Simon Says: Gift It






Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is

Gift It

Make a gift, gift wrap, gift box, gift bag, gift tag, you get the idea!

We are showcasing  My Favorite Things Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have them we would love to see them used.


As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

This week we are welcoming the lovely and super talented Michelle Lupton aka Handmade By Michelle into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before you are in for a real treat!

I used a Deer Friends Stamp and Coordinating Die Set and made a wine tag and matching card ;-)

Being partial to a thimbleful of wine now and again this was right up my street ;-)


I used kraft card stock and the paper is from a Milk and Cookies Paper Pack . I used a Lawn Fawn Stitched Party Banners Die Set to create the tag, moving the die along a couple of times to elongate it. 

I should have bought some Bollingers or Moet et Chandon champagne for the pic, but I had a bottle of Prosecco from Lidl handy ;-)


I used a MISTI stamping tool so that I could ink and stamp the deer a couple of times to ensure a good coverage. 


It wasn't until I was taking a sideways angle that I realised that I had forgotten to finish the inside :-/ I will get onto that now. 



So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting 

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.





You have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in
