Simon Says: Use Dies in DieCember!

Hello crafty friends it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Use Dies in DieCember and we are featuring always amazing Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Brand products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!   



Holiday Cheer! This is a two-week challenge and I had such fun with this one, I do love the colours. I started using Tim Holtz woodgrain card stock and die cut my top panel (dies listed below) and added it with foam tape to the woodgrain card base. I then die cut my snowflakes and glued them to the panel.


I added my Holiday Cheer dies to the bottom of the card and finished using some Pink Fresh gems.

Simon Says: Gifts!

Hello crafty friends it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Gifts and we are featuring always amazing Lawn Fawn products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!   


I love gift tags! These were super fun to make. I started by ink blending with my Candy Cane Stencils on a piece of 4.25 x 8.5 Kraft card stock. I then added some glitter embossing so the Unicorn White ink wouldn't smear as I worked on them.


I die cut all of my elements for the candy canes from Tonic specialty card stock and put them together. I then added them to the tags using a mix of glue and foam tape. I stamped my sentiment and added the strips to the tags with foam tape.


To finish off, a Tim Holtz candy to the centre of the bow and some fantastic red twine from my stash!

Simon Says: Winter Blues

Hello crafty friends it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Winter Blues and we are featuring always amazing Tim Holtz products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!   


I am in love with this stencil by Tim Holtz, who wouldn’t want a large polka dot tree! I picked the Paper Rose patterned paper and some Tonic blue glitter paste. I set it aside to dry, once completely dry I put my panel between two heavy books so the paste would not warp the panel. 


I « decorated » my tree using Pink Fresh Studio drops. I then die cut my Tim Holtz Noel die (most of my family is French Canadian) from two glitter card stocks and offset them. I liked the punch of red and it made the sentiment more visible.

Simon Says Stamp: DieCember is here!

Happy Sunday crafty friends! It's finally DieCember over at Simon Says Stamp!!! We are having a Blog Party to celebrate!


I love DieCember! Most festive month of the year with these amazing new products! I am sharing two cards today with products from the new release :)


This card is so going to my Mom, her Father had a love of birds and this sweet scene using the new Mod Plant Blocks stencils, the Rustic Nest dies, Winter Cardinal dies and the Christmas Botanicals Clear stamps will be perfect.

I ink blended my Mod stencil using Simon Says Stamp Marine Pawsitively Saturated ink then masking and stamping my foliage using Mist and Raindrop Pawsitively Saturated inks. I then die cut my elements and did some mild ink blending and put everything together using a mix of foam tape and glue.

I stamped my sentiment from the same stamp set and added some berried to the leaves!


This one is all about shine! I used all specialty card stock for maximum impact. The amazing die is the new Starburst Plate and I paired that with my favourite Joy die from a few years ago and some sweet Simon Says Stamp Snowflakes!

Go to the Simon Says Stamp Blog for the entire Party list!
