Autumn Inspiration by Hels Sheridan!

Hey there -
Hope your Sunday is restful and relaxing!  I'm excited to show you a gorgeous art piece today, made by Hels Sheridan!  I met Hels at Ranger U. and was lucky to sit next to her - with each technique we learned while we were there, her "practice pieces" astounded me!  Plus, she has a wonderful sense of humor : )

Without further adieu, here it is:

Here are the supplies she used:
"I used the Spool and smallest flower from the Art Part Sample pack, Distress Inks [Crushed Olive, Scattered Straw, Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey, Forest Moss, Barn Door] and Stains in Crushed Olive, Scattered Straw, Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey, Forest Moss, Barn Door.  Archivals in Olive, Sepia and Jet Black.  Studio 490 stamps, Alterations Movers & Shapers: Tattered Leaves, Branch and added in some Idea-ology Memo Pins with Glossy Accent middles.  The little mice and pumpkins are made from modelling clay and distressed with Dabbers."

Wouldn't this look beautiful as a Thanksgiving centerpiece?  Or maybe a mantle or shelf decoration!

Thanks to Hels for such a beautiful piece of inspiration! For a chance to win a $25.00 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp, please be sure to join our following and comment on THIS POST as well as Hels blog!  The winner will be announced on Monday's blog. Good luck!

Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Inspiration!

Hi there bloggers, Happy Saturday! Today, I'm so excited to share with you some super cool cards by Lisa Addesa. We're going to be using the same Circle Border die in slightly different ways to show you some different effects! Note: the Hexagon Border die would work well in these applications too!

How beautiful is this?! Paper threading, folks!! To recreate this beauty, use the Circle Border die on white cardstock & thread your favorite colors of colored cardstock through the holes after cutting to size.  This Birthday sentiment is from Paper Smooches, Sentiment Sampler.

Can't pick your favorite color of paper? Try a Simon Says Stamp custom assortment pack from Bazzill!

Get another pretty look with a monochromatic color scheme & skipping a few holes to create a lovely pattern! You can use orange cardstock and make dashed lines with the Uni-ball White Signo Pen, or try some orange ribbon to re-create this look!

Isn't this gorgeous! Lisa cut and pasted card stock in this pattern before die cutting, but you could also just run the circle border die through with your favorite patterned paper! Tie if off with your favorite ribbon!

I love that Lisa put a holiday spin on this card design! I think this is totally beautiful and elegant, and yet, it could be mass produced without a great deal of time!

Supplies to make similar creations of all the beautiful creations above:



Thanks for reading, and thanks again to Lisa for sharing some seriously inspiring cards today!
