Handmade Holiday Release Blog Hop

November 12, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Handmade Holiday Release Blog Hop.

SSS-Slimline Rainbow Stencil, Large Rounded Tag, Etched Berry Branch, Reverse Sunshine & Rainbows

My project features the new Slimline Rainbow Stencil for the background. I blended Sweets, Cantaloupe, Lemonade & Sprout ink for the color. I die cut a Large Rounded Tag with white cardstock and layered a vellum Etched Berry Branch die cut. For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse Sunshine & Rainbows Sentiment Strips.

For my next card I trimmed strips of solid colored cardstock to 1 inch and adhered to a white card base. I popped up the negative die cut from the Etched Delicate Frond die. For the sentiment I used the Reverse Get Well Sentiment Strips.

Handmade Holiday

November 9, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of project from the festive new Handmade Holiday Release by Simon Says Stamp. You can check out the fun, new products HERE!

For this first card I used the First Night die on Soft Navy Cardstock. Behind the window opening I blended a few of the gorgeous new Pawsitively Saturated Ink colors. I used the Trio 6 & Trio 9 ink colors for a pinky-orange blended sky. For the sentiment I used the Winter Birds stamp set.

This next card features the new Sprinkle Snowglobe Embossing Folder with Cornflower cardstock. I blended some darker blues along the bottom of the panel using the new Trio 7 inks.

SSS-Sprinkle Snowglobe Embossing Folder, CZ Holiday Silhouettes

For the images & sentiment I used the CZ Holiday Silhouettes stamp & die set along with the green inks from Trio 8. I used a white gel pen to add a few white dots to the embossed snowglobe and embossed the sentiment in white onto black.
