Work It Wednesday August/September 2018: Celebrating Stamping & STAMPtember®!
Happy Wednesday, friends! Welcome to Work It Wednesday for August and September 2018!
In case you’re wondering what ‘Work It Wednesday’ is, let me explain: On the third Wednesday of every month (or towards the end of the month ?), we want to see what you’re creating! The Simon Says Stamp community is so very talented, and we want to see more of your cards and projects every month.
We thought this would be a great way for all of you to ‘stretch your creative muscles’ and share what you’ve been working on. So we’ll give you a little challenge each month, and you’ll have until the following month to share what you’ve made. Please limit entries to 3 per month.
Each month we’ll pick a few random participants to win a Simon Says Stamp grab bag! YAY!
The projects and cards that were shared for July were SO FUN! Do you want to see all of the cards and projects that were shared for last month’s Work it Wednesday? Check them out; there is loads of watercolor inspiration to see!
The following three participants from July’s Work It Wednesday were randomly chosen to win a goody bag from Simon Says Stamp:
CONGRATS TO OUR WINNERS! Please email [email protected] with your mailing address and she’ll get your prize sent out to you.
We were thoroughly inspired by EVERYONES creative ideas, and we look forward to seeing what you make for THIS month’s challenge! Because September is our HUGE STAMPtember® celebration month, we want to see you create a project that features your favorite stamping technique in a celebration or birthday theme!
Here are 3 ideas to kick-start your stamping creativity!
Once you’ve stamped your celebratory masterpiece, make sure you link your creations below! Please remember to limit entries to 3 per month.
Note that this challenge will extend through until October due to many STAMPtember® festivities happening all throughout the month of September! We will have a new Work It Wednesday again in October.
What are you waiting for crafters? WORK IT!

Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Leaf Launcher Surprise Interactive Card!
Hello crafters! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today, sharing a super-fun interactive card that features Sunny Studio and Lawn Fawn products! The cool thing about today’s card is that the interactive element does not require any special dies or products.
We’re less than a month away from the first day of Autumn… which is quite hard to believe! The Fall Kiddos stamp set from Sunny Studio really captures the joy of Fall with the sweet images and mix-n-match sentiments. In my interactive card, I used quite a few of them.
All of the colors used throughout this card are anchored by the brand new Knit Picky 6×6 paper pad by Lawn Fawn. I love the bright, Fall-inspired colors in these papers and used the multicolored leaf pattern as my guide for selecting the Copic markers I used in coloring the kids.
I built a scene for the kids using dies from Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp. Here are some details on what I did:
- The grass is cut from Green Apple cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillsides die set and blended with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink.
- The trees are from the Lawn Fawn Birch Trees die set and cut from Neenah cardstock. There are highlights on the trees, drawn with a Gelly Roll white pen.
- On each tree are a variety of colored leaves that I cut with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Leaf Wreath die from different colors of cardstock.
- Behind my scene is a background that I ink blended with Wild Honey and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks. I added splatters with some water for texture.
- I also included a greeting from the Fall Kiddos stamp set and tucked it under one of the trees.
Now you are probably looking at this card and wondering why I would consider this an interactive card… because nothing moves! Well, that’s where the surprise comes in to play! The interative element is on the INSIDE! When you open the card…
Ta da! Inside the card is a spring-loaded “leaf launcher”, that flings a scattering of Fall leaves out at the receipient! This is SO easy to make and so much fun. I have a video below showing you the step-by-step details on how to put it together, so that you can surprise your friends with a card full of happiness for the Autumn season!
I hope you’re inspired by today’s tutorial featuring some of these adorable products from Lawn Fawn and Sunny Studio! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting with me today!
