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.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Man of Faith Tag using Seth Apter's Gridiron Die Set

"Masculine" is this week's theme over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.  I made a tag paying homage to faith-filled men and used Seth Apter's Gridiron die set to create textural elements.


I started by cutting the tag (from Waffle Flower) and the fabulous Gridiron shape.  You can't beat a Seth Apter die!


I glued the gridiron piece to the tag and painted it.  I also sprinkled on some Infusions and spritzed that with water.


I wanted to introduce another color, so I cut a slide shape from Tim Holtz's Specimen die set and added some purples into the mix.  I took another piece of the grid shape and painted that as well.  I also found a scrap paper that I tore into another sort of frame shape.


All that was left was assembly!  I glued the layers together and added an image from Tim Holtz's Photobooth set as the focal point.  I added some scraps of black fabric, then typed a sentiment to finish it off.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Collage using Tim Holtz Media Marks 2 and Dylusions Intense Colour Caykes and Sticks

Welcome to June and to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  This week's theme is a Rainbow of Color and we're featuring products from Dylusions.


I started by making a scribbly page with Dylusions Intense Colour Cakes and Sticks and paint.


I grabbed a black Dylusions journaling tag and cut it in half to use as the base of my collage.


I ripped my scribbled page into pieces and glued them to the tag.

I blended the edges with white paint and added some stamping with Tim Holtz stamps.  I also added some Tim Holtz cello tape.


I took another piece of my scribbly page and punched holes in it then glued it to the top of my collage.  I added more arch-scribbles.


I finished off the collage with a quote that I cut from Dina Wakley's ledger paper, set 2.
