Joy for You Holiday Tag Kit

November 29, 2020

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.

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

Case Me a Christmas Card

November 11, 2020

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.
