Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Holly Jolly Release Blog Hop and sharing a project featuring the Layered Hills die set.
I die cut several colors of solid colored cardstock and layered them for this soothing mountain scene.
For the sentient I used one of the Thinking of You Sentiment Strips with a Sentiment Label die.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.
GIVEAWAY!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop. Winners will be chosen over the weekend and posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday, the 11th of November.

November 7, 2020 at 9:15 pmBailey is amazing! She’s got the creative genes working in her favor! The colors are great. Not ones I would have thought to pick, but that’s because I don’t have those genes! They remind me of the sand dunes right over yonder. (I’m pointing over to the Monterey Bay coastline, just a few miles away. I never leave the house these days because getting done the porch steps is kinda difficult. But it can be done, so now I want to go for a short ride and see the ocean and the sand dunes. Oh, ladies, look where at the stroll you put in my head! Thank you!!
