This Calls for Confetti Thinking of You

Hi all and welcome to another week of the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week's challenge theme is  Thinking of You

We are featuring products from This Calls for Confetti. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would to see what you make. As always just for entering you will be eligible for the drawing of a $25 voucher to the Simon store!
I am taking a small break from holiday cards to create a bright cheerful card to let you know that I am thinking of you! For a little bit of sparkle I am using This Calls for Confetti Sparkle all the Way confetti.
I created this card using an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another panel of white cardstock to create a diy plaid background. I taped down to the panel to my work surface and used long pieces of post it tape to create the lines that I ink blended with distress ink. 
I just eyeballed each line I added and varied the thickness using a blender tool. It's so fun to customize a plaid background. I then die cut out the daisies, stems and leaves from white cardstock and colored them with distress inks except for the center of the daisies. I used copic markers for that part. I adhered onto the panel with foam squares. Pro tip: cut the leaves off the stems to stagger them for a natural look. I then die cut the Thinking of You die three times and adhered together with liquid glue for thickness. I added a few sequins for a little sparkle.
I hope you enjoyed the project I have made for this week's challenge and got some inspiration!

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the STAMPtember blog party! Happy 15th anniversary!! Check out this exclusive promotion for stopping by today!!👇👇 I have created a couple of projects to share using some of the amazing goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release. I created this card with an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of Yupo paper to create an autumnal background using alcohol inks. When it was dry I trimmed it down to fit the card base leaving a bit of a white border. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock and added to the card with liquid glue. I then die cut the new Fancy Just Because die from more white cardstock. The butterflies were cut from matte gold cardstock using the new Ooh La La Butterflies die and adhered with a glue dot in the middle so their wings could pop up.

Simon Says Stamp DieCember Blog Party

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the Simon Says Stamp DieCember blog party! Be sure to take advantage of the  exclusive promotion for this blog party👇👇  I'm one of those rare people that begins to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Using the new Ornate Star die I created ornaments for my little flocked Christmas tree. I feel like I could make a dozen of these easily! I die cut the Ornate Star die once from gold cardstock and once from silver cardstock. I then glued the die cut stars on to silver and gold glitter paper. I weighted it with a large acrylic block to help the stars adhered firmly to the glitter cardstock. When the adhesive was dry I used a craft knife to cut out the stars from the glitter cardstock. I then die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from red metallic cardstock and white cardstock and adhered together for thickness and glued them carefully to the stars as to not have a glob of glue mess up the shine of the metallic cardstock. I...
