Simon Says … Layer it up/Use Ephemera featuring Tim Holtz

Image

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Stamp It Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Layer It Up / Use Ephemera

We are showcasing Tim Holtz 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.

I really got my creep on this week with this challenge. I used lots of different bits and pieces from the Tim Holtz Emporium! Some are from older versions so I have linked to the most current products available!

On a black A2 card I took a piece of Halloween patterned paper – Halloween Backdrops has some fantastic patterns. I blended some Frayed Burlap Distress Ink around the edge of the paper, ripped one of the corners and distressed the edges with a Distressing Tool.

For the focal point I created a rosette from black cardstock using the Sizzix Vault Rosettes Die and added some subtle shimmer using the Jack O’lantern Distress Crayon. I added one of the skulls from the Halloween Sticker Book and put black gems in it’s eyes – creeeeepy!

I added a few pieces of Halloween Ephemera, some die cut “greenery” using Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, some Mummy Cloth and a couple of floral Layers Elements.

Simon Says … Stamp It (STAMPTEMBER)!

Image

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.

This week the challenge is

(it’s STAMPtember!!!)

STAMPtember® is a very special month in the Simon Says Stamp calendar and this week we are showcasing our very own Simon Says STAMPtember® 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.The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $25 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! 

I’ve created a card using one of the new embossing folders, Dotted Spiral – it’s so versatile (I used it on a card yesterday if you want to scroll back!)! I’ve paired it today with some other fantastic STAMPtember® products – the Wild Birthday Clear Stamps and Scripty Birthday Background Stamp.

I used the partial die cutting technique using the A2 Rectangle Dies and the Stitched Circle dies to create a panel for my image. I stamped the Scripty Birthday on the bottom part and the toucan image on the top. I stamped him a second time and then fussy cut it (minus the candle) to decoupage over the base image for some dimension.

I added a few sequins and some twine and a bit of shimmer – just to be a bit extra!
