Ordinary Joy - Tim Holtz June coordinating die release

Good morning! I'm back to share another card using the June 2026 installment of Tim Holtz coordinating dies that released recently from Simon Says Stamp! This card appeals to my music loving heart - and I had so much fun putting it together!


I started off by stamping that fun musical note image from Tiny Things 2 on colored cardstock with tone-on-tone ink colors. I used Honey, Mandarin, Blush, Royal, and Field inks and stamped on Banana, Creamsicle, Apricot, Cornflower, and Green Apple cardstocks. I then die cut with those amazing new coordinating dies - do you see how beautifully they cut even that section between the lines? I love that! I wanted to add a bit of interest to my cardbase, so I pulled out an older stencil from Simon Says Stamp called Brush Strokes, and used the same colors of inks I had stamped with on varying sections of the card. It still felt like there was too much contrast, so I blended the tiny bit of leftover ink on my brushes onto the cardbase very softly to add a little bit of a soft halo effect. I then popped those images up with foam adhesive strips. I added a sentiment from Tiny Text, die cut with one of the new coordinating dies for that set, rounded off one corner, then added a sprinkle of Dazzling Gems in Prism to finish off! Here is a closer look at this colorful and happy card:
