Time to Party

Hello again!! It’s time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.  This week the challenge is

Happy Birthday

We are showcasing our very own exclusive Simon Says Stamp Products this week because it’s Simon Says Stamp’s 14th Birthday!!  Happy Birthday, Simon!! I can’t even imagine what cardmaking would be like without Simon. If you have any of these products, we’d love to see them used, but it’s certainly not a requirement to join the challenge. 

As always, the generous folks at Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a voucher this week worth $50 to one randomly selected winner to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store.  You can enter 5 times which means you can make 5 different projects following this week’s prompt and have 5 chances to win a shopping spree!! Sounds like a win/win to me!! I’ve linked all of the supplies that I used at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

This isn’t my favorite shaker card I’ve made, but it was very easy to make. I used the Party Balloons Stencil to color my balloons with distress oxides inks. I also stamped the banners from Life is a Party stamp set in the same colors. I did all of this on Fog Cardstock.

I cut my shaker window out with a wonky die from my stash and I used the Luxe Glitter Cardstock for the background. I used Simon’s Premium Heat Resistant Acetate and I heat embossed a sentiment from the Life is a Party stamp set in white embossing powder.

I filled my shaker window with some chunky glitter that I had in my stash because it matched the Luxe Glitter Cardstock perfectly!

I popped the whole panel up with some craft foam and added a cute little silver bow to hold my balloon strings together. To finish it off, I added a few silver jewels.

So now it’s YOUR turn. Happy Crafting!!
