Thankful Paint card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Play with Paint".

It's been a while since I used my Opal Magic Paints, but two of them were also used up, so glad they were back in stock at Simon Says Stamp just in time for this challenge. I first applied Texture Paste with the Tiles stencil and applied random Washi Tape. Then it was time to play with the Opal Magic Paints, I used 4 of them, Blue-Gold, Rose-Gold, Yellow-Pink and Green-Gold.

Jungle Fever card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Tiny Things".

For this challenge I had to think for a little while what I wanted to make, but then I saw the Entomology stamp set and I realized that a lot of these insects are very tiny. Perfect, just what I was looking for! First I used the Ornate Lace stencil with Texture Paste. After it was dry I applied a layer of Clear Gesso.

You've Got Style Girl card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Feminine/Girly".

I've gone for the obvious color choice for this card, yep you know it, for pink and purple. But before I started with color, I first added some texture. First with the Polka Dot Border dies. And behind the polka dot holes I used Minc Foil. Then I applied texture by using Expanding Mousse with the Simon Says Stamp Extra Large Dots stencil. What gives that great bubbly effect.

Glittering in the Sun card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Whatever the Weather". But that's not all, we're also showcasing the amazing Mr. Tim Holtz products!

Last week it was already wonderful spring weather, and I enjoyed it very much, and so I wanted to make this spring-like card. I started with the Tim Holtz Mixed Media die and cut out the honeycomb. For even more texture I chose the Tim Holtz Rays stencil together with Crackle Texture Paste. After it was dry I applied a layer of Clear Gesso.

Vintage Lady card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Vintage/Past Times".

I wanted to use the technique I used last time once again, but instead of cutting it twice with the Mixed Media set, I wanted to emboss it. And luckily I had the Latticework stencil that matches the die. When the Texture Paste was dry, I random stamped with the Read to Me stamp. Then I applied a layer of Clear Gesso on the whole card.

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Things with Wheels".
