Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Die Crazy

09/16/2015

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 STAMPtember® Stamp It challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too. I loved reading all of your comments and I hope you will visit me often!

This week the challenge is Die Crazy.  You must create a project using dies. Remember you can enter up to 5 times! 🙂

We are showcasing the Wplus9 products. As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store.

I just love this adorable Happy Mail set from Wplus9. I knew right away what I wanted to create with it.

Happy Mail, Wplus9

I created my own envelope with a stitched rectangle and a stitched square. Fun right!?! Here is a picture of how I lined the pieces up. Note: I didn’t run them through my die-cut machine this way, I cut them separately.

Once I created my envelope I have a ton of fun coloring in the little critters and fussy cutting them out. I used watercolor pencils for coloring. The background was created with Lawn Fawns Puffy Cloud Lawn Cuts

It’s tough to see in the picture but I added a little wink of stella glitter pen to the “happy” banner and on the butterfly as well.

Ok- so now it’s time for YOU to enter the challenge. Remember, Die Crazy! is the theme so have fun and create whatever inspires YOU as long as you use a die! Just by playing along and linking up your project to the SSS Wednesday Challenge post you can qualify to enter a $50 shopping voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store.

    Love, love, love the envelope Jenn! How do you come up with such great ideas?? I realize my calling was a far cry from creating my own thing. What can I say, I like to clean up baby poop and spit up and bags of water that break! but I feel you are so Blessed to have such creativity. You are very lucky my friend. Talent comes in many forms!
