Christmas Snowglobe Gift Card Holder - Simon Says Stamp/Art Impressions Exclusive

Hello! I'm stopping by to share a project using a DARLING new EXCLUSIVE die set from Art Impressions, available only at Simon Says Stamp. I paired it with some various cardstock, vellum, glitter paper, and gems from Simon Says Stamp. I love this bright and festive color combo with lots of sparkle! This design coordinates perfectly with the Envelope Gift Card holder, or can be used on a card or as a tag or ornament. They are available together as a bundle HERE as well!

I had fun cutting all the layers of this in various Simon Says Stamp cardstock - I used Doll Pink, Schoolhouse Red, Audrey Blue, Green Apple, Green Leaf, Orange Peel, and Black. I cut the background from Ivory glitter paper, the base of the snowglobe from Honey Gold cardstock, the snowdrifts from vellum, and the snowman and snowflakes from white cardstock. I layered everything together with liquid glue and foam adhesive for fun dimension. These colors seriously make me so happy! I added a few Dazzling clear gems to the centers of the snowflakes to finish off. I also die cut the matching Envelope Gift card holder from white cardstock, but didn't adhere them together for photos - I wanted to show how perfectly the sizes worked together. You could even use temporary adhesive, and add a string to the top to make it an ornament! Here are more photos of the finished project:

Bright Holiday Greetings - Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit

 Hello! I'm popping in to share my first card using the newest December 2025 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Bright Christmas! This month's kit is bright, festive, and fun! The included stamp set a couple of fun scene images - and lots of additional bits to mix and match in (there is a matching die set available HERE as well), and then there is an ADORABLE little coordinating stencil as well! There is paste to use with the stencil, some new gold splatter, and that's all not to mention the pattern paper, stickers, cardstock, and more!

This first card, I wanted to use that darling deer image from the stamp set in the kit, and thought it would be fun to do some mixed color stamping in some fun festive colors. I used my MISTI to line the image up on my white cardstock panel, then inked up part of the stamp for each color, letting the layers overlap. I used Cadette, Amethyst, and Peony inks. I then stamped the bow, sentiments, and some tiny snowflakes in crisp black ink, and added a bit of the Gold Splatter in the kit over the entire panel. While that dried, I trimmed a piece of the pattern paper in the kit to slightly larger than the stamped panel. I adhered that to my cardbase at an offset angle, trimming off any overhang that was left. Finally, I adhered that front panel with foam adhesive, and then embellished with a few Dazzling gems in Prism. Here are more photos of this bright and fun card:

Holly Jolly Poinsettia Frame - Simon Says Stamp And Everything Nice Release

Good morning! I'm popping in again this week, this time with a card using more of the And Everything Nice Release from Simon Says Stamp! I love the monochromatic color scheme on this card, and who doesn't love a Christmas card that has this much pink on it? Okay...I realize there are probably some people that wouldn't...but you could use any monochromatic color scheme for this design and it would be fun! :) 

I started off this card by using the Beautiful Poinsettia Frame embossing folder on Cotton Candy cardstock. I misted with water before running it through my machine, to get a nice deep impression. Once it dried, I turned over to the negative space, and used the new Salmon ink pad direct to paper, and swiped it across the design several times. It inked up the higher areas and details, and left the main areas of debossed florals a lighter shade. Such a pretty effect! I then stamped and layered up the new Holly Jolly layering stamp set with the new ink family of Shell, Salmon, and Coral, then die cut with the coordinating dies, also cutting an additional unstamped layer from Ivory glitter cardstock to add an extra shadow effect behind. I die cut some frames with the new Frames die from more Ivory glitter cardstock, as well as those adorable little hearts, and then assembled all the layers! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Wrapped with Love Limited Edition Holiday Gift Giving Kit - Simon Says Stamp

 Hello! Today I've got a few cards to share with you using a BRAND new LIMITED edition holiday gift giving kit from Simon Says Stamp! While this kit is definitely geared towards gift packaging and tags (and I have a few tags to share below as well), I also couldn't resist making a set of cards witht he lovely pattern paper in the kit! Every beautifully packaged gift needs a card as well, don't you think?

These first cards are pretty much made up of lots of the pattern paper in the kit. The new Collaging Tile die is actually sized perfectly to fit some of the square elements in the pattern paper - so I used it to die cut out the center pieces on these cards, then trimmed other paper to mat behind or fit on my cardbases. I added some of the pretty red May Arts ribbon and Gold metallic string to embellish, and foam adhesive to pop the front panel up for dimension. Keep scrolling to see the tags I created - but here is a closer look at these cards:

Next up - more of that pattern paper, but this time mixed with a bit of the included stamp set! For these, I used the Collaging Tile die again, but a smaller one to cut out the main center pieces, then trimmed varying sizes of pattern paper to adhere behind it, trimming off anything that hung off the edge of the tag. I used the branch die from the Wrapped with Love stamp set with Pine ink, and stamped a bit of a border around the edges. For the left card, I kept the color more bold, and the right card I used more second generation stamping for a softer effect. I couldn't decide which style I liked better, so I did one of each! I added more of that red ribbon at the top, stapled in place, then embellished with Dazzling Clear gems. Finally, I applied some Glossy Accents in select areas, and sprinkled on the magical Rock Candy Chunky Glitter for lots of sparkle! I have one more set of tags below - but here is a better look at these tags and their sparkle:

These final tags are tiny and cute! I used the American Crafts Green Tags with sparkly twine, and stamped the floral image from the Wrapped with Love stamp set around the edges, and added some white splatter. I used a couple of the embossed and die cut Wrapped Up embossing folder pieces, cut from white cardstock, and with a bit of Apple ink blended over the top, and popped those up with foam, then added another sentiment from the stamp set. On the reverse (see the next photo), I stamped an additional sentiment and tiny bow image! Here are more photos of these finished tags:
