Holiday Cheer - Simon Says Stamp November Card Kit

 Hello! I'm popping in to share my first card using the newest November 2024 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Christmas Cheer! This month's kit has a fun leafy feel to 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 are some scene building punch out elements, gorgeous pattern paper, a fun embossing folder, specialty paper, some fun bakers twine...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!

I had fun featuring the adorable pattern paper with the sweet stamp set! I love layering up pattern papers, and these were perfect for this. They also paired so well with a couple images from the stamp set. I stamped those on white cardstock die cut with Stitched Circles die, and then trimmed off one side of them before blending a bit of Buttercream ink on the edges to give it a hint of a vintage feel to match the pattern papers a bit better. I also added soem of the fun Baker's twine from the kit on each one, and a sweet little sentiment. A few tiny red gems help finish these cards off! Here are more photos and a closer look at each one:

I'm sharing a sweet trio of cards today featuring a fabulous new sentiment set from the release paired up with a couple of previously released items!

For these cards, I used the new Holiday Messages stamp set. I stamped the larger word in different shades of Pawsitively Saturated inks, but stamped them off once on scrap paper before stamping on the cardbases - this gave a soft, almost watercolored effect that was super fun! I stamped the secondary sentiments underneath in crisp black to set them off nicely. I then rested a tiny die cut house on top of each sentiment, mixing and matching the colors with the sentiment. I used Holiday Color Blend cardstock to cut out a house from Winter Village dies, and a tiny heart from Mini Hearts die set. I also added some sparkly clear Nuvo drops over the hearts. Finished off by rounding one corner, and adding a fun detail with an image from Ornate Borders and Edges stamp set, stamped in the same color and same way as the large sentiments. A few Clear Pawsitively Dazzling gems finish them off! Here are more photos and close ups of these finished cards:

I also posted these cards a couple days ago using this release - you can check them out HERE if you are looking for more inspiration:

Joyeux Noel - Simon Says Stamp Sweet Wishes Release

Good morning! Dropping by this morning with a couple cards using items from the BRAND NEW Sweet Wishes release from Simon Says Stamp! Lots of fun things in this release - and I'll be joining the blog hop later this week as well. But wanted to hop on and share something sooner this month!

These cards feature the fun Tin Tile foil transfer sheets. Since they are toner based, they can also be hot foiled, and I learned some time ago that I could use the Pinkfresh Solid Hot Foil plate to foil them. Still using toner foil of course, but I don't need a laminator this way! I foiled one of each version in the set, then I added sentiments from the new Joyeux Noel die, swapping white on black or black on white for each card. I added a Faux Silk white ribbon bow, and a few Pawsitively Dazzling gems in the new Black color, or previously released Clear. Here are more photos of these finished cards:

We also have TWO freebie options available for this release! You can choose either a FREE Wildflower Slimline stamp set OR a Pinkfresh branded Frosted Glass Spray bottle with any $50 order!

As usual - I have a few cards to share today with the new release!

First up, I have this set of two cards featuring the new Framed Art set, paired with a couple new Essential Frame dies that are part of the release! The new Dotted Fancy Frames and Fancy Rectangle Frames dies are so fun and versatile, and paired great with the Framed Art set! I mixed in some colored cardstock, as well as glitter cardstock to build my art pieces, and used Dotted Chevron coverplate on my ivory cardbase. A few clear drops finish this one off!

Next up - moving from modern and bold, to soft and romantic!

For this card, I used the new Kindness in Bloom set, which has a great modern feeling to it! I used that Fancy Rectangle Frame again on this one, and added a few floral pieces from the Garden Party dies cut from more glitter cardstock. I also added some banners for the sentiment from Basic Banners, and used that same Dotted Chevron coverplate die on the cardbase. A few of the new Iridescent Dew Drops finish this card off!

And we all need a good set that can be used for masculine cards, am I right?

I absolutely love the Mountains stencil set, as well as the trees stencil and die set. I'm an outdoor woods girls - so these two sets just make me so happy! I did this one in all masculine colors of blues and greens - and this set is PERFECT for using the newer large blending brushes - makes it so fast! A few Enchanted Forest Ombre Glitter drops finish this card off!

Finally, a soft rainbow for this card!

This card features the new Blooming Arch set. I blended it in soft rainbow tones top to bottom, then mounted it with a million tiny pieces of foam adhesive (because I'm crazy - haha!). I used an ivory cardbase, and then tucked some more of those Garden Party die cut pieces, this time from a mix of Ivory glitter cardstock and white cardstock. I added a few Clear Drops to embellish this one!
