Heart to Heart Release

January 7, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects from the fun, new Heart to Heart release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Toaster Pastry, Fancy Hey Girl

My first card features the Toaster Pastry die set along with the Fancy Hey Girl die. I added some clay sprinkles to the pastry for fun. I also stripped up the background with strips of solid colored cardstock and used vellum & white glitter cardstock for the sentiment.

This next card used the Cedar Sprigs Embossing Folder for the background and the Brushed Pink die for the tree. For the sentiment I used the Make My Heart Flutter stamp & die set.

I used several shades of solid green cardstock for the tree and added a bit of Rock Candy Chunky glitter for some sparkly snowflakes.

Rainbow Shaker Tree

December 21, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Snowy Tree die that was included in the January Card kit. I thought it would be fun to try a rainbow shaker tree for a warm winter birthday card.

Yuletide Lane

December 11, 2025

Hi there! Today I joined Concord & 9th for their 2025 Favorite Things Party. We each created a project using one of our favorite products & colors from 2025. I chose Yuletide Lane and Eucalyptus for my color. As you can see I used just about every other color along with it, but that’s exactly what I love about Eucalyptus. It’s a color that is friends with all the colors.

Concord & 9th-Yuletide Lane

For my front house I used Eucalyptus and stamped the plaid pattern with Eucalyptus using the Plaid Turnabout™ Stamp. I added the “merry” banner with Poppy, Clementine, Buttercup, Avocado & Peacock.

Next was a Stardust house with stamped Stardust brick accents and a big ol’ holly & berry sprig in the center.

My last house was using Peacock with a Grapefruit and Pimento door. I added a wreath to make it festive and stamped the stripes with Peacock ink.
