This week the challenge is: USE DIES/DIECEMBER

It's that time of the year - December at Simon Says stamp! Time to pull out your dies and use them this month with us.

 JUST A NOTE

Gathering all the parts...stamped images, die cuts, card... 

I colored my snowman image with colored pencils. 

Then, I added shimmer paint to the snow and snowman's cap. 

Details...

 

A few more details with the baker's twine and plaque, and I am happy with this.

HAPPY DIECEMBER!

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  THANK YOU  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

It's been wonderful having Pauline with us this month sharing her amazing creativity. 

This week the challenge is: MATCHED SET

I thought I had pulled out a plain sheet of watercolor paper to make my tag dies with, but when I turned them over, I discovered I had used a sheet I'd added watercolor to. Happy accident! I decided I liked the look and just went with it. I pulled out ephemera I had made earlier with the Tim Holtz Stamptember kit to embellish my tags.

 

Loving the watercolor look you get with Distress Watercolor Crayons and some glitter.

Each one is unique...

I layered a plant leave and flower on to of the tag after I stamped a word on each one.

Gift tags are ready!

Crafting made easy when you create multiple pieces at once so you can just pull from your stash to create. 

After all, Tis the BUSY season!

This week the challenge is: THANK YOU

I thought it would be fun to pull out the Tim Holtz Bird Crazy stamps to make my cards with this week. 

I wanted a funky background, and this stencil was perfect. I tried out the new Whale ink - what a great color! 

 Stamped my birds and thank you...

 

Next up, watercolor!

 

Blending colors for my birdies...

 Shall we call this the bluebird of happiness?

watercolor blending... 

Maybe this one is the sunshine bird... 

 

I used contrasting colors for the mat to tie these together as a pair.

Fun and Funky bird thank you cards!
