Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Stars and/or Stripes Tag using Tim Holtz's Stars Stencil, Media Marks 2 Stamp Set, and Funky Floral Wreath Dies

Happy Monday and welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  This week's theme is "stars and/or stripes."  I incorporated both into the tag I made.

I started by cutting out the tag shape using the Simon Says Stamp Luggage Tags die set.  Then I painted some stars onto blue cardstock using Tim Holtz's Stars stencil.

While the paint was drying, I painted this blue and green panel.

I made a second painted panel in a different color scheme and stamped on some stripes using Tim Holtz's Media Marks 2 stamp set.

I cut the painted panel to match the size of my white tag and glued it to the front.  Then I cut an arch-shape out of my blue star paper and glued that on, too, along with the pink collage paper at the bottom. I cut a wreath out of Tim's die set and cut off the leaves and twigs so it was just a wonky circle-shape.  I painted it red and then typed a sentiment on my typewriter.

I put the whole thing together and my stars and stripe tag was complete!

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Drink Me Card using Tim Holtz's Treats Blueprint Stamp Set

Another Monday brings another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme!  This week it's food and/or drink.  I dug into my stamp archives for this Tim Holtz Treats Blueprint soda pop image.  I remember when these blueprint stamp sets first emerged, so using this stamp set again was a fun trip down memory lane.  And the images are still great all these years later!

I stamped the soda pop bottle, colored it with Distress Watercolor pencils and paint, then cut it out.  I created a collage for the background, then glued the soda pop bottle on top of my collage.  I cut the collage out using a Mama Elephant Deckled frame die.  To finish it off, I typed the words "Drink Me" on my typewriter, then cut out around it using a Mama Elephant tiny tag die that comes with the Goody Bag Topper die set.  I colored the "Drink Me" tag with paint, Distress Watercolor pencils, and cello tape and glued it on top to finish off my card.
