Simon Says Stamp Merry Whirl Leaf

Hello Friends and welcome back! Simon’s latest DieCember release is live, and it’s a fun one! My project today is featuring the new Whirl Fancy Leaf, and I can’t even tell you how much I love this project! I love it so much that I’ve decided that it will be the design for my personal Christmas cards this year! Let’s go ahead and get into the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by die cutting the Whirl Fancy Leaf from a green cardstock and did some ink blending along the edges using Kale ink. I then adhered red crystals at the intersections of the stem and leaves. I ordered these gems from Amazon, but use whatever you have! I also die cut the Merry, which is from the Holiday Typewriter Trio, once from Simon Red Matte Metallic Cardstock and twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock. Those pieces were then adhered together using liquid glue.

I then used the Postage Stamp Edge Frames to trim a panel from Neenah 110 and then splattered it using Rainbow Splash Scarlet ink. I just smooshed some ink on my glass mat and added some water next to it and mixed a tiny bit of water with the ink.

The leaf was adhered to the panel using liquid glue, which was just placed along the stem, and the merry was adhered atop that. That panel was then adhered to the card base using foam tape for added dimension to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it! This is a very clean and simple design, but I love the way it turned out! And, clean and simple is good when you decide to mass produce for your own holiday cards! Don’t forget to swing over and check out the entire DieCember release! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Snowy Warm Hugs

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Today I’m featuring the new Simon Says Stamp Exclusive die cut from Tim Holtz, Be of Good Cheer! What a fun little set to play with, AND it’s free with any $25 Tim Holtz branded purchase! Hurry though, this offer is only while supplies last! I created a few projects with this set, so let’s go ahead and go through the first one.

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by embossing a panel of watercolor paper using the Snowflake Visions Embossing Folder. I used watercolor paper because I knew that I was going to be adding moisture, and I wanted a paper that good withstand that. I added some TH Distress Spritz in Uncharted Mariner and let that dry some before adding some Peacock Feathers Spritz. When that was dry, I used a brayer and white ink to roll over the raised portions of the panel to brighten it back up. I wasn’t done there .. I also added some white splatter to the panel as well.

I set that aside to dry while I worked on the snowman. The snowman is several pieces so I cut the coordinating pieces from Neenah, black, blues, grey, orange and pink. Once those were all cut, I assembled the snowman using liquid glue. I also cut a silver frame using the SSS A2 Thin Frames set, and the Warm Hugs was also cut from silver cardstock as well. I did two additional cuts from Neenah and cut the shadow twice from Neenah and glued all of those pieces together for that stacked sentiment look.

The silver frame was glued to the panel, while the sentiment and the snowman were adhered using foam tape before being adhered to the card base.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out the entire DieCember release, including this cutie set from Tim Holtz. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
