Congratulations!! Please email Stephanie at steph@simonsaysstamp.com to claim your Lace Ribbon prize!
We truly do have a fantastic Design Team!! This week for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge, they came up with the theme of Pearls and Lace and they have created some divine cards! For inspiration, see below! We'd love it if you joined in the fun this week for a chance to win a $25 gift voucher to our store.
Debby used D'vine Swirls by Cuttlebug for the white background at the top (so pretty!!). I also see that she used Ballerina Tilda by Magnolia (Tilda's hair looks fantastic by the way!).
Chris used the Doily Lace Trim punch by Martha Stewart for the bottom edge. Like the black flower? We just got in something similar from Bo Bunny called Black Tulle Petals.
Heather used gorgeous, thick lace for her card. Try Simplicity's Two Tier Lace Natural for something similar. Want to browse for ribbon? Like the image? It's Unwrapped Tilda by none other than Magnolia. :D
Jackie used the Swiss Dots embossing folder by Cuttlebug (I love this one but we carry a ton of others, too!!). I like the scalloped circle behind Tilda too! Check out Classic Scalloped Circle by Spellbinders.
Christine used the Christmas Morning Tilda stamp. The lace she used is really pretty too! Try the White lace pack by Kaiser! I like the key charm as well - for a closely related key charm, try Wings Key by Cousin.
Lols used Wish Granted Tilda. She also used the Mini Swirls White by Prima. Tilda is colored with Copic Markers and the papers are from the Yummy Tummy Collection pack (also by Magnolia). For more on how this card was made, check out Lorraine's blog - Lols is great at listing her crafting supplies so you can easily find items that you like...very much appreciated :D
Martine used an adorable image called Cuddley Horse by Magnolia. The "Congratulations on your bundle of joy" sentiment is by Whiff of Joy and comes in a stamp set called Baby Sentiments.Created by Marcea
Marcea used some gorgeous green flowers!! We have some by Prima called Winter Roses Glacier. Want some colorful snowflake paper? Check out the Eskimo Kissed Collection Pack by Basic Grey.

Domi used the Little Mermaid Tilda stamp. Want self-adhesive lace? You gotta try white lace ribbon by Hero Arts!
Jane's made another remarkable creation! The sentiment "the magic of Christmas" comes from Sammy's First Christmas - a stamp by Whiff of Joy. I like the snowy decoration in the top right corner too - check out Maya Road's chipboard Snowflakes. Note: Maya Road has lots of other kinds of chipboard too!
Jo has set pretty roses in the left corner - try Fairytale roses in Orchid, by Prima. If you like the Birthday Princess sentiment, this can be replicated with the Party Queen stamp set by Crafty Secrets!
Thanks again to the Design Team members who have made such extravagant cards!! You really inspire people to create their own! For a chance to win blog candy this week, please leave me a comment telling me your favorite Design Team card and why! One luck winner will receive Cream Swirls!

I like Debby's card...with ballerina Tilda. I love the layers to the skirt/tutu, and all the sparkle.
ReplyDeleteDebby's is definitely a favourite - I love all the sparkle and her hair looks amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteAll the DTs cards are gorgeous BUT this week Debbys is my all time fav..the soft colour combo..Tildas amazing hair colour & love the way she decoupaged the image up.. I know she does this a lot but this one is soooo awesome..
ReplyDeletesmiles Christine xx
Oh this is a hard one! All of the cards are stunning, but I love the red hair of Debbie's card. x
ReplyDeleteThey're all so gorgeous so it's hard to pick but I think Jane's beautiful creation stole my heart. =)
ReplyDeleteHugs, SannaS
I think all of them are beautiful but my all time fav is Jane's. So elegant looking :)
ReplyDeleteLol's card is my favorite! I love the color scheme! :)
ReplyDeleteThey all did an amazing job! But I think Heather's coloring is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteTo pick a favourite, now that's hard!
ReplyDeleteI think my favourite is Heather's card, love the colours, the different shapes/layers and the colouring is beautiful.
I hate to choose but my fave is Heathers card I love the distressed look and the beautiful colouring in the subtle shades i tend to always go for brighter colours I really must try this more as it looks stunning.Thankyou for the chance of winning these gorgeous pearls xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a difficult decision they are all STUNNING, but if I have to choose gotta go with Lorraine's just loooove easel cards and the colour purple! Gorgeous swirls, take careX:)
ReplyDeleteWell, I love all of them. I love Jane's because of all of the details she put in there! And I love Debbie's because of all the cute pink... Sorry it was a tie... :-) Thanks for a chance to win some bling!
ReplyDeleteDebbie's was a close second, but I liked Martine's best. I think it was the stitching that made the difference. I liked both cards because they were had a lighter feel to them and looked pretty and delicate.
ReplyDeleteoh they are all so gorgeous but I love the colors of Jane's.
ReplyDelete;)
They all so great but I love Debby's the most - the way she uses the ballerina image (3D) and the colors ....
ReplyDeleteThis is too hard! I've changed my mind 10 times already! Each design is so unique! I'm going with Debby. It's light and fresh plus the added layers on the tutu.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, really hard to pick a favorite. But I really love Heather's card. I love her coloring, so much dimension in it. Plus I love the green and the fabulous lace. :)
ReplyDeleteHi!I loved Debby's card ..because pink is my fav color and the flowers are so so delicate..and I love the coloring she has done on her Tilda!
ReplyDeleteMarcea's card really popped out at me, because I would never have thought of using green and pink in a snowflake theme!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Martine's. That pony is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are all fab but I think I would choose Debbies if I have to pick just one. My reasons I love clean looking cards and daisies and despite having loads of detail this card still has a clean feel to it and loads of pretty daisies too. Thanks to all the DT for such fab inspiration.
ReplyDeletedivicult to chouse, but my favorite is the card from heather
ReplyDeletethere are all gorgeous, well done to all the ladies
hugs angelique
I love Lol's card ... that is one of my favourite Tildas, beautifully cololured, and fab use of pearls. Oh and its in my favourite colour .. purple!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Cathy xx
oh what a hard decision, they're all fab but my vote goes to Lols. I love easel cards and her soft muted tones make this a winner for me:)
ReplyDeleteAnne x
Such a tough decision as all the cards are beautiful. I think I will have to say Lols is my fav...I love the colours, beautiful details and the sparkle.
ReplyDeleteHugs Emma x
Wow,all the DTs cards are so gorgeous! It's hard to pick just one but it is Martine's card with the Cuddley Horse image. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Heather's my favorite - beautiful coloring :)
ReplyDeleteLove the ballerina card by Debby. The way she colored the hair is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tough question! Everyone did great but if I was forced to pick just one I would have to say Heather because of the coloring, design, and detail!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 favorites
ReplyDeletemartine---love the little horse --I think that is perfect for a baby!
Jane--love the colors she used for a christmas card--very unique!
Love Debby's card! Why? Well it's pink, sparkly, has a ballerina and the layered image is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteall cards are gorgeous and it's difficult to choose. Debby's card is the sweetest and 3D image is great
ReplyDeleteAll cards are fantastic. But Jane's color combo is superb!
ReplyDeleteI like Domi's card the best. The Tilda stamp looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDebby's card is definitely my favorite. Reminds me of when I did ballet as a little girl...
ReplyDeleteDebby's card, hands down! The dimension on it is incredible!!!
ReplyDeleteall the cards are so nice,but i love debby's card.
ReplyDeleteThe colors,embossing,image and colors are so good:))
I love all the cards, but if I had to pick one, it would be Jane's. The earth tones just make Christmas and winter seem so much warmer and less icey and chilly.
