Good morning! Super excited to be joining in with a fabulous blog hop this morning to celebrate the brand new DIE-cember release from Simon Says Stamp!
I just adore everything in the DIE-cember release from Simon Says Stamp - I am absolutely in LOVE LOVE LOVE with this new Birch Column Wafer Die - I loved the Birch Tree Window that released in STAMPtember, and so happy that they followed it up with a couple more! So fun to have something that makes an amazing card with minimal effort!

So fun to have something that makes an amazing card with minimal effort!
The detail on this die is amazing! This is a Standard A2 size card, and I simply die cut the window then picked a pretty pattern paper for the background.
I did attach the front panel with some foam adhesive for dimension - ran it down each side, then a thin strip behind the largest tree for some stability.
Sentiment is from a previous release called Ready Set Snow - and seemed like the perfect accompaniment to this card. I embossed it on white on a simple strip of black cardstock.
Finished off with a few Pretty Pink Posh snowflake sequins and Clear Droplets in 4mm size.
Here is a tiny look at another card I posted yesterday using some more of the the fun dies in this release - you can check out that post HERE:
