Use Your Wings - Tim Holtz June coordinating die release

 Hello! Today I'm popping in with a layered monochromatic card to celebrate the June 2026 installment of Tim Holtz coordinating dies that released today from Simon Says Stamp! These die sets coordinate with previously released stamp sets, and add an entire new level of versatility to these sets - and I'm loving it! I used 3 of the new die sets to create this card - keep reading to find out more!

I started off by stamping several of the greenery images from Floral Elements, a couple of the images from Moth Study, and a sentiment from Tiny Text on Sage cardstock. I stamped with white pigment ink, then heat embossed with white embossing powder to get a nice opaque and detailed image for all of those. Then I die cut each of them out with the new coordinating Floral Elements dies, Moth Study dies, and Tiny Text dies. I grabbed a few of the florals from Floral Elements stamp set and arranged those and stamped on another panel of Sage cardstock, this time just in white pigment ink with no heat embossing for some varying texture. I then popped all those die cut images on the cardfront, trimming off any excess on the edges. Finished off with a tiny bow from Lawn Fawn white twine tied on one of the stems! I kind of wanted to add bling or gems, but every time I tried, it just took away from the organic and elegant feel of this card. So I resisted, and kept it as is! Here is a closer look at the dimension and detail on this card:

Happy Wedding Day - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Good morning! I'm back today to a wedding theme card using the NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release! This one has a bit of traditional Valentine's Day colors, but I think it's kind of a bold and fun take on a wedding card - and would be easy to switch up just by some simple color changes!

I started off by cutting the new Drawn Hearts cover die from white cardstock, and backing it with some bright and happy Lipstick Red cardstock. I created a window from white cardstock with a Stitched Rectangle die, then created a perfectly sized frame with the same die and the next size up from Honey Gold cardstock. Sentiment is the new Timeless Love die, cut from more Honey Gold and black cardstock for the shadow layer, then I added secondary sentiments from the new Reverse Traditional Wedding EZ Strips sentiment strips. I tucked those under the edge of the frame, and added a tiny bit of foam adhesive on the outer edges for some fun dimension! Here are some more photos of this finished card:

God is our Refuge Wall Art - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Good morning! I'm back today to share a wall decor project using the NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release! I also have recently figured out a fun way to incorporate felt into projects while also making it a bit more stable!

I started off by die cutting the beautiful Dewpierce Butterfly a couple times from Benzie Lupine Fields felt, and also from white cardstock, then glued them together. The white cardstock provides the stability, and the felt provides the fun texture! I used black cardstock for the center of the butterflies. I used a Wood Sign that Simon Says Stamp carries, and added a sentiment from Blessed and Floral Word Builder Sentiments, heat embossing the smaller one and hand trimming into a banner. A few coordinating Lilac and Butter Dazzling gems are the finishing touch! Here are more photos of the finished projects:

So Very Loved - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Good morning! I had a tiny bit of leftover die cut pieces from a card I shared a couple days ago, so I had to put them to use and create another cute little strawberry card using the NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release! This is my 3rd card using this set, and I still can't get enough!

As I mentioned above, I still had one little set of the Strawberry Pint dies from the previous card I posted a few days ago (you can see it HERE). For those cards, I die cut using Lipstick, Green Apple, Green Leaf, Honey, and white cardstocks, then ink blended a bit of Brick ink on the red layer of the strawberries, a bit of Kale on the large leaves, and a bit of Buttercream ink on the white flowers. I pulled out some fun Simple Stories Pink Lemonade pattern paper and cut it with one of the new Rounded Rectangles dies to create a fun coordinating background, then die cut a Stitched Rectangle from Starlight cardstock - the perfect soft gray tone. I grabbed a die cut banner from EZ Strips XL Banners (sometimes I cut them on their own to use with other sentiments or to tuck into a card like this), and used one side of it to arrange my little berry cluster. I added sentiments stamped and die cut with Keep Palm, and a little sprinkle of Sprout Dazzling Gems to finish this simple little card off! Here is a closer look:

God Knows and Will Comfort - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Good morning! I'm here today with a duo of cards using some of the NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release! I had fun using the same design, and just reversing the backgrounds to get a different look. I can't decide which one I like best!

I started off by die cutting and assembling the Luna Flower twice from Cornflower, Sage, Ivory, and Honey Gold cardstock. I then used the new Elongated Hexagons dies to create a window in a panel of Soft Navy cardstock, and one in white cardstock, then reversed the color behind it, popping it up with foam adhesive. I tucked the flower in, and then added a sentiment from Blessed that has newly released coordinating dies! I used some of the gorgeous new Dreamy Blossoms embellishment mix (SOOOO fun and dimensional!) and added a few Dazzling Clear gems to add a little extra sparkle! Here are more photos of the finished set:

Thanks Sweet Friend - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Good morning! I couldn't get enough of the sweet strawberry die in the BRAND NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release - so I'm back today with another card, this time featuring a bit of ink blending on the die cut pieces - I love how it makes them come alive even more! And just like butterflies, I can't get enough strawberries!!!

The Strawberry Pint die is just adorable no matter how you use it - but adding a touch of ink blending just makes it come alive! I die cut using Lipstick, Green Apple, Green Leaf, Honey, and white cardstocks, then ink blended a bit of Brick ink on the red layer of the strawberries, a bit of Kale on the large leaves, and a bit of Buttercream ink on the white flowers. I used a Cream cardbase, then cut a white frame with Sparkler Scallop Frames and a couple smaller layers of Apricot with the same die. I arranged little strawberry clusters on those small layers, then die cut the Sweet word die from that same lipstick cardstock, added a thanks from Small Thanks, and the friend word from For the Birds to build my own custom sentiment. I tied a pretty bow of May Arts Faux Silk white ribbon around, and added a sprinkle of Clear Dazzling gems to finish them off! Here are more photos of all that summery sweetness:

Enjoy the Ride Graduation - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

 Good morning! I'm back today to share yet another card using the BRAND NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release! This one was a fun twist on a graduation card that I thought was kind of cute, and a little less traditional!

I started off by stamping the sweet little horse from Farm Sweet Farm on Rainbow Splash Caramel cardstock, and heat embossing it in white. I did the same with the grad hat from Graduation Greetings, but used black cardstock. I adhered them together, and mounted onto a die cut Stitched Circle, then stamped and added the sentiment as well. I used Fog cardstock to create a cardbase, then added thin strips of black cardstock across the cardfront before adhering the circle over top. Finished off with a frame created by die cutting with two sizes of A2 Notched Rectangles, then a sprinkle of Black Dazzling Gems to finish off the look! Here is a closer look at the finished card:
