It's Ombré Time!

Hello, all, and welcome to another installment of the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, brought to you by Simon Says Stamp, your one stop shop for all of your paper crafting needs! *And the crowd goes wild!*

Yup. It's a game show opener kind of day. Why? Because that's just the kind of mood I'm in. And I'm in charge around here. So, that's what you get.

Whatever. You know you love it.

The challenge this week is to use the ombré technique on your projects! The design team is featuring Hero Arts products this week. You don't have to use them to play along, but if you've got some on hand, we'd love to see what you do with them!

Ombre thanks by Jennifer Ingle #SimonSaysStamp #HeroArts #RangerInk #JustJingle

I used this AWESOME dot background stamp to create my card for today. I seriously love this stamp! I stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with white embossing powder on white cardstock. I then used distress inks to create the ombé background. I kind of love it. The sentiment is the Simon Says Stamp Painted Thanks die, cut several times, layered, and then I used Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, and some super fine glitter to make it sparkle. It sparkles. Lots.

Now it's YOUR turn! Created something awesome based on the Ombré inspiration and link it up over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store!

That's all for today, folks! Thanks so much for joining us and be sure to come back next week for another fabulous installment of... the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! *Closing Music Plays*

Have a Happy. *wink*

Heh, heh... See What I Did There?

So, here's the thing. I don't usually do sketch challenges. For some reason I tend to struggle a bit with using a sketch for my inspiration. That being said, every now and then I see one that just catches me and I simply MUST give it a shot! This MFT Sketch Challenge sketch, was so very much one of those.

Isn't it fabulous? I had a few ideas, but decided to pull out a few Simon Says Stamp inks and an MFT stamp set I've had for awhile and haven't used yet for my design. I wanted to use a unique color combination, as I've found myself reaching for the same few colors a lot recently and wanted to shake things up a bit. This combo is different, but I kind of love how it turned out!

Just a Note by Jennifer Ingle #SimonSaysStamp #MFTStamps #Cards

I stamped the equalizer image repeatedly to create the 'stripes' represented by the sketch. I then die cut the super cute headphones and added those along with the sentiment to complete my card. I super love punny sentiments. Heh, heh...see what I did there? (Okay, so I didn't do it, so much, as MFT kindly did that for me by offering awesome punny sentiments in their sets, but... let's just go with it, K? K. Glad we had this talk.)

The colors are teal, pale blush pink, and thistle. I used black and grey on the headphones to keep them neutral, but also to allow them to pop off the patterned background. I had a ton of fun creating this card! I was quite happy for the sketch challenge and the inspiration it provided!

Have a Happy!

Hello There!

So, here's the deal. Hello is my One Little Word for the year. You may recall THIS Hello card that I posted just the other day. My word for the year inspired that card AND that giveaway (which ends today, by the way, so be sure to enter if you haven't already!). I used a super awesome Neat & Tangled stamp for that card. And THEN... the latest Little Tangles challenge came out yesterday with what theme? Oh. Yes. Hello.

Wellllllllll.... I simply HAD to create something for it. I mean, FOR REALS. It's my WORD, yo. But, since I had just used Neat and Tangled stamps for that other one I was a bit torn. I decided to use the same stamp again. Because I like it. Nope. Because I LOVE it.

Hello There by Jennifer Ingle #JustJingle #Cards #NeatAndTangled

I did. I used the Neat & Tangled Origami Map stamp and the coordinating die for the background of my card. I then used the super cute On the Corner stamp set. I used Distress inks to ink the background, splashed some water drops on there for texture, and used Distress Markers to color my image. I don't use those for coloring often, but they seemed to be what I was looking for this time around. I actually hand lettered the sentiment to get exactly what I wanted and I was surprised by how much I liked the results!

So, there it is! Something a little different with a potentially unlikely stamp combination, but I like it! It's fun!

Have a Happy, folks!

Something NEW!

Happy New Year! Our first Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge of the year is SOMETHING NEW! Yup! You can use something new as your theme or use brand new product on your project. The Design Team is featuring WPlus9 products this week. I LOVE WPlus9 so much! They have so many fun stamp set and dies! For my card, I decided to use NEW YOU as my inspiration! Many of our friends have likely made resolutions to better themselves in some way and it is always fun to encourage one another with handmade cards!

You Can Do It by Jennifer Ingle #SimonSaysStamp #Wplus9 #JustJingle #DearLizzy

I used two of my favorite WPlus9 sets for this one, Unforgettable and Encouraging Words . With a little masking, I was able to combine and image and a sentiment that wouldn't necessarily be made to go together. I thought the little elephant looked a bit like he was doing push-ups, so I added some leg warmers and a headband to the image to make him a little work-out elephant! CUTENESS!!!

I used some super cute wood grain patterned paper from the Dear Lizzy Documentary 6x6 paper pad. It sort of reminded me of a gym floor and went with my theme, so I ran with it! I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers.

Now it's YOUR turn! Create something awesome inspired by the SOMETHING NEW theme and link it up over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! WHAT?! Yup! Happy New Year to YOU! For reals, though.

You can find the supplies I used linked throughout my post. Thanks for reading!

Have a Happy!

Hey There!

Hello, friends! Today is day TWO of the Design Team reveals for the Girlfriend Collection coming from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps this week! I have another super fun card to share with you. For today's card, I used the super fun 'Hey You' sentiment along with some seriously awesome dies!

I die cut the bottom of the smallest tag three times to create the little gold cardstock border. This tag die is going to be used a lot! I can tell! I then used the tiny circle and the cool starburst, both of which were intended to be cool flower center stuff, independently for a fun, graphic look. I am in LOVE with that starburst shape! I layered my washi tape (for those who follow me on Facebook, this is the ver same tape that died due to puppy curiosity later that day... *sadness*) over some foam tape to give it a little extra dimension. I then stamped the sentiment in apricot.

Be sure to head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has created! This is such a fun release!

Have a Happy!

Love Ya!

It is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release time and this is another great one! This week the Girlfriend Collection is going live on Wednesday! I am particularly excited about the background stamp that I am showcasing today! You guys... you need it. For reals, though.

Love Ya by Jennifer Ingle #JustJingle #cards #love #CASualFridaysStamps

I stamped the background image in red ink along the bottom of my panel. I love that this stamp can so easily be used for all or part of your card! I then die cut the 'love ya' sentiment and adhered it to my card. SO easy, but SO cute! For reals. I love this background stamp so much! LOVE IT, I TELL YA!

The Design Team members have really done some great things with these new stamps and dies! Head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog to see more! For reals, though... go!

Have a Happy!
