Simon Says Stamp DieCember Is Here

December 3, 2020

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Simon Says Stamp DieCember is here!! If you are a fan of Simon Says Stamp you know this is big! Each December Simon Says Stamp releases special dies just for the month. This makes creating your holiday cards super easy.

You should have arrived here from Keisha’s blog. For my cards today I’m using several products from the release. My first card was made using the Autumn Splendor die. This die creates striking cards when paired with a festive yet simple background. The background on this card was made using the Winter Floral Mix. A quick sentiment and this card was complete.

My second card is featuring the large Be Kind die. Oh I love love love this die. I paired it with the Detail Petal Plate. Having stacked my sentiment a few times I added shimmer pen, an additional red heart and glossy accents to make it pop.

And for my last card I made a simple yet colorful card using the Hexagon Tile Wafers. I stuck to my tried and true color combo of aqua and red with a splash of white and gold. A simple sentiment and this one was complete as well.

Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop. Make sure to comment below and along the way on the hop. Winner will be announced on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday December 9th. Now on to the blog hop. Next on the hop is Daniel. The entire hop list is below for your convenience.

Hero Arts Rolling Hills

November 27, 2020

Hey everyone. Today’ I’m sharing a card made with the Hero Arts Rolling Hills Window Die. This die is incredible for quick and easy cards. Check out this soft and elegant holiday card.

I paired the Hero Arts Rolling Hills Window die with the Hero Arts Etched Winter Scene Bold Prints stamp. Stamping in image in soft pink ink for my base color then stamping again with embossing ink and sprinkling it with Hero Arts Sparkle Embossing Powder. Oh MY that embossing powder is amazing with this ink color.

After heat setting the embossing powder I die cut the in Dove White cardstock. I layered this piece on top of embossed background with Hero Arts precision glue. For the sentiment I used the Merry Christmas from the Winter Woods Heroscape stamp set.

For added interest I added some glitter to the rolling hills of the die cut. Also added some sparkle gems for good measure.

Lastly this panel was adhered to a Soft Pink card panel and placed on a white card base. I love the softness this card has. To see move cards made using Hero Arts products click here. Thanks for stopping by today. See you back here soon.
