A Few Card Ideas!

Happy Weekend to You!

Have you heard of Fiskars before? They're a great company with lots to offer including, punches, stamping accessories, stamps, and trimmers and cutting tools!

Here is a card Jennifer McGuire made using a Fiskars punch!
On the sweet card above Jennifer, used the Cloud Punch by Fiskars. We always love seeing what you make!!! : )

This cute card below is by Lisa Storms! She used the a punch similar to the Corner Deco Scallop by EK Success or you could use the Extra Jumbo Scalloped Square punch by Marvy and cut each diagonally in half!

Thanks for the cute inspiration, ladies!!

Bombshell Beauties!

Hello again bloggers!
We're still surviving the heat wave over here at Simon Says Stamp, but these new stamps we just got in are only making it HOTTER!

Bombshell Stamps have a classic and retro style, with a touch of good humor and plenty of attitude! Check out some of these finished designs from Bombshell Stamps Blog!

Look how SASSY this Girl's Ruin stamp looks! (I know stilettos like those could be MY ruin!)

This Bombshell Angel is ready to head out into the summer fun!

A cool thing about Bombshell Stamps too is that you can style them anyway you want, especially with markers like Copic or Letraset! That could have been a hot pink swimsuit, or a leopard stiletto not a zebra one! Don't think you could handle drawing a leopard pattern? No worries! Bombshell has you covered!

Just color in these Bombshell Patterns for special details!

For cool tattoo patterns or rock star designs, I especially love this stamp set of Lotus Garden:

Bombshell Stamps are fun, creative, and wild ladies with bold graphic design touches!
I hope they inspired you as much as they did me! It's hard not to think of people to send projects with these girls on to, or even fun things to make for yourself!

Enjoy your weekend!

An Owl Inspiration!

*Winner of the "Merry Christmas In July From Hero Arts" Blog is: Maria Doricheva! Please email me fran@simonsaysstamp.com to claim your Hero Arts prize :)

Have you met Jennifer McGuire's Mr. Holtz Owl yet?!?!



Owls were very popular at one time especially with Hero Arts Stamps and I would have to agree they still have some popularity today :) And the ongoing question "How does Jennifer McGuire do it?!!?"



Simon Says Stamp has it all... what I mean by all is "All Things Tim Holtz"!

Here are the ingredients that Jennifer McGuire used to make this ADORABLE owl :)


Sprocket Gears
+

Numerals
+

Paper Clips
+

Film Strip
+

Foliage
+

Game Spinners

= AN ADORABLE OWL :)

Don't forget that Simon Says Stamp has plenty of Grungeboard and Glossy Accents to go around! It's all about color when it comes to Tim Holtz Distress Inks! If it is for making your own owl or another fun animal Tim Holtz Idea-ology products are great for thinking outside the box!

Stay Crafty!
