Time for a NEW Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Hey everyone! Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Anything Goes challenge last week and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is Clean and Simple Christmas. Keep your holiday cards simple. Remember you can enter up to 5 times! 🙂

We are showcasing the Memory Box products. As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store.

This week I have created 2 cards to share with you! For the first one I used Memory Box Beard Set Craft Dies along with some Lawn Fawn products:

  • Finley’s ABC’s
  • Scallop Rectangle Stackable Lawn Cuts
  • Stitched Rectangle Lawn Cuts
  • Strawberry Twist Pattern Paper
  • Ice Blue Bokeh Pattern Paper

“Ho! Ho!” was cut from Lawn Fawn’s Finley ABC’s. I added sparkle to the scalloped rectangle and the “Ho! Ho!” with glossy accents and Distress Stickles Dry Glitter in Rock Candy.

I added white liquid applique on the beard.

For the second card I wanted to share with you today I used Memory Box’s Melt My Heart Clear Stamp set. I watercolored with Distress Inks ( Picked Raspberry, Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio, Wild Honey, and Hickory Smoke) and instead of a waterbrush I used a clear Wink of Stella Pen. Can you see the shimmer?

The pattern paper is from DoodleBugs new 6×6 Sugar Plum Paper Pad. Also on this card is Lawn Fawn’s Stitched Square Lawn Cuts and I used Versafine Smokey Grey to stamp the sentiment. I’m a sucker for all things snowman and I just love this card 🙂

    Fabulous cards – I love that snowman, but the woolly beard is a real laugh! ! Now that I’m starting Christmas cards (never thought I’d say that in October!) this will give me more of an incentive 🙂
