Season’s Greetings
December 24, 2017Hi there! It’s almost Christmas! Ahhhh…I need like another week to get my act together. My back is killing me from sitting on the floor and wrapping presents, ha! I’m getting too old for this stuff! Just popping in to share a quick & simple christmas card that I made the other day using the Christmas Trees dies by Simon Says Stamp.
I die cut several trees out of solid colored cardstock and also some December Days pattern paper by Pinkfresh Studio.
I stitched the trees on with my sewing machine and silver thread and added a sentiment from the Coolest Yulest stamp set. This stamp set has been one of my most used sets this season. I just love it!
Thinking of all of you during this season and thankful that you take time to stop by my old blog. Sending holiday hugs your way!
SSS-Friends Release
December 14, 2017
Hi there! Have you seen the fun new Friends release by Simon Says Stamp? I have a couple of projects to share using some of my favorite new products.
My first card features more of the adorable Picture Book animals. You can NEVER have too many, right? I used the Picture Book Elephant, Giraffe & Koala and I dressed them up with accessories from the Picture Book Snowman, Deer & Santa. I also used the bow tie die from Cuddly Critters Accessories and some Lawn Fawn plaid papers.
I used the Stitched Oval & Rectangle dies to create my window frame and added an embossed sentiment from the Merry & Bright set. I used a R30 Copic to add rose cheeks, too. Seriously, I can’t even handle the cuteness going on here💗
Next up is a project featuring the Square Dance stencil & Stained Glass Love stamp set.
For the background I blended distress inks with the Square Dance stencil. For the sentiment I used the Stained Glass Love stamp & coordinating die and added accents using the Holly Fanfare die.
Sending you lots of love during this holiday season! Thanks so much for stopping by!

December 13, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project from the January 2018 Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.
I stitched several strips of pattern papers by Pebbles included in the kit onto my card and left the threads loosey goosey:) I used the smallest of the Basic Square dies to die cut a perfect little fish tale on the end of each paper strip.
For the sentiment I used the Really Like You stamp set that is included in the kit and popped the panel onto a Desert Storm card base.

DieCember® Blog Hop
December 3, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their DieCember® Blog Hop.
My first card features the Evergreen Circle die. I die cut the evergreen image with a nested circle die and then using a slightly larger circle mask, blended distress inks onto the background.
I embossed a sentiment from the Coolest Yulest stamp set and popped the panel up onto a Fog card base.
This next card uses the same technique and features the Picture Book Tree Background die.
I used a Basic Rectangle die to die cut the Picture Book Tree image out and then masked a slightly larger rectangle using post-it tape to blend the distress inks onto the background.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop.

Happy DieCember®!
December 1, 2017
Hello there & Happy DieCember®! The latest DieCember® release by Simon Says Stamp is now available and there is so much to love. I have a couple of project to share with you using a few of my faves from the release.
First up is a project featuring the new Picture Book dies. The Picture Book dies are some of my most favorite dies by Simon and I was absolutely giddy to see a Hippo, a Moose & a Polar Bear💗
For the background I partially die cut one of the larger Nested Circle dies to create a circle frame and blended distress inks behind using Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade & Squeezed Lemonade.
The sentiment is also from the DieCember® release and is called the Script Miss You die.
Next up is another fantastic new die! I LOVE this one. It’s called the Happy HB die.
I kept this one really clean & simple adhering several strips of colored cardtsock in a row to show through the die cut letters of the Happy HB die. I used one of the Nested Circle dies to die cut the Happy HB die cut into a circle shape and popped it up over the colorful strips.
The colors of solid cardstock I use are: (top to bottom)
Amethyst Allure, Royal Purple, Doll Pink, Schoolhouse Red, Chilli Pepper, Orange Peel, Sunshine
I’ll be sharing more projects in the next few days so stay tuned for the blog hops & giveaways!!

Suzy’s Classical Christmas Watercolor Prints
November 26, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp in a blog hop to reveal Suzy’s Classical Christmas Watercolor Prints. I LOVE all of Suzy’s Watercolor Prints! They make the best little gifts for crafty friends. In fact my kids are always asking, “Mom, do you have any new Suzy’s Watercolor prints, yet?” They love them, too!
For this card I simply colored one of her new Classical Christmas Watercolor Prints with Copics and turned it into a shaker card.
I created the frame using one of the Basic Rectangle dies. Then I used foam tape strips to create the shaker and filled it with Sparkling Clear Snowflake Sequins.

Milk & Cookies: Simon Says Stamp Card Kit
November 14, 2017
Hi there! Just poppin’ in with a cute little project featuring the awesome new Milk & Cookies December Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp!
I thought it would be so fun to make a pop-up box with the adorable Christmas Squad images. I used the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die for the box and the Christmas Squad stamp set for the images. I don’t have the coordinating dies so I fussy cut the images out.
I’m a huge Doodlebug fan so it was easy to fall in love with this kit! I also used some of the Doodlebug pattern papers from the kit on the pop-up box. I also added some Rainbow Sprinkle Jewels to the Christmas tree.
Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog for more fabulous inspiration showcasing this super fun kit. Thanks so much for stopping by!
