There is a gorgeous snowflake layering stencil with coordinating dies, an adorable tree die, some twinkle paste - and that's all not to mention the pattern paper, embossing folder, sparkly gems, cardstock, and more!

This card features one of the adorable tree images in the stamp set - I saw it and just thought it would be adorable stamped in a little row. And while it would be super cute in green tones, I thought rainbow would be even more fun! I simply stamped in rainbow order, and in a slightly random pattern, which was easier than trying to perfectly space and align them. I trimmed it down to pop up with foam on my card, added a sentiment underneath, and then to give the look of some frosty snow, I used the Mini Silicone Spatula and Spoon to scoop out little bits of the Twinkle Texture paste and pile it at the base of the trees. I put it on pretty thick, and allowed it lots of time to dry for a fun dimensional embellishment. Finished off with a few Dazzling Prism gems for sparkle! Here are more photos of the finished card:

I love how fun and wintry this card is - and the photos don't do it justice at all with all the sparkle from the twinkle paste! I actually almost planned to just stencil the snowflake from Crystal Snowflake and keep the card one layer, so I stenciled it 3 times on one A2 panel, going off the edges on some places. I used a blend of aqua and blue tones one each snowflake, then die cut each one, and then added the Twinkle paste in the kit on the lighter layer. Once those dried, I popped them up with foam on a white cardbase, added a sentiment from the stamp set, rounded off one corner, and finished off with a sprinkle of some of the gems from the included Dazzling Gems Cool Tones in the kit!

Warm Wishes Interactive Tag - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Today I have a Christmas tag to share, using a couple items from the recent Simon Says Stamp DieCember Release - another couple items I hadn't used yet, and one I particularly wanted to work with before Christmas was over! This tag also has a fun interactive element - scroll down to see the smaller tag tucked in the pocket!

I actually started off with a penl cut with Chunky A2 Scallop Rectangle dies, and stamped some fun images from the Jingle All the Way set. When I was done, I wasn't really happy with the layout, so I decided to trim it out with one of the dies in Layered Scallop Tags, partially die cutting, so it left the scallops at the top. I then cut the tag layer for behind it from Lipstick Red cardstock. Before I adhered it down, I decided it would be fun to make a pocket, and tuck in another little tag - so I adhered that panel with just foam strips on the side and bottom, and then created a smaller tag. I stamped with more images from the stamp set to make it super cute! I added the tag toppers, threaded on some White ribbon and either some Gold Cord or Gold String, tucking the little tag inside the pocket. Finally, I embellished the tree with some Sunbeam Dazzling gems! Here are more photos, showing the interactive element as well:

Nutcracker Christmas Duo - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I've got a few more Christmas projects to share, but hard to believe that Christmas is less than 2 weeks away already! I'm using a new stamp and die set from a recent Simon Says Stamp release that I hadn't had a chance to put to use yet! I have so many fond memories of taking my daughters to watch the nutcracker when they were younger - so when I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to create a card or two with it! I also recently ordered some beautiful pattern paper, and realized they would be a perfect pairing!

Also - did you see the brand new upcoming FREE class for Simon Says Stamp with Jennifer McGuire? There is a fabulously priced kit available HERE as well if you want to use the same supplies as Heidi and Jennifer will be using!

I started off by stamping in black and clear heat embossing the images from Nutcracker Christmas on panels of white cardstock. I stamped them slightly off the corner of the A2 panels, the used Basic Circles die to cut around to create partial circles. I cut another size up from Black cardstock to create a mat behind the image, and used a pink Copic marker to add just a *touch* of pink to their cheeks. I used a couple panels of pattern paper from the pretty Ink Drops Festive 6x6 paper pad, trimming slightly smaller than my cardfront, and offsetting to leave a small white border around two of the edges. I popped my partial circles up with foam adhesive, added stamped and die cut sentiments, and finished off with some Dazzling gems in Mandarin and Sprout for some sparkle!

Vintage Christmas Card Duo - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I'm still squeezing in a few more Christmas cards, and these ones using a fun set from a recent Simon Says Stamp release are giving me such fun vintage feelings!

I stamped out all the fun layered images from Warmth and Wonder, and die cut with the coordinating dies - I love all the possibilities with these layers! Then I arranged everything on panels cut with Wonky Rectangles, using a mix of foam and liquid adhesive. I then mounted those on Ivory cardbase, adding a bit of Lawn Fawn white twine on each one. I added sentiments from Holiday Duo and Holiday Trio 1 dies, as well as secondary sentiments from Peacebird, and finished off with a few Dazzling Gold gems. Here are more photos of these cards:

Just Sayin' Bird Shaker Card - Simon Says Stamp DieCember 2025 Release

Hello! I'm still going strong sharing projects with the NEW DieCember Release from Simon Says Stamp - and today is another die cutting focused card! It's also a shaker, just to bump the fun up another notch! :)

I die cut the cute little Classic Leaf Ring once each from Green Apple and Green Leaf cardstocks, layering them together offset for a fuller wreath shape. I also die cut the sweet little Flourish Bird from Audrey Blue and Peacock Teal cardstock, then assembled it and nestled it into that little wreath - it's so cute together! I created a shaker with the new Nested Stitched Ovals die, and filled it with the two new embellishment mixes - Moonlit Snow and Blue Frost, and backed it with some cardstock from the convenient new Card Fronts 2 pack. Sentiments are from the Reverse Just Sayin' Sentiment Strips, cut with the Slanted Rectangles EZ Strips die. Finally, that wreath felt like it needed a sweet little bow, so I pulled out the previously released Pretty Bows 2 die and some Ivory glitter cardstock, and then added a single Surf Dazzling Gem for the center. Here is a better look at this fun finished card:
