

Welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Challenge!!!

Today's challenge is one that 'warms' my heart: Autumn Leaves! I LOVE Fall. It's my favourite season of the year. It's time to get cozy, put on a sweater, and drink some tea or hot apple cider. Mmmm.

Here`s my card for this week's challenge:

I opened up my Mister Huey's and dabbed some on my craft sheet and from there painted the leaf. I was impressed with just how opaque the paint was on the kraft cardstock and also how well the colors blended. I'll definitely be doing this again!

Here's what I used to make this card:

Simon Says Stamp: Eerie Pinterest Board Challenge

Hi everyone,

I'm back with another Simon Says Stamp Challenge!!!

Today's challenge is an inspiration challenge based on this Eerie Pinterest Board our own Joy Taylor came up with:

 

I LOVE that house! :) This week the design team is using products from American Crafts. For my card, I took inspiration from the colors found in the candies. My choice of background paper was inspired by the vintage dress pattern paper in the bottom left corner.

Here`s my card:

I colored some of the American Craft/ Amy Tangerine fabric stickers with distress inks (the solid black which was cut in half and used in two areas and also the purple floral piece) to better go with my color combination.

This is what I used:

Hero Arts/Basic Grey Lucille Stamps

Hi everyone!



I'm back today with a final card for my Hero Arts blog week. I've really enjoyed showcasing some wonderful new Hero Arts products. I'd say 99% of the cards I make in general have Hero Arts products on them somewhere but it was fun to make a full week out of it. :)

So did you come here today expecting another Christmas card? ;) I thought today I'd share a card using a new non-Christmas related line. The card I made for today features two stamps from the new Lucille line that was done in conjunction with Basic Grey. The papers in this line are wonderful, earthy colors. The fun thing about stamps is that you can use whatever colors you like. :)

Don't forget about my little giveaway:

In celebration of all things Hero Arts and seeing that I've also just reached 100 followers with my 'new' blog I'm doing a little giveaway. :) On Monday, October 15th I'll post ONE winner who can choose TWO Hero Arts Stamps of their liking (either cling, clear, or 1 of each). I'll order them through Simon Says Stamp and have them sent out to the winner. :) Sound good? All you have to do is leave a comment on one of my Hero Arts posts this week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. I would also appreciate it if you followed my blog if you aren't already but I won't make you. ;) All comments left before midnight EST Sunday, October 14th are eligible.
 
Thanks so much for dropping by today! I really appreciate you visiting!
