One of the many GREAT things about my job is having the opportunity to use Simon Says Stamp's fantastic products!! Last Friday at Simon Says Stamp we had our year end meeting in which we all presented our own projects made with products you can find in our store! My project included Core'Dinations paper, Penny Black stamps, Tim Holtz Distress Stickles, and Prima flowers.We all found out just how FUN the Core'Dinations paper is to work with! It is just like card stock, only it has a colored interior color that coordinates (hence the fun name!!) with the outer color. You can expose it by sanding, tearing, and embossing the paper. We used Jenni Bowlin's Collection and had so much fun experimenting with it! There are MANY paper colors and design selections in each Core'Dinations collection Simon Says Stamp offers. Check out other Jenni Bowlin products HERE!
The primary stamp I used on my card was Penny Black's Nature's Dance. Nature's Dance is a charming stamp that can be used at all times of year. Just do what we did and decorate the tree buds with various Stickles colors to change the theme! We used Tim Holt's Distress Stickles in Antique Linen, Shabby Shutters, and Fired Brick to incorporate a sparkly, Christmas theme! I also chose to use an ornament stamp from Penny Black's clear Christmas Treasures set. Inks used were Stazon's Jet Black and Dew Drops' Brilliance in Galaxy Gold.
Prima's Wild Wood Mushroom embellishments are what I chose to give the card some definition. When glued on with Ranger's Glossy Accents (which is officially my FAVORITE GLUE EVER), it will stick to paper in a matter of seconds - it stays put and dries clear!
Check out the other GLUES and EMBELLISHMENTS we have in our store!!We have so much fun at Simon Says Stamp and want you all to share in the joy of using such fantastic products! With the variety we carry in store, you're guaranteed not to get bored or be at a loss for ideas. VISIT US to see our variety!!!
Some of our Simon team members include: Terra, Amber, Stephanie, Katie, Heidi & there's Heidi's hubby Jason. We had our annual meeting followed by dinner and a comedy show in Columbus.
We'd like to hear your feedback! Comment on this post and win a gently used Penny Black Nature's Dance stamp! We would love it if you also became a blog follower...The winner will be selected at random and announced on Friday.
Until Friday... :-)
