Hello there! Today I’m sharing one last project for 2016 featuring the adorable Penguin dies by Simon Says Stamp. I was inspired by this fabulous card by Yana.I dressed up the cute penguins for a New Year’s party using the Cuddly Critter Accessories. Then I used Big Numbers and Happy Christmas for the sentiment. Don’t think you can go wrong with googly eyes, party hats & balloons, right? Thank you so very much for all your love & support in 2016! I am looking forward to the new year and all that it holds…Happy New Year, friends♥
I also have a winner to announce from my Altenew giveaway post HERE. Congratulations Tina Holman!

Also want to mention that today’s prize sponsor is My Sweet Petunia, which I used on this project and nearly every project that I make. I colored the images with Copics and added some glossy accents to the berries. I used one of the Nested Circle dies to create a window panel and added bright red bow using the Perfect Bow die with Lipstick Red cardstock.

Hey Love! Have you seen the gorgeous new Hey Love release at Simon Says Stamp? Everything is soooo pretty & perfect for sending love all year long!My project features the beautiful Hey Love word die along with the Folded Heart die. I used some delicious pattern papers from the C’est La Vie 6×6 pack. I’m in love with these fresh, modern patterns. I actually just made a birthday card for my daughter with these papers and she LOVED it! Here’s the card I made for her.She said and I quote, “Mom, I think you’ve gotten better over the years.” lolololol….Hey, I’ll take it, folks! I used my Silhouette Cameo to make the “16” & the “alex”…so easy, but the papers make it look so good. But I’m in love with all of the gorgeous handwritten word dies designed by Kristina Werner. She has such a amazing gift! That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great day!
Hello there! Today I’m very excited to join Simon Says Stamp along with several talented designers in a hop to showcase the awesome new Diecember® release. My first project features the adorable Bear Hugs die. I die cut several pieces of felt and created a bear felt banner. In rainbow order, of course:) I adhered the bears with glossy accents. I added a sentiment using one of the Handlettered Greetings dies with Fog cardstock. I used spray adhesive to adhere it to the card. I had a bunch of colorful little felt hearts left over from die cutting the Bear Hugs and used them on this next card. This card features the gorgeous Circle Leaves die with Cream Off cardstock. I added a sentiment using one of the new Missing You dies with Sea Glass yardstick. Two cards made solely with dies!!! So fun! These new Diecember® dies are fantastic! GIVEAWAY!! Leave me a comment for you chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp….woot!!!
