XL Criss Cross Pop Art
June 30, 2026Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple more projects using the add-on XL Criss Cross Pop Art Dies. These were add-ons to the recent Pop Art Card Kit. You can check out more about that kit HERE. Although the kit itself is sold out, many of the contents are available individually.
I die cut A BUNCH of solid colored cardstock using the XL Pop Art Circles & XL Criss Cross Pop Art dies. For the card above I used a Reverse Big Bold Headlines XL EZ Strips for the sentiment. For the card below I used the CZ With Love die for the sentiment.

Shine On Release
June 24, 2026Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects using the fun, new Shine On Release at Simon Says Stamp.
My first project uses the Presto Pop Embossing Folder for the background. I die cut a vellum circle using one of the Nested Circle Frames dies. For the blooms I used the Quirky Daisies & Dewdrop Daisy dies. For the sentiment I used the Blooming Flower die set with Matte Gold and vellum.
My second card features the Dancing Meadows Cover Die. I blended color on the blooms and foliage using Pawsitively Saturated Inks. I added a butterfly using the Flourish Beautiful Butterfly. For the sentiment I used the Cottagecore stamp & die set.

Let’s Celebrate
May 31, 2026Hi there! Today I’m sharing a cute, little celebration card featuring several of the fable critter dies. I used the Fable Elephant, Giraffe, Bear & Mouse dies. I blended a subtle rosy cheek on each and also used the Cap and Gown die set to add a graduation cap to the elephant & bear.
For the background I trimmed some solid colored cardstock to make a happy rainbow burst. I didn’t use a die or anything for that. I just kinda eyeballed it and hoped for the best:) I did use an hill die for the ground. For sentiment I used the CZ Big Old Birthday set.
If you took off the grad caps this could be a cute birthday card, too!
