I have a lot of wicked fun things to share in this post, so be sure to read until the end!
This is my last post as part of the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Team. If you are visiting my blog for the first time or have not yet subscribed – be sure to do so! I share lots of handmade projects every week delivering them straight to your inbox! I also occasionally share information about crafty classes and new product releases I love. Subscribe here.
We are featuring Gina K Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used! As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store! YAY!
I miss your face, Gina K/ MFT
I had fun making this quick card. I painted wide bands of color with Distress Oxide Colors. I stamped and watercolored the two kitties (one is Mister Harley, and the other is Gus Gus). I stamped the “I miss your face” sentiment. Finishing off the card I added some Lawn Fawn chunky glitter to the ground of the kitties, and a few sequins with the Lawn Fawn Glue Tube.
Congratulations to all the new members to the Wednesday Challenge team-

Ann Barnes says
May 7, 2018 at 9:17 pmOk Jenn, so so many amazing cards to choose from, you are definitely one creative chick! Although I really love the nostalgia of your “uber cool” initial post, I have to say one of my most faves was the “dont bug out” Tim Holtz card you made. From the amazing linen texture background to the layered bugs and torn watercolor cardstock, it has always stood out in my mind as a showstopper. You are very talented, and inspiring. xx
Jen Mensah says

May 7, 2018 at 2:32 pmYou have made such amazing cards each week that it’s hard to narrow it down to 1 so I have to say that the masculine card “For a Guy with Tim Holts” card is super cool! Love the colors! But I also love the seahorse tag you show here is really cool with nice dimension!
Susan Romito says
May 7, 2018 at 2:25 pmI especially Love your Party Like You Mean It card!! All those colors are so pretty!!
Tamika Jefferson says
May 7, 2018 at 2:25 pmI would have to say floral frenzy because I am so intimidated using inks but your no line watercoloring inspired me to give it a try on my list of 50 million other things to try. Lol. I want to do it all!
Marisol says
May 7, 2018 at 2:14 pmBig fan of ALL your cards. I love that party one with SSS Stamp Set and watercolor squares. I am still attempting to make a card similar to that. If ever in a Chicago, would love to take a class.
Jo Nevill says
May 4, 2018 at 7:45 amLove your card Jenn, your kitties are sooo cute !
I am so sorry you are leaving us but looking forward to seeing your exciting future in the craft world ! It has been a pleasure working with you.

MaryAnn Samuelson says
May 3, 2018 at 8:16 pmUGH I always dislike when people say choose your favorite because it is so hard when you have scraplifted 30+ cards from a person’s blog because they inspire you so much, or have you quickly grabbing the credit card to make that purchase. But since you asked I looked in my desktop folder titled Shurkus and gave it a peek. So after narrowing down my favorites to 5 I finally settled on one that my mom loved when I showed it to her. Watercolored Rose card using Altenew stamps. I will be sad to see you go from the DT but will still look forward to all your projects thru social media.
F. Andre says
May 3, 2018 at 4:36 pmI haven’t been following the SSS challenges for very long, so it was great to look back at your work over the last four years. I’d have to pick one of your most recent cards, Hello Miss Thang. I fell in love with the colors the moment I saw it. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Charlotte E (Lady Joyful) says
May 3, 2018 at 2:12 pmThis card is so cute! Really hard to pick a favourite from your cards. The Oh Ship one (from last August) is really fun, so I’ll pick that one 😀 Thanks for the chance.
Laurie says
May 3, 2018 at 12:41 pmI have a bunch of your cards that I like. I really like the one you showcased-love the cats! The others are “The Pina to my Coloda’-to super cute, “Love you now and forever”-super sweet, and the “All is calm, All is bright”-love the colors and the snowflakes! All of them are so pretty!
Melissa Miller says
May 3, 2018 at 12:01 pmI’ve loved seeing your cards in the challenge over the years. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I think I’m going to go with the Salt Life/Penny Black card. Knowing your love of the beach, that card just kind of personifies all things Jenn to me. 🙂
Scarlett Theron Rush says
May 3, 2018 at 10:04 amI like the THANKS, MEMORY BOX one

May 2, 2018 at 11:52 pmTough to choose 1…I like your more recent watercolor grid in your “Party like you mean it”…but I do have a soft spot for the ocean, and like the Penny Black “Salt Life”.
Karthikha Uday says
May 2, 2018 at 8:55 pmIt was great seeing all your inspirations!! They are amazing! It is tough to choose one, but I go with the party card, with colorful tile effects! That one just caught my eye the moment I saw it on the SSS blog!! Love it a lot! Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
Megan N says

May 2, 2018 at 6:14 pmHi Jenn! Loving the hello card at the bottom – looks like a watercolor or alcohol ink background! Congrats on 4 years designing for SSS. You’ve been an inspiration to so many. Thank you for sharing your talent and yourself!

May 2, 2018 at 12:02 pmHi Jenn! I love all of your cards. You’re a huge inspiration to me. I was thrilled to have made the Simon Says Stamp Team — but so bummed you’re stepping down. 🙁
These little kitties are adorable and I LOVE that background!
♥
Ankita Gupta says
May 2, 2018 at 11:04 amHI Jenn! Such an adorable card. I love the background that you created for the adorable kittens! and the idea of using chunky glitter for the kittens to sit on is so cute. Its like their own glittery rug! 🙂 Thank you so much for your warm welcome to the team. I have been an avid follower of you for a while now and I truly admire all of your creations! Each is equally unique and fabulous. 🙂

May 2, 2018 at 8:58 amGosh it’s hard to pick a favorite… but if I have to it would be #12, the ocean scene. I think you used alcohol inks. It’s just gorgeous.
