Glory to the Newborn King Card Kit

October 20, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m sharing several project I created using the new Limited Edition Glory to the Newborn King Religious Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

My first little shape card uses the The First Noel die set. I added some leaves and an embossed sentiment using the Glory to the Newborn King set. I also added some tiny red gems for a pop of color.

SSS-The First Noel, Glory to the Newborn King

This next card features the Tranquil Dove Embossing Folder and coordination Stencil Set. For the sentiment I used Glory to the Newborn King set again.

I also created a couple of tags using the Holiday Hymns stamp and die set.

SSS-Holiday Hymns, Glory to the Newborn King

Both tags were embellished with leaves from Glory to the Newborn King set along with little gems everywhere.

This last little shape card uses the Holiday Hymns again and I made it a shaker filled with tiny stars, added more leaves and little gems.

Sending Cheer Release

October 8, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple projects using the new Sending Cheer Release by Simon Says Stamp.

My first card featuring the Autumn Cornucopia die set. I die cut everything with solid colored cardstock and added some blending to each peace using fall colored inks. I flicked a bit of Cappuccino ink onto Buttercream for the background and added a sentiment from the Bountiful Blessings stamp set.

SSS-Autumn Corniuopia, Bountiful Blessings

This next card uses the Fab Fall Leaves and I did more solid colored cardstock and blending with fall ink colors. I used one of the Basic Shapes Circles to frame the sentiment embossed in white from the Homespun Gratitude stamp set. For the bling I used the Caramel Corn Embellishment Mix.

Butterflies 3 Ways

September 30, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m sharing three ways to use a couple of the new butterlfy die sets that came out in the STAMPtember® release.

SSS-Beautiful Butterfly Flaps, Flying Butterfly Collage, CZ Little Banner Basics

My first card features the Flying Butterfly Collage die. I die cut the butterflies into a panel of white cardstock. Then I blended some ink on another panel using Apple, Sunbeam & Seafoam ink. I adhered the butterfly panel over top and added matte gold butterfly die cut bodies. For the sentiment I used the CZ Little Banner Basics.

SSS-Flying Butterfly Collage, CZ Little Banner Basics

This next card uses the Beautiful Butterfly Flaps die set. I created an A2 gate-fold card and adhered the butterfly flaps to each side. I die cut two more butterfly halves out of vellum and a body out of matte gold. For the sentiment I used the CZ Little Banner Basics again.

SSS-Beautiful Butterfly Flaps, CZ Little Banner Basics

For a little contrast I added some pattern paper on the inside of the card.

For this last card I used the Beautiful Butterfly Flaps die set again but this time I did an inlay with solid colored cardstock.

This one is probably my favorite with clean and graphic nature and also….rainbow, hello.

For the background I used the polka dotted pattern paper included in the kit and then I embossed a panel of Rainforest cardstock with the Wild Berry Vines Embossing Folder.

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp along with many, many other crafters for a STAMPtember® Blog Party. We are showcasing more of the fabulous new STAMPtember® release.

I have a couple of projects to share using the new release.

My first card uses the Candle Cover die. This is such a fun, graphic showstopper of a design. I used all solid colored cardstock and added a sentiment strip from the Reverse Christmas Wishes strips.

My next card features the new Stained Glass Snowflake Die. This die has a coordinating stencil, but instead I backed the die cut panel with acetate and created a full card shaker.
