Wishing you Hygge - Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit

 Hello! I'm popping in to share another card using the newest December 2024 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Warmest Wishes! This month's kit is so cozy! I have a thing for Scandinavian design - this set totally nails it! The included stamp set by the same name features some festive images and sentiments (there is also a coordinating die for this set available separately HERE). There is a fun embossing folder, cute ink cubes, color blend cardstock panels, glitter embossing powder...that's all not to mention the cardstock, envelopes, and more! 

The monthly card kit has even more perks now when you sign up for the new Subscription service! There is a video HERE you can watch to learn more!

This card was so fun to create! I actually tried to use one of the Snowflake Adhesive transfers in the kit, and didn't read the directions well enough (whoops!) - but, even if I had done that correctly, I would still able to use the black printed piece for this card! I layered it over a piece of the Color Blend cardstock in the kit, and adhered it together in the space I was planning to add my heart - that way you can't see the adhesive! I stamped my sentiment on the heart, die cut from the outline in Deco Heart wafer dies, and blended together Surf and Fairway ink on the large sentiment to mimic the colors on the background - such a pretty effect! I popped that up with foam on my background, then added some Dazzling Gems in Opal - my new favorite! So pretty! Here is a closer look at this card:

Dreamy Background Notecards - Pinkfresh Studio Craft Along Card

Last night was the final Craft Along of 2024, a fun small mini event we started doing last year. We don't have any dates set for next year, and are choosing to focus for now on enjoying the holidays - but I wanted to stop in and share the cards we created last night. I really love how they turned out! 

Since this was part of that event, I'm not going to share any details of how I created it - but I wanted to share some photos, and I've included a supply list at the bottom as well. Looking forward to more crafty adventures next year!

Our holiday release is always one of our largest, so I have lots of cards to share with you today!

First up - I always love when we release new washi tapes - and this new holiday one is simply stunning! There is also (of course) a coordinating stamp and stencil set. This washi set is the first in a new and more user friendly design. We now have the stamp and die split up into two different pieces. This makes it easier to fit it all in a standard stamping platform, as well as on standard cutting plates! The washi is still in one piece, but you simply can choose to cut it one piece at a time, or tape them both in place and cut together. So helpful! I paired the washi up with the new Festive Grid coverplate die (those tiny stars are SOOO cute!), as well as the fabulous new Holiday Greetings sentiments hot foil and die combo. A frame from Stitched Scallop Rectangles and a few Gold glitter drops finish this one off. Here are more photos of this finished card:

Next up - this elegant card in neutral tones!

For this one, I mostly featured the lovely Radiating Snowflake press plate, hot foiled in Aura foil. I created a frame using another of the Stitched Scallop Rectangles, and then used Nested Rectangles to create a layered window inside. I added some cream cardstock behind for subtle contrast, and finished off with another sentiment from the Holiday Greetings sentiments, and a few Clear gems with gold dust for sparkle. Here are more photos of this card:

And now we move from elegant straight to adorable!

This Holiday Bicycle set is SOOO cute and fun! I love the snowflake wheels! I also used the Radiating Snowflake stencil to add some interest to the background, the sentiment set again, but this time the stamp set, another of those Stitched Scallop Rectangles (but in white this time), and a bit of sparkly Stickles on some elements of the design - finished off with a few Glacier jewels. Here are more photos of this card:

Next up - shaker cards are always so perfect for the holidays I think!

This one features the new Festive Foliage Tree set - I used the press plate and green foil, then used some soft and slightly nontraditional colors. I created a window using Nested Arches, and filled it with sparkly star confetti, backed with coordinating green cardstock. The front panel also was dry embossed with the Festive Grid coverplate die for some texture. Another one of those fabulous sentiments, and a few coordinating clear drops finish this one off! Here are more photos:

And finally - wrapping up today with this two for one duo!

These cards feature the Poinsettia Frame product suite. I used the press plate to hot foil, and then foiled the reverse with the solid hot foil plate. That card came together super quickly - and has such an elegant feel to it! The original foil I used some soft nontraditional colors -  pinks for the flowers and berries, and then a mix of soft gray and tan for the leaves and background. I didn't use the coordinating dies on this one, just kept it as a panel. Added some gold splatter to both cards, and some coordinating Blush Clear Drops or Sparkle and Shine Ombre glitter drops to finish off. Main sentiments are from the same set I used on all of today's cards, and the secondary sentiments are from the Deck the Halls stamp set and Festive Foliage Tree stamp set. Here is a look at these final cards:
