With Sympathy

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

Anything Goes

We are showcasing Hero Arts Products this week. 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 $25 voucher 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.

I really struggled with this week’s challenge for some reason. No matter what I made, I just wasn’t happy with it. This was the best of all 4 cards I made. And the bonus is that it was super easy to make! I started out with an A2 sized piece of Plum Punch card stock and I embossed it using Simon’s Vine Canopy embossing folder.

I used an old MFT stitched rectangle die that I had in my stash and I die cut a small rectangle. Then I used a stamp set called With Sympathy by Hero Arts and I stamped some images on my small rectangle.

I trimmed a couple of strips of glitter card stock from Altenew’s Glitter Gradient Card Stock Set Milky Way and I adhered them to my embossed panel. I attached the small rectangle over the top of the glitter strips and then I attached the entire panel to a top folding card base. To finish her off, I added a couple of hearts from various dies and popped them up with some foam squares. Lastly, I added a few Satin Silver Sequins and my card was complete.

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