Simon Says Stamp & Show...MASKING!

First: the Penny Black Blog Candy winner is:

the lovely Paula (PEP)!!
http://pepcraftchallexp.blogspot.com/

Thank you for your comment and for following us!! Please email Fran@SimonSaysStamp.com to claim your prize! : )

As for the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge - this week the theme is Masking. Below, the Design Team is Stamping & Showing you their Masking!

Made by Dan!

Dan used Winged Things II, Creative Textures, and Spills & Splatters - all Cling Stamp sets by Tim Holtz. (If you have cling stamps and want to mount them to an acrylic block, try Thin EZ Mount Foam or Thick EZ Mount Foam - for a tutorial on how to use, go to our blog). For the coloring, Dan used Broken China, Walnut Stain, and Barn Door. He also used Memo Pins, Glossy Accents, and the Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.

Made by Nancy W!

Nancy W used the Concerto Mask by Tim Holtz. She also used Butterscotch Color Wash and Vintage Photo Reinker by Tim Holtz, Wheatfields by Tattered Angels, Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls by Ranger, and a mini mister (need a Mini Mister Organizer?) Nice picture, by the way Nancy! : )

Made by Lynne!

Lynne used Symphony Tissue Tape, Film Strip Ribbon, the Negative Rubber Stamp, Tiny Attacher (refills anyone?), a Texture Hammer, Barn Door Ink, Pine Needles Ink, and Black Soot Ink by Tim Holtz. She also used Grid Masks by Prima. I LOVE this page, Lynne - so many eye-catching parts!

Made by Nancy C!

Nancy C used some Symphony Tape (by Tim Holtz). She also used Spun Sugar Ink, Platinum Stickles, the Seasonal Mask, a tag, Mini Roses (like Chocolate Mocha by Prima), and White Flowers like those by Magnolia.

Made by Lori!

Lori used some gorgeous bright colors on Wendy Vecchi Stamps: Nature's Art, Botanical Art, and Make Mine Mini Art. Like that red border? It was made using Marketplace Tissue Tape and red ink like Blazing Red. She also used the Tag & Bookplates die and the following Paint Dabbers: Sunset Orange, Purple Twilight, and Red Pepper. Want to invest in a Vagabond?

Made by Terry!

Terry's tag was made using Just Fly by Wendy Vecchi, Le Romantique by Graphic 45, and the following Tim Holtz Products: Dried Marigold Ink Pad, Peeled Paint Ink Pad, Vintage Photo Ink Pad, Rusty Hinge Ink Pad, and the UM Fairy Garden Set.

Made by Linda C!

Linda C used the Fleur de Lis Die by Spellbinders, a Mini Mister, Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls, the Mini Florets Mask, Green Buttons like the ones by Autumn Leaves, Tattered Florals, the Snow Cap Paint Dabber, and Vintage Photo Ink. Like that card in the center with the flowers? Try Waiting For Santa Journaling Cards by Webster's Pages!

Made by Kim!

Kim made this beauty using the Mini Florets Mask, the Labels 8 Die by Spellbinders, Wendy Vecchi's Text Stamp, Fairytale Frenzy by Tim Holtz, and a nonstick craft sheet. Like that flower? Try distressing an Innocence Fiesta flower with Vintage Photo.

Made by Linda E

Linda E, this is a very cool frame. I like the Peeled Paint on the Wendy Vecchi Live & Make Art flowers (made with Grungepaper too!). She also used the Borderline Mask, Fragments, and stamps by Tim Holtz.

Inpsirations Take Away the Winter Blues

Are your winter blues getting in the way of your crafty thoughts? Well I hope Tammy Tutterow's, (who by the way is an amazing designer) vintage card cheers you right up :)


7 Gypsies Conservatory Patterned Paper, Ephemera Mini Vintage Cards

7 Gypsies Conservatory Patterned Paper, Ephemera Mini Vintage Cards

Not only does 7 Gypsies sell the amazing tapes we blogged about earlier this week, but Simon Says Stamp offers 7 Gypsies' many papers and vintage cards. With the luck of the draw Tammy also went with a vintage distressed look with using Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Walnut Stain and Tim Holtz Paper Distresser.


Prima Sugar Plum Carribean Roses

To top it all off use Maya Road's Trinket Leaf Pin and a Prima Flower.

But don't forget to put it all together with Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher and Therm O Web Mounting Adhesive Sheets!

Feeling cheered up yet?!? We got more!



Tammy does an awesome job with keeping a vintage, but simple theme with her card creations.



Again Tammy used 7 Gypsies' Conservatory Paper.


Jenni Bowlin Family Tree Journaling Cards

Simon Says Stamp is proud to carry Jenni Bowlin's line of journaling cards and Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps that were used to make this FABULOUS card. Tammy also chose to use Jillibean Soup Corrugated Shapes as a shadow to the Prima Flowers.

Just a dose of quick inspiration is what wipes those winter blues away! Hope that everyone feels inspired from these FABULOUS creations.

Have a Crafty Day!
