My Cards for the "Fallin For Fall" SSS Flickr Challenge #30

Welcome To My Blog!

With October almost over, Fall is well under way with all its beauty...the colors, the way the sunlight shines only this time of the year, the crisp smell...it has been my favorite season since childhood. So you can imagine how happy I was to see that the most recent Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge is Fallin For Fall.

I so enjoy taking part in the challenges as the themes are so inspiring, there are prizes (I recently won - yayy!) and it gives us card makers a wonderful chance to connect with each other and get feedback on our work...all plus-es in my eyes!

These are the cards that I made:

The YouTube video for this card
can be viewed here or on my channel:

I used the same technique as I used in this video to make a card for my sister, Laurie who is more than a sister: she's a friend, the Godmother to my boys, she thinks of us and helps me in so many ways...I love her and want to tell her that I am thankful for all the amazing ways she shows us that she cares. This is the card I made for her:

For all three cards, I used the Simon Says stamp set, Leaves and Scribbles, a gorgeous Fall themed set (which also has coordinating dies):

Thank you for stopping by!

I hope that you are enjoying this beautiful season!

Card Creations for the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge #25

Hello Everyone!

Today I have 4 cards to share with you that I created for the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge #25, the theme for this challenge is "White on White With a Touch of Color".

This theme really inspired me and maybe my touch of color was more color than they intended but I thoroughly enjoyed myself - in fact I might make one or two more!

I haven't joined the last couple of challenges and I really missed it - it's truly fun and I love to see everyone's spin on the theme. Of course, it's good to get feedback too!

These are my cards so far:

Friendship Card

I used the following SSS products: Stitched Rectangle Dies and Stitched Circle Dies, the Circle Sayings Stamp Set and the Friends Die, also used the SSS Dye Ink Pads in Doll Pink & Coral. I used vellum in the shaker windows to tone down the color.

-------------------

Thinking of You Water Color Card

I used the following SSS products for this card: Stitched Rectangle Dies, Hand Lettered Winter Wishes Stamp Set and the Diagonal Stripes Background Rubber Stamp. I embellished with Pretty Pink Posh sequins (Sparkling Clear, 6 mm & 4 mm).

 ----------------

Feather Friendship Card

These are the SSS products I used for this card: Sentiments Of You Die & Stamp Set, Pointed Feather Dies and Stitched Rectangle Dies (for the stitched lines).

----------------

Thanks Sunshine Card

On this bright card, I used: the SSS Circle Dots Stencil (with Ranger Texture Paste) and the SSS Stitched Circle Dies. I also used the Sunshine Die and the SSS Flip Flop Season Stamp Set ("Thanks" sentiment)
I embellished with Pretty Pink Posh sequins (Lemon Drop & Tangerine).
