Spellbinders Anything Goes

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

This week's challenge theme is Anything Goes

We are featuring products from Spellbinders. 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!
For this week's theme I am using the gorgeous Spellbinder's Coastal Escape View die set. I grew up just a mile from the beach and have so many fond memories of the ocean so I just love making cards that feature a nautical theme.
I began with an A2 size card base cut from smooth white cardstock. I then used a wonky stitched rectangle die to cut a white panel. Using distress ink I blended a warm yellow color all over the panel. I then cut the wave image from the die set and inked them using the same yellow color and adhered them all around the inked panel for a interesting background. I trimmed off the excess and adhered the panel to the cardbase.
I then die cut the fish, sea shells and other nautical images from the die set and used distress ink to color them. I wanted to create a shaker element using the circle window die. I created a little ocean scene and then die cut the circle window 6 times from white cardstock to create a well to enclose the shaker bits and adhered it over the ocean scene with liquid glue. I die cut the birthday sentiment from coordinating colored cardstock and added a bit of stickles for some sparkle.

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...
