Stamps Happen

Its Wednesday, its 2pm, its time for a new Simon Says Stamps Challenge card and this week challenge is for you to use a sketch from our teamie Dawny.

Also this week the Design Team is using Stamp Happens products and I thought it about time I used this huge stamp Falling softly Fairy I brought from Simon absolutely ages ago. I think it was the size that scared but she was easy to colour and she stamped beautifully.

The papers are Echo Park whose papers I love this pack is called Everyday Eclectic and I used the Romantic Rectangles from Spellbinders. The flowers are Cherry Blossom from Memory Box the Meadow Leaf die are from them too as is the Chloe Stem which I've punch circles in pink and sprinkled with glitter and added some pearls to finish.

Don't forget there is a fabulous prize to be won and you just have to make sure you mention the Simon Says Stamps challenge and link to the challenge blog on your card post and of course link your card with the blue frog to win.

Stamps Happen

Since its Wednesday it must be Simon Says Stamps Challenge and this week its a nice and easy one of Anything Goes. The Design Team are showcasing the fabulous Stamp Happen stamps that Simon Says Stamps stock.

I used the Cuttlebug Divine Swirls for my cards main background even though the folder doesn't match up perfectly I knew where the join would be so hid it with the ek Sucess Scroll and Dot (I used it yesterday for the waves) punched border that I made. It's really easy to make the border, I cut 1 1/2inches strip the important part it to remember the started place. Punch one side and then turn the strip over and then begining at the same place you started with punch. 1 1/2 inches should leave enough for a bit of ribbon and in the case of this card I also drew round the border onto red card so I could get the red showing through the punch out bits.
The flowers are Prima and I really must stop buying from Simon Says Stamps extensive collection of Prima goodies cos I spend far too much time stroking them.  Of course that left the little darling from Stamps Happen isn't she adorable.

 We like to welcome Becca to the Simon Says Stamps team and Nadine is our wonderful Guest Designer and don't forget the wonderful prize but you have to be in it to win.
