I saw the Snow White Challenge so I took it literally meaning a white card with a touch of red for Snow White's lips are red as the rose. It also meant I could use Simon Says Stamp Rejoice die.

You could be asking where's the Reverse Confetti product well its the amazing Pierced Round Top die. To start with I planned to used a small one and add a white bouquet, but I was looking at it and wondered if I could use the large one to make the actual card.

It was so easy to do, I just lined up the fold at the edge and run it through the big shot, you just have to make sure you cutting the right side. I did manage to make one opening the wrong way. I was so please how it looked and another 6 was made for my Christmas cards. Oh I using some Linen Card I think it makes my cards look more expensive!

I was pleased that the Simon Says Stamp Pine Needle Trio arrived in my craft room, they made a base for my Simon Says Stamp Poinsettia Parade still my favourite poinsettia die. I found some small red pearls in my stash but I've recently brought Nuvo Red Berry drop the plan is not to buy as many gems in the future.



Here's a clue what I used for the same card but using the Simon Says Stamp Believe Stamp and Die set.

I realised as I was cutting very carefully round the Reverse Confetti Toucan of Friendship that I should have brought the dies too.

I decided to used the Simon Says Stamp Believe stamps and die so I could turn my card into an Anniversary one and could tick the box that I've done Hubby's card for March.

The papers are Doodlebug Cream and Sugar but I only really used one sheet. The frame I made using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles.

I decided to use to use the Shine From Within stamps from Reverse Confetti and place it in a frame.

To make my frame I used the Simon Says Stamp Roses For You stamps first, I actually used the floral heart and coloured in the roses and leaves. Then I cut out the frame using Simon Says Stamp Rectangle Stitched Frames.

I wanted to use the Simon Says Stamp Surely Stitched Heart since I hadn't used it yet. Once I stuck it over my frame to the edge of the cards, I then cut out the heart in the pink that edges my card but I didn't like it. So I stamped again using the floral heart, coloured them in and cut out using the die again.

I embossed on the back of the centre of the heart to give a bit of dimension. It was at this point I thought the background looked a bit plain and added the little flowers, it was at this point I thought it was time to step away from the card before I added more than it needed.

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting
