I've used Technique Tuesday's Ranunculus stamp but as soon as I stamped the flower I knew there was two many layers to 3d so I settled in just cutting out each bloom. I also cut out the stems they were a bit more difficult and I used a craft knife.

I recently treated myself to some embossing folders and this one is called Weathered from Taylored Expression, I thought it would give a bit of interest to what would be a nearly white card. I blended some ink in the corner for where my I planned to stick my flower.

My card was looking Ok I used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle although you can't really seem the faux stitching but I know I can add a sliver of coloured card and it will be a perfect fit for the Avery Elle Sweet Scallops. I planned to used enamel dots but the placement was down to the fact that after the card was nearly finished it acquired a couple of dirty marks.

To finish I used the Simon Says Stamp Sending die and their Sketched Ranuncus has arrived in my craftroom and I used a couple of the sentiments to finish of my sentiment.

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

Yep again I apologise for the rubbish photo but I have to sit to take the photos and I haven't got the light quite right and if I use an artificial light I lose all the dimension on my cards.

I think there's plenty of sparkle on my card to start with I've used the Happy Butterfly die from Technique Tuesday. I placed some double side tape on piece of card and stuck the die cut butterfly do it  and cut out the shape of butterfly. Then scattered the Tim Holtz Distress Spun Sugar glitter over the butterfly, pressed down and shake the rest off.

In hindsight I should have double layered the butterfly and use wet glue in the space to add the glitter to, ordinary double sided tape isn't really strong enough.

I cut a frame using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched rectangles although you can't see the faux stitched but it did give me a nice size frame. I added double sided tape on the card before I ran it through the Big Shot. Again scattered the glitter.

I added the Simon Say Stamp Stacked Hearts, then the frame to my card and added the butterfly with sticky fixers under the wings and really strong thin red double sided glue for its body. To finish some pearls.

My Birthday sentiment came from Birthday Messages but embossed with gold embossing powder, I recommend a dust buddy to stop the powder adhere to places I don't want it to.

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

Another card that looked better inside my head. I saw this layout and thought it was a bit different but I had an issue with the last bit of stamping of the Avery Elle Wood grain stamp, smudge the last bit so it had to be cut down. There was no chance I was going to risk making another when it was almost perfect.
I cut the top shape to size and then used the Tim Holtz Inkpads to blend colours using a punch circle for a  mask for my Sun.
I then stamped the wheat stamp from Technique Tuesday Grateful twice each time to give a bit of shadow effect. Then I used held my breath while I stamped the sentiment but it turned out fine.
My problem I think is I should of had a mat under the top part of my card, that and a bit more time when I made it last week.

So now it's YOUR turn. We can't WAIT to see what you want to show off! Happy Crafting!

Not a specific occasion like birthday, anniversary etc ,,,  :-)
The team is also using Technique Tuesday products but thats not a requirement for the challenge just the DT chance to show what amazing products Simon Says Stamps have in their store.

Now onto my card a bit different to what I usually post for Simon Say Stamps Challenge but I'm using the Vino set, I had to make a grape vine and its a lot more striking on CAS. Not that I want to make it easy for myself. I cut out most of the leaves and the bunches of grapes.

I tried to stamp straight onto the card with the sentiment from Simon Says stamps Exclusive Flower Friend set but made a totally mess of it which is why its on a fish tail banner. Just added another leaf under the grapes to hide the corner of the banner.

Can you believe it I actually love how this turned out.
