Work it Wednesday April 2018
Happy Wednesday, creative-peeps! Welcome to Work It Wednesday for April 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 March were SO AWESOME! We were thoroughly inspired by all of your creative ideas, and we look forward to seeing what you make for this month’s challenge!
Do you want to see all of the cards and projects that were shared for March’s Work it Wednesday? Check them out!
The following three participants were randomly chosen to win a goody bag from Simon Says Stamp:

Cathy R (#79)
Donna Phelan (#60)
CONGRATS TO OUR WINNERS! Please email [email protected] with your mailing address and she’ll get your prize sent out to you.
Mother’s Day is right around the corner and we want to see what YOU will make for your Mom, Mama, Mother, Mum, Mam or Mammy!
Whatever you create – a card, a gift or anything that has a “mom” theme or is made for your mother – make sure that “mom” is the focus of the project! Once you’re done creating, make sure you link your creations below! Please remember to limit entries to 3 per month.
What are you waiting for crafters? WORK IT! ;)
Loading InLinkz ...One-Layer Multicolor Stamping – More Monthly Card Kit Inspiration with Kristina Werner!
Hello, all! Kristina here with more card kit inspiration! The May 2018 card kit is packed with amazing products for creating cards, so today I have two simple one-layer cards for you. I used the Everything Together stamp set, the two ink cubes in the kit, and the color palette from the papers and stickers in the kit to create two one-layer cards.
Included in the kit are two ink cubes, Melon and Spring Rain. To round out the ink colors so they are similar to the stickers in the kit, I used three additional ink cube colors: Willow, Duckling, and Teeny Bikini. I used all five of these colors to do multicolor “rainbow” stamping.
This particular stamping technique requires precision stamping, so it’s easiest to use a stamping tool like a MISTI (with the optional Creative Corners also). It’s all about stamping the same stamps over and over again and changing the position where you’ve applied the ink colors. It’s a time consuming process, but the end result is worth the hassle. It looks so awesome!
One of the large sentiments from the Everything Together stamp set was perfect for this technique, but I also created another card with the same greeting in black ink and colorful flowers surrounding it.
I hope you enjoy today’s video! You can pick up the May 2018 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe to this kit and future kits HERE.
