I used these products: Cuttlebug Stars embossing folder, Simon Says Stamp "Oh Happy Day" craft die, Hero Arts CL371 Essential Messages and Stone Wash mid-tone ink, Adirondack Cranberry ink
For those who haven't tried the faux-letterpress technique, it's really simple: ink the top of your embossing folder before inserting your paper and embossing it. I chose this Hero Arts mid-tone ink because I knew it would give me good coverage.
Now it's your turn! Make something using our theme this week and upload it to our Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog.
As usual, there's a $50.00 voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore!!
