This week we are welcoming the super talented Wendy aka Dabble (Kinda) Doday<\/a>\u00a0into\u00a0the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!<\/p>\n

New to Wendy<\/a> are the Tim Holtz Dimensional Domes<\/a> that were released for the holidays but can be used all year long. While the tag is kept pretty simple to follow an organic feel, it showcases the Entomology Stamp<\/a> and Coordinating Die Set<\/a> beautifully!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrea<\/a> made a tag using Simon Says Stamp’s new Rounded Alphabet die<\/a> to spice up the background.\u00a0 She also used Simon’s Holy Stars die<\/a> and 3-Sided Scallop die<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a>\u00a0decided to start the new crafting year with a scrapbooking layout about some hopes and wishes for the year. She used the SSS Windows To My Heart die<\/a> and Heart Layers stencil set<\/a> to create the background. The butterflies were die cut with the pretty SSS Stitching Butterflies die set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Barbara<\/a> has created a card all branded Simon! She used new Simon Says Stamp Windows To My Heart Wafer Die<\/a> (You Are Loved collection), Simon Says Stamp Friend Outline Wafer Die ( DieCember Collection)<\/a>, Tonic Golden Years Nuvo Pure Sheen Confetti<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nCheiron<\/a> used the Simon Says Stamp\u00a0Outline Floral Frame<\/a> along with the Friend Outline<\/a> over a panel of brightly colored Alcohol Inks. She added a sentiment using the CZ Design Simple Sentiments 2<\/a> stamps cut out with the Sentiment Labels<\/a> Wafer dies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>\u00a0created a vintage style\u00a0Mini Etcetera Tag<\/a> using two gorgeous new products that she has added to her Simon Says Stamp collection ~ the Love Messages<\/a> stamp set and All My Heart Stencil.<\/a>\u00a0She combined them with products from Tim Holtz which included the Collector<\/a> and Botanical Layers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a>\u00a0decided to mix new and old to make a card for a friend, using the recently released Simon Says Stamp Ornate Love<\/a> stamp set and two old favourites, Simon Says Stamp\u00a0Falling Hearts Stencil<\/a> and Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous\u00a0Bird Crazy<\/a> and matching Framelits<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lols\u00a0<\/a>made a card using a new\u00a0Damask Background Cling Stamp<\/a> and a new\u00a0Always and Forever Clear Stamp Set<\/a> from the latest Simon Says Stamp You Are Loved Release\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Macarena<\/a>\u00a0made a black and white with a touch of red birthday card using Simon Says Stamp Damask Background<\/a> stamp and a lot of Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Powder<\/a> on the Simon Says Stamp So Loved<\/a> stamps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maura<\/a>\u00a0reminisced about the passage of time and the friends we have in our lives. She worked in her journal and used the Simon Says Stamp Kaleidoscope background<\/a>, Christmas Cheer<\/a>, Make Your Mark<\/a> stamps, and Simon’s Lined Circles stencil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using the new <\/span>Simon Says Clear Stamp Forever and Always You are Loved<\/a>\u00a0and <\/span>Simon Says Stamp Everyday Words on a Line Wafer Die<\/a>\u00a0to embellish the tag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandra<\/a> made an art journal spread with Nuvo Expanding Mousse White Linen<\/a> that she used for the first time and found out how it works and she used the Simon Says Stamp Ornate Love die set<\/a> from the lastest release You Are Loved<\/a>.
