Simon Says Stamp Winter Wishes

Hey There! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Tim Holtz Be of Good Cheer set! You can snag this set free with any $25 purchase of Tim Holtz products over on Simon’s website! Let’s go ahead and get into the details, shall we?

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

I began this project by die cutting the snowman from the set using color coordinating pieces of cardstock. Since I was going for a snowy card, I opted to use blues for mine. Once all the pieces were cut, I assembled the snowman and set that aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

I found a piece of snowflake patterned paper and thought that would work well, so I trimmed it down to size and splattered it with some black acrylic ink. I created a frame with black cardstock using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and also cut a black square as a backdrop for the snowman. To add a little distress, I rubbed the edges with Ranger Picket Fence ink as well. The sentiment was created using blue cardstock and the TH Sizzix 661600. I was unable to locate this set on Simon’s website or even Tim’s website, so I’m assuming that it has been discontinued. My apologies about that, but any sentiment in your stash would work perfectly fine!

The black frame was adhered to the snowflake paper using foam strips, as was the sentiment strips and the smaller black center square. Because I like dimension so much, I went ahead and adhered the snowman with foam tape as well. One can never have too much dimension!

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Have you snagged your Be of Good Cheer set yet?! If not, head on over to Simon’s website to do so before they’re gone! Thanks again for joining me today, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Simon Says Stamp Birthday Rosettes

Hello Friends! I hope you’re doing well! I appreciate you stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Layered Rosette die and stencil combo! Let’s not waste time and jump right into it!

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

I began this project by cutting the Layered Rosettes from Neenah 110lb cardstock and then used the stencils for the ink blending. The colors used were Guava, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Melon, Surf and Ocean. Once the ink blending was complete, I adhered the layers of the Rosettes together using liquid glue along with silver centers.

For the background, I used the A2 Marquee die and splattered that with black acrylic ink before adhering the silver Streamer Ribbons die cuts. The Rosettes were then adhered using liquid glue and trimmed off before adhering this panel to a black panel for contrast.

The Happy Birthday sentiment was cut from black cardstock twice, the shadow portion was cut from Neenah 110lb twice and all of the pieces were adhered together before being added to the card with foam strips.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day! Stay awesome, Friend!

Simon Says Stamp Good Cheer Ornament

Hello Crafters, and welcome back to my blog! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Tim Holtz Be of Good Cheer set! Let’s run through the details for this one!

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

I began this project by die cutting the snowman pieces from the set with color coordinating cardstock. I then adhered the pieces of the snowman and went to work on the Layered Rosette from Simon’s latest DieCember release. I die cut the pieces of the rosette from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some ink blending using Cabbage and Artichoke ink. You can tell from the images that I die cut the smaller rosette from gold cardstock as well, for layering purposes. Before adhering the pieces, I did some white ink splatter for a bit of added interest.

Since I made this into an ornament, I die cut the larger rosette four times, used a hole punch so that I could tie ribbons, and adhered all of those together with liquid glue. To give it a bit of aging, I rubbed some Gathered Twigs Oxide ink along the edges as well. The snowman was then adhered using foam tape for added dimension.

To finish up, I used some gold thread for the hanging portion of the ornament, and used some red and white twine to make a bow as well. That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. You can receive your own Be of Good Cheer set free with an $25 Tim Holtz purchase. Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Birthday Leafy Branch

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the Leafy Branch for Simon’s latest DieCember release. 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 knew that I wanted a monochromatic look to this project, so I began by die cutting the flowers from Neenah 110lb cardstock, while cutting the centers from black cardstock. I’ll list the flowers used in the thumbnails at the end of this post. Once the flowers were cut, I did some light ink blending using Gravel ink.

I went ahead and assembled the flowers, and adhered Gunmetal Dazzling Gems to the centers of the smaller flowers. I die cut the Leafy Branch from black cardstock to provide that contrast that I needed. For added interest, I die cut the Double Plaid Cover from Gravel cardstock and adhered that to a darker grey cardstock using liquid glue.

Before adhering the leaves to the panel, I splattered them with white acrylic ink. I then adhered the florals in place with black foam squares. I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Birthday Basics set, using VersaMark ink and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder. The coordinating die was used to trim it out, along with two additional cuts for a stacked sentiment. That was then added to the card using foam strips, along with a few more embellishments to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! I always love working with florals, so this was a favorite of mine for sure! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Floral Whirl Leaf

Hello and welcome back, Friends! I’m back today with another project featuring the awesome Whirl Fancy Leaf from Simon’s latest DieCember release! I had a lot of fun with this leaf, and really love today’s project, so let’s go ahead and run through the details, shall we?

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

I began this project by die cutting the leaf twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some light ink blending on them using Lilac, Orchid, Seafoam and Surf inks. I had a few leftover flowers from the Hanging Leaf Ring set that I decided to add to this project as well.

Those flowers have some light Gravel ink blending on them, along with some Gunmetal Dazzling Gems. I love the Just Breathe set, so I stamped one of the sentiment onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set it using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. That was trimmed out using the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts for added strength and dimension.

I used the Postage Stamp Edge Frames to trim a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and splattered that with some black ink before proceeding. This panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, the leaves were glued into place and the flowers were secured with foam tape. The sentiment was secured with foam strips to finish this project up!

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did! I really love the simplicity of it, as well as the colors! Thanks for stopping by to check out today’s project! I hope you have a wonderful day, and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Starburst

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back to my blog! Today’s project is a super simple one, but it’s pretty nonetheless. It’s featuring the new Starburst Plate from Simon’s latest DieCember release, so let’s get right into the details!

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

I began by die cutting the Starburst Plate from Neenah 110lb cardstock and added some ink blending using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Celery and Seafoam inks. Once that was complete, I went ahead and adhered it to the card base using liquid glue.

The You Brighten My Day sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and four times from black cardstock. I adhered those pieces together while offsetting the gold layer slightly to give a shadow appearance. That was then adhered directly to the panel, and I added small gold pearls to the intersections of the die cut to finish up.

Like I said, a super simple card, but I like the way it turned out! Don’t forget to head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire DieCember release! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Joyful Santa

Hello Friends and welcome back! Have you snagged your free Be of Good Cheer set from Tim Holtz and SSS yet?! This is such a great deal! It’s automatically added to your cart when you spend $25 on TH branded products. These are products that we use anyway, so why not grab yours! My project today is featuring the Santa from the set, so let’s get into the details!

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

I began this project by selecting a piece of patterned Holiday paper and trimming it down. I then inked the edges of the paper using Distress Oxide Gathered Twigs to give it an aged look, along with some black splatter. I cut several of the Large Joy die cuts from black cardstock and adhered those to the panel in a random pattern.

I die cut the pieces of the Santa from coordinating colors in Neenah Solar White, black, red, fog, pink and tan cardstock colors. Once those were cut, I assembled the Santa using liquid glue. I used the Postage Stamps die to cut a black square that would be used to mount the Santa on.

The black square was adhered to my panel using foam tape and the Santa was adhered atop that with more foam tape for lots of dimension. This was then adhered to a black panel for contrast before being adhered to the card base to finish up.

That finishes up this project! I thought this was a good card to utilize some of that patterned paper that I seem to hoard for whatever reason! Be sure to grab your Tim Holtz set before they’re gone! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

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!

Simon Says Stamp DieCember 2024 Blog Party

Hello Friends and welcome to the SSS DieCember Blog Party! We have a EPIC party going on today with tons of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing! There’s also a free gift with a $100 DieCember purchase! No code necessary, it will automatically be added to your cart once the dollar amount is met. Please see the attached graphic below for all of the details. You can begin the hop at Simon’s website to soak up all of the inspiration from Simon’s awesome designers! My project today is featuring the new Hanging Leaf Ring, so let’s go ahead and get into the details!

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

In October I made a shadow box frame and since then, I’ve been itching to make another! The cute flowers and leaves from the Hanging Leaf Ring set seemed to be begging for their place in a frame, so that’s what I set out to do! I die cut around thirty five of the various sizes of flowers for this project and did some light ink blending on most, while a small few had some darker ink blending. The colors that I used were Bubblegum, Carnation, Seafoam, Ocean, Cantaloupe and Sherbet.

Once all of the ink blending was complete, I assembled the pieces of the largest flowers and added an Opal Dazzling Gem to the center of each flower. It’s a lot of flowers, but it actually went fairly quickly! I die cut a few of the leaves from this set using Smoke cardstock, along with a few leaves using the Budding Branches die.

While I was die cutting, I went ahead and cut the sentiment twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock and cut the shadow twice from black cardstock. All of the pieces were adhered together using liquid glue, and I went ahead and put foam strips on the back.

Now that all of the components were ready, I cut a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and splattered it with some black acrylic ink before beginning the assembly process. I began by figuring out the center and glued the leaves in place before adhering the sentiment. I then adhered the eight larger flowers and then adhered the remaining smaller flowers around everything.

To finish up, I added more Opal gems to the berry portion of the Budding Branches and put the panel back into the frame. That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I really love how this turned out and am wanting to make one for myself.

Don’t forget to head over to Simon’s storefront to check out the entire DieCember release! And .. don’t forget to head over to Simon’s website for the Blog Party. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day!
