Hexagon Tiles

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this colorful project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Hexagon Tiles dies. I created a rainbow hexagon wreath. Do you think it can work for a modern, Christmas vibe?

I die cut the Mini Hearts Party die in white and then adhered strips of solid colored cardstock with foam tape behind the hearts. For the sentiment I stamped the circlular “love you” sentiment from Love Greetings Mix with versafine ink onto white cardstock and die cut it using a circle die.

EXCLUSIVE Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Cardinal die

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun card featuring the new exclusive Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Cardinal die FREE with any Tim Holtz brand purchase while supplies last! 

EXCLUSIVE Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Cardinal die

How cute are these cardinals? I googled “cardinal” to get some inspiration and was pleasantly surprised to find the gorgeous colors of cardinals that I never knew existed.

EXCLUSIVE Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Cardinal die

I used the Stitched Sloped and Hills dies and CZ Hello die for the sentiment. I flipped the yellow cardinal die cut over to get it to face the opposite direction. I die cut the yellow cardinal on scratch paper and went over it with my bone folder so that it doesn’t have scratchy looking marks on it.

I also created a coordinating red gingham envelope to coordinating with the card using the Slimline Envelope die. Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more incredible inspiration using this die. It is only available FREE with any Tim Holtz brand purchase while supplies last! Thanks so much for stopping by!

DieCember® Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for Day 2 of their DieCember® release blog hop. You can check out the awesome, new release HERE!

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Hugs, Hello & Reverse Christmas

I have three projects to share today featuring the Diamond Tiles die set. This set is close to my heart because my oldest daughter, Alex, designed it. I coordinates well with her previously released Good Vibes stamp set.

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Hello

For my first card I simply die cut several colors of solid colored cardstock using one of the smaller diamond dies. For the sentiment I used the CZ Hello die set with white & slate cardstock.

This second card features one of the middle diamond dies. For each die I used a darker & lighter shade of cardstock. The two colors together create a cool 3D look.

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Hugs

For the sentiment I used the CZ Hugs die with vellum and gold foil cardstock.

My third card uses the leftover diamonds that came out the second card die cuts. That’s what you call being thrift & nifty:)

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Reverse Christmas

For the sentiment I used one of the CZ Reverse Christmas Sentiment Strips.

Joy for You Holiday Tag Kit

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of cute, little tags using the latest Holiday 2020 Tag Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Christmas Tree Tag & Outline, Joy for You

I used the adorable Christmas Tree & Outline die that is included in the kit as well as embossed sentiments for both tags from the Joy for You stamp set. For this first tag I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock and then die cut the strips using the Outline Tree die. I adhered moonstones for the ornaments on the tree and black tie twine.

SSS-Christmas Tree Tag & Outline, Joy for You

I used one of the Large Tag dies for both tags with vanilla cardstock & gray pattern paper. For this tag I used rainbow sparkle jewels for the ornaments with peppermint twine. I also added a small little hill for the tree using one of the Stitched Slopes & Hills dies.

From Our Home to Yours

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful project that could be fun for the holidays, but also all year round.

SSS-Neighboorhood die, CZ Good Cheer

I used the Neighborhood die Simon Says Stamp with stripes of solid colored cardstock for a colorful background. You know how I love to strip it up:) You could do this in so many color variations.

SSS-Neighboorhood die, CZ Good Cheer

For the sentiment I used the CZ Good Cheer stamp set embossing it in white onto black and used a sentiment label die to cut it out. I popped the entire panel onto a Fog base.

Case Me a Christmas Card

Hi there! Today I’m joining my crafty friend, Michelle, for her Case Me a Christmas Card Challenge.

SSS-CZ Chunky Trees & Holly, CZ Joy, CZ Good Cheer

My card above was inspired or “CASEd” by Michelle’s below. I mimicked her diagonal stripes using some Concord & 9th cardstock. I also kept with her placement of the sentiment & holly, but I did change the orientation. I’m a rebel like that:)

For my card I used the CZ Joy die along with the CZ Chunky Trees & Holly die set.

SSS-CZ Chunky Trees & Holly, CZ Joy, CZ Good Cheer

I added a coordinating embossed sentiment from the CZ Good Cheer stamp set.
