simon says... dies and/or punches!

Hi, friends! How is it possible that we're almost half way through October?! Unbelieveable how time is flying by lately!

Another Wednesday means it's time for another challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog!


This week, it's all about the dies and/or punches! And the team was asked to use some of the new SSS Exclusive Craft Dies. If you have 'em, let's see 'em! But if not, you can still use dies and punches you already have on hand for the challenge. :)

Here's my card:


I love the sentiment dies, and a "Thinking of You" sentiment is most versatile, so that's what I went with. Super simple card here, just trying to keep the focus on that awesome script. :) Since it's so narrow and delicate, I found the easiest way to adhere it was with the Sakura Quickie glue pen... a nice, small, ballpoint tip with still plenty of control. ;)

And now it's your turn! Break out the punches and/or dies and then upload your project HERE by 8am EST next Wednesday (the 17th) to be entered into the $50 voucher drawing!


Good luck and have fun! And please swing by HERE to see my fellow teammates' creations and links to their blogs, too!

 
Thanks for reading today, and have a lovely week! See you soon... :)
