Cheers,Sunshine!

Today we have a brand new Simon Says Stamp Challenge for you over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog! The challenge this week is SUMMER! We want to see your summer time creations. The design team is using Simon Says Stamp exclusives this week! You don't have to use them to join in, but we would love to see them if you have them!

For my summer time card I used the Adult Beverages stamp set, die set, and accompanying sentiments. I love this fun bunch of goodies! I stamped and embossed the drink glass on vellum and then used distress markers to color it and blend to create a yummy looking drink! The other pieces were stamped on white cardstock and colored with markers. I slit the glass so the straw could go through and slit the cherry to allow for the toothpick to go through that. Lots of fun stuff!

Now it's your turn! Create something with the summer theme and link it up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store!

Also, don't forget about the kids challenge currently running, too! Your kiddos can create a something fabulous and link it up for a chance at 3 prizes!

Hello, Beautiful!

Yup. You! Hi! Today I have a super fun card that I created using some goodies from the BRAND NEW This is the Life release from Simon Says Stamp! If you haven't checked it out yet, be sure to head over! This is one AMAZING release!

When I saw this Adult Beverages stamp set and the coordinating dies to go with it, I was instantly IN LOVE! There is also a SUPER cute sentiment set that goes with them and that is on it's way to me, however, I went with a a pretty one from the Summer Garden set for my card today.



I used the martini glass die to create a shaker martini! Read that carefully, a shaker. martini. Not a martini shaker. That's a different thing altogether. Although, the man in the suit does prefer shaken, not stirred. (Actually, he prefers the Vesper, which, by the way, is remarkably difficult to find on a menu and even harder to find a bar tender who knows how to make it right, but if you do, they are DELICIOUS! For reals. Good stuff.) Anyway... I filled my shaker with glitter and sequins. Those two things seem to compliment martinis well. HA! I used the straw die to create a shelf from wood grain cardstock and then I colored the cardstock with a black Wink of Stella to give it some shimmer and sparkle! YAY! Love that!



I used clear foam tape to adhere the shelf, as the narrow nature of it made white foam visible, so this is more subtle. For the olive, I stamped and die cut the olive and the toothpick and then slit the olive to slide the pick through it for 'proper' presentation. I mean, why do things the easy way? HA!

Seriously, though, this is an AWESOME release! You really should check it out! Also, if you order through my links you will be helping me out, too! YAY! You can find links to all of the products I used in my card below! Happy shopping!



Have a Happy!
