Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Christmas/Happy Holiday

Thank you so much to everyone who joined in with our "Use a Rubber or Clear Stamp" Challenge last week.  We hope you had fun !  

It's Wednesday and 

Yes, we have a new challenge over at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge !

The theme this week is 

Christmas/Happy Holiday

Yes, its that time again, Christmas is just around the corner !

Did you know that there are only 69 days til Christmas ?!!  I just knew you wanted to be reminded of that fact !!!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

Ooooh I had fun making my card this week I can tell you !  I had glittery bits and die cut bits everywhere !

I used the new gorgeous papers from Lawn Fawn "Peace Joy Love" for the background and also just had to try some embossing paste too with the new Simon Says Stamp "Falling Snow" die just to see what all the fuss is about !  Well, I can tell you that its amazing stuff and I'm really keen to use it again.  It is so smooth and easy to apply and doesn't take long at all to dry.

After I applied the embossing paste, I wanted my snowflakes to sparkle and so sprinkled some iridescent embossing powder over the top and then heat embossed it.  I would have used glitter but I didn't have any !

For the snowdrifts I used the Simon Says Stamp "A2 Card Curved Edge" die.  Who would think that such a simple die could do so much ?  I just cut some white card to the width I wanted and then moved the die to various positions to get that "snowdrift" look.  When the snowdrifts were cut, I arranged everything I needed for the front of my card, held all the pieces down with some magic tape and then put the stencil over the top and applied the embossing paste.  I lifted off the stencil and then let all the pieces dry before arranging them on the card base and raising the snowdrifts with foam tabs.

I hope that makes sense ?  I should have taken a "work in progress" photo !

These cute snowmen are by Lawn Fawn "Making Frosty Friends".  I coloured them with Copics.  I invested in the dies that match this set and I'm so glad I did, they are so easy to use and make everything a lot simpler.  I just adore those little birds (that I made into Robins !).

Well, I hope you are still with me ?!!

I hope you have as much fun as I did and we look forward to seeing what you make !
