Simon Says Stamps and Stampin Up Together!

So Im not normally a Gnome fan but lately I have seen some really cute ones out there. So I fell in love with a gnome card on Pinterest and had to order it. It is from Simon Says Stamps. I ordered their December kit of the month to make this card I found. Then when I finally received the kit it didn't have the papers that showed in the sample.
So I decided to use some Stampin Up papers and go for a completely different looks. I have used the papers from Stampin Ups Most Wonderful Time Product Medley. You will see some more cards with this Medley coming up. I just love the papers in this medley. They are so gorgeous. Also the little presents at the bottom of these cards are from the stamps and dies from the medley.

The die To Be Jolly comes from Stampin Ups Jolly Season die set. This is a great die set. It has two different word dies, a santa (that matches the stamp set) and a santa and sleigh that flies across the sky. It comes with a few other dies also.

If you would like to order the Most Wonderful Time Medley are any other Stampin Up products I would love for you to get them from my Stampin Up store. Please use host code EHKHVJP2 and click on the link here.

To order the Gnomes you will need to go to Simon Says Stamps.

Happy Stamping!

Happy Easter!

I made these cards for a couple of challenges. The first challenge is birthday at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge. I used a set from Simon Says/Mama Elephant called Summer Garden.

It has fun flowers and sentiments. I used a Happy Birthday from Endless Creations for the challenge and then the thinking of you from the set for the other two cards.

I am playing around with distress markers and watercoloring. I had watched a few tutorials on this and not having great success so looks like I will have to go thru and watch them again.

The brighter card, I colored on the watercolor paper directly with the markers and then used my watercolor brush to pull the colors out. The other two cards I did a combination of pulling ink off my acrylic block and putting some ink directly on the image. I stamped and embossed these with Wow! Silver Pearl Embossing Powder!

The second challenge is a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches .

Happy Easter to everyone and happy stamping!

Simon Says!

So as I mentioned yesterday I am making cards for Taylored Expressions Share Comfort and Share Joy program. They want thinking of you cards. So I have been working on all thinking of you cards.
So far I have 40 cards to send them. I think you have until May 9th to send them in so I will be making more before I do send them in.
This one I used Simon Says stamps that were in their February(I think) stamp of the month kit. I like the flowers in this set. The sentiment is from stampin up. So far I have been able to find a different thinking of you stamp for every card set I have made. You dont realize how many you have until you start looking for them.
Happy Stamping!
