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).

Simon Says Stamp August 2015 Card Kit - Card Video Tutorial

- Happy Day To All!! -

I recently received my August 2015 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit but this time, instead of only filming the kit contents, I decided to do a video of me making a card from the kit as well. However, I did not view the kit before I filmed so the video is a bit lengthy as I shape up my vision of the card while doing it, which was a fun process and I am proud to say that I edited the whole video without my hubby's help this time - yayyy me!

This is a pic of the card kit contents:

"You Are Stronger Than You Think" Banner Shaker Card

Happy Friday Everyone!

I want to share this pretty banner card that I created with fun stamps, dies and sequins from Craftin Desert Divas:

I used the following CDD goodies:

Banner Dies

Be Inspired Stamp Set

Mermaid Lagoon Sequins

This card was so fun to create: I used the two banner dies to cut out the shaker window and then water colored it blue; then I heat embossed the sentiment on vellum and after adhered that to the backside of the shaker window. I used a blue foam sheet with the same banner dies so that those gorgeous Mermaid Lagoon Sequins had the height to shake around. I then accented the card with sparkly flowers & sequins, then tied a pretty ribbon around the card to enhance the blue.

Take a closer look at the detail on the stitched banner and those lovely sequins:

I love making shaker cards, everyone loves receiving them because they're so fun and unique - make one today!
