Winter Embroidery Hoop Ornament - Simon Says Stamp DieCember 2025 Release

Good morning! I'm dropping by with another fun project using the BRAND NEW and HUGE DieCember Release from Simon Says Stamp that just released! This is a fun hanging ornament, that is a mix of lots of different fun textures, from wood, to felt, to glitter cardstock - all so fun!

I pulled out my pack of Spellbinders Embroidery Hoop frames that I had picked up recently and wanted to put to use - it seemed perfect for this project, and was the perfect base! I first cut a circle with Basic Circles of Trend Collection Spellbinders Felt to back the hoop. Then I set about die cutting several new dies to create the decorations. I used Flourish Bear, cut from white glitter cardstock, and then added a little scarf for him from Snuggle Snowman, cut from more of the same felt to keep that texture tied in. The snowflakes were cut from some of the Card Front 2 pack using Splendid Snowflakes die, with a Mandarin Dazzling Gem in the center of each one. Sentiment was cut from Honey Gold and white cardstock using Sending Warm Hugs die, and then I tied on some Faux Silk white ribbon to give it a way to hang up! Here are more photos of this finished project:

Warm Wishes Cozy Bird - Simon Says Stamp DieCember 2025 Release

Hello! Super excited to be sharing my first card with the BRAND NEW and HUGE DieCember Release from Simon Says Stamp that just dropped! I used a total of TEN new products on this one card - and in honor of the month, it also features almost entirely die cutting - no stamping to be seen! And I love the warm cozy vibes it's giving!

I don't even know where to begin listing what I used on this card - haha! The first thing I die cut and assembled was the lovely Sweet Songbird die, using a mix of white, Cream, Lipstick Red, Schoolhouse Red, and Chocolate Brown cardstocks. I did a bit of ink blending on the white base layer with Buttercream and Blush inks. Next, I die cut the Jewel Heart die, using Ivory glitter cardstock for the base layer, and white for the detail layer. I used Assorted Card Fronts 2 for some of the other die cutting - the Weaving Plate cover die and Pointy Pine Sprigs die, as well as for the base background layer for the card. I added Eyelet Layer Frames die for some lacy texture, and Warm Wishes Medley die for the main large sentiment. Secondary sentiment is from EZ Strips Reverse Just Sayin', paired with the new EZ Strips Slanted Rectangles dies. Finished off with some of the Moonlit Snow embellishment mix tucked around in little trios to finish off! Here is a closer look at this finished card:

Snowflake Ornament - Simon Says Stamp/Tim Holtz DieCember Surprise

Good morning! Today I'm sharing a project using a fun surprise freebie from Simon Says Stamp in partnership with Tim Holtz - free with any $30 purchase of Tim Holtz product! This fun 3D snowflake die was so fun to play with! There is also some NEW lightweight cardstock (that would work PERFECTLY for this die!) - but I used normal cardstock since I didn't have that in hand yet. :) 

I die cut my snowflake from Seafoam cardstock - cutting the outer part 3 times, and the center pieces each one time. Before assembling, I scored the lines with my scoreboard - since the cardstock was heavier, this helped it to be able to fold easier. I also did a touch of ink blending around the outer edges with Seafoam ink. I then assembled it, using thin sturdy adhesive tape to hold the seams together. I used liquid glue to hold the center pieces on, and set something on top to hold it all together. Once that all dried, I added lots of Dazzling Gems in Prism to the center, a string of Silver Cord, and then used my finger to smudge on some Glossy Accents before sprinkling over Rock Candy chunky glitter for lots of sparkle! Here are more photos of this fun finished project! :)

Pattern Paper Framed Baby Cards - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! This past week I shared a few baby cards I put together to build up my stash - and since that didn't feel like enough baby cards to have on hand (been going to lots of baby showers lately!), I decided to assemble a few more. I used a fun frame die from Simon Says Stamp - and paired it with some lovely pattern paper to help this set of cards come together so quickly and easily! 

I started off with some fun backgrounds, and then the main panels from some Echo Park 6x6 pattern paper - a mix of Baby on Board Girl, and Baby on Board Boy. I trimmed the front panels with A2 Rectangle dies, and cut white frame using Lacy Point Frames die. Then I just layered up pattern paper and the framed panels, using foam adhesive to pop the frames up. Easy peasy! And now I have a nice big stash of baby cards to pull out when needed - some boy, some girl, and some neutral for those fun surprises! Here are lots of photos of these finished cards:

Patchwork Cozy Thank You - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Today I'm sharing a simple stenciled card in some warm and cozy colors - layering stencils just never get old, even when they are super simple ones like this! This was another set from a recent Simon Says Stamp release that I hadn't had a chance to use yet, so it was fun to pull out my inks and have some fun!

I used the Patchwork stencil set with a mix of Clay, Terracotta, Butter, Zest, Cabbage, and Artichoke inks. I just used two of the stencils for this card, and arranged them all on one panel of white cardstock, overlapping them slightly. Because of this, I chose colors that would blend in the overlap and look okay. I stamped a sentiment from Graceful Swans (I love the font on these sentiments!), then covered the sentiment to protect it and added a good amount of White Splatter. Once that dried, I rounded off one corner, and wrapped some Lawn Fawn white twine around to tie in a bow. I mounted that panel on a cardbase created with Concord and 9th cardstock, and rounded off one corner of that as well. Finished off with a few clusters of coordinating Dazzling Gems in Mandarin, Butter, and Sprout! Here are more photos of this finished card:
