Hey Girl - Simon Says Stamp Heart to Heart Release

 Good morning! I'm still sharing more cards with the amazing Heart to Heart Release from Simon Says Stamp! I tried something new on this card with the sentiment, and I love the finished effect!

To start off, I used the new Wirework Hearts embossing folder on some Concord and 9th cardstock - and WOW! This folder is so fun - I love the incredibly deep impression it gives, and it's such a fun design as well! Next, I die cut the new Fancy Hey Girl die, and used the exact same shade of cardstock for the shadow layer as the embossed panel. I love how when layered together, the shadow layer kind of blends into the background, but is also a smooth surface to make the white die cut sentiment pop just right! Before adhering the layers together with foam adhesive, I wrapped around the tied a bow with some Lawn Fawn Twine. I added a supporting sentiment from Reverse Love EZ Strip sentiment strips, and a few Honey Bee pearls to finish it off! Here are more photos of the finished card:

Felt Toaster Pastry card - Simon Says Stamp Heart to Heart Release

Good morning! I've got another card to share today using the newest Heart to Heart Release from Simon Says Stamp! I tell you what - cutting dies with felt is SOOO much fun! I mean, a felt toaster pastry?!? Is there anything cuter?!? Also, did you know that putting glitter drops on felt is amazing as well?

I had recently picked up some Benzie Designs Felt in the Be Mine color pack, and really wanted to put it to use on something. I spotted the Toaster Pastry die, and thought it was perfect for it! I'm going to date myself a bit, but does anyone else remember flannel graph stories when you were a kid? Yeah, before I glued it together, I was almost tempted to leave the pieces separate to use that way - haha! I used some Altenew glitter cardstock to cut the longer squiggly lines, and tucked those behind the toaster pastry that I adhered at an angle, then trimmed all the extra overhanging pieces off. I used some Nuvo Glitter drops on the hearts and squiggle of frosting on the toaster pastry for extra sparkly fun! I added a sentiment from Make My Heart Flutter stamp set, a sprinkle of Trinity Clear Twinkle Rhinestones, rounded off one corner, and mounted the panel on a cardbase created with Seafoam cardstock! Here is a closer look at the finished project:

The included stamp set has some amazing sentiments that are a perfect fit for all the window options (there is a matching die set available HERE as well).

For this card, I really wanted to use that one really beautiful piece of pattern paper - I mean, isn't it pretty?!? I adhered it at an angle on a white cardbase, and trimmed the excess off the top and sides. For the sentiments, I really wanted to feature that amazing Cello Sticker Tape, but because it was shiny, I knew it would be tricky to stamp on it. However, it is super transparent, so I stamped on white cardstock, then just popped one of the stickers over the top of each sentiment! Nice and easy to trim with my paper trimmer and leave a nice simple border around it. I adhered those, and then die cut some hearts with the Artful Palette wafer dies and the reverse side of that same pattern paper. Finished off with a few Clear Dazzling gems!

Beautiful Moments - Simon Says Stamp February 2026 Card Kit

Hello! My card kit arrived a bit late this month, so I'm finally popping in to share my first card using the newest February 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Be Your Beautiful Self! This month's kit has some of the most fun and innovative products in it - I feel like I could play endlessly with them! The star of this kit is the Artful Palette layering templates and coordinating dies - so many possibilities! They work amazingly with the included Tim Holtz Curated Palette collection of papers. The included stamp set has some amazing sentiments that are a perfect fit for all the window options (there is a matching die set available HERE as well).

Funny story on this card - I was trying to create a shaker card, but was watching my friend Lea on YouTube live, and got distracted, accidentally putting the pattern paper directly on my window, instead of the acetate. Whoops! I decided to just go with it, and I really like how the card turned out anyway! I used one of the Artful Palette layering templates on a piece of white cardstock as a template to layer over the dies in a perfect pattern, then ran it through my die cut machine. I used one of the lovely pattern papers to back it, and (accidentally) adhered it directly behind the window. I stamped, clear heat embossed, and die cut a sentiment from the Be Your Beautiful Self set, and popped that up with foam, placing it offset of the windows for interest. Finished off with a little white twine bow, and a good sprinkle of Clear Dazzling Gems! Here are more photos of the finished card:

Wedding Thank You Cards - Simon Says Stamp

Hello! In the final wedding preparations for my daughter last week, she needed some thank you cards to hand out to the many people who came alongside to help make her day special. So, I broke out some supplies from Simon Says Stamp - and started working with her input on the design. I ended up making a total of 16 of these to help supplement some of the ones I already had on hand. I love how soft and pretty they turned out - and how well the design worked to create multiples of them!

I started off by grabbing a floral image from Wild and Free Flowers, and stamping it on white cardbases using Ballerina ink for a soft background. I stamped and die cut the big thank you from With Thanks, and popped it up with foam adhesive strips, so there was just a touch of dimension on these cards. I cut some varying width strips of Altenew Moonstone glitter cardstock, and adhered those in a diagonal line in the top left corner, using liquid glue, and letting dry before trimming off the overhang. Finished off by rounding off one corner on each card, and adding a few Cottontail Embellishment flat sequins around the sentiment! Here are more photos of these finished cards:

Love You Always Home Decor - Simon Says Stamp Heart to Heart Release

 Good morning! I'm dropping by today to share a project using the NEW Heart to Heart Release from Simon Says Stamp! This one was a bit of a different project - not a card! And, it even lights up! As Heidi said when she shared this project on the release live, I may have had wedding on my mind - haha!

I started off with a piece of white cardstock die cut with one of the Chunky Scalloped Ovals dies, which I then ran through the Fancy Rose Bouquet embossing folder - I did it in this order, so I wouldn't smoosh out the details of the embossing by die cutting the panel later. I then cut a larger one of the ovals from Spellbinders Bellini cardstock, and layered them together. I added a sentiment from Loving You Bouquet, stamped and die cut, and also a few Dazzling Gold gems. I used a Tim Holtz Reliquary Dome to build my table decor. I also tucked in some Clear Tiny lights in the back, leaving the cord carefully coming out the back to attach on the backside of the project so I could turn the lights on and off. I had a bit of tulle in my stash, so I added that looped into a bow on the bottom to fill that space and cover up the bottom of the ovals that I trimmed off to fit. It gives the illusion of those panels not being cut off that way! And there you have it - a fun little nightlight or table decor! Here are more photos of the finished project:

Together is my Favorite - Simon Says Stamp Heart to Heart Release

 Good morning! I'm dropping by today to share another card using the NEW Heart to Heart Release from Simon Says Stamp! This one is a bit more clean and simple - and with a non-traditional color combination!

I wanted to use the lovely new inks in the release - Flax, Straw, and Wheat - and was playing with colors and sort of swiped them on a panel of cardstock layered up a bit to get a feel for them. I really liked that random swatch - so I thought I'd just try to use it on my card! This adorable image from the new Love is in the Air stamp set was a PERFECT fit! I added a sentiment underneath from another new set - Sweet Friendship. I trimmed that panel a bit to even it up, then mounted with foam on a white cardbase. Finished off with a bit of sparkly Nuvo drops in blizzard, and a few Dazzling Gems in Butter for a touch of coordinating sparkle! Here are more photos of this finished card:
