Reverse Plaid Star - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! A couple days ago I shared a card for New Years using some supplies from Simon Says Stamp. Well, sometimes I have leftovers from cards sitting around, and I hate to waste them. I was cleaning off my desk, and noticed that I had cut the star for the other card rather perfectly out of my A2 panel - initially so that I could make use of the bottom of the panel. But as it turns out, it make a fun window for a card too!


I grabbed some holiday plaid paper (also love stretching holiday supplies to cards past that time of year to get more use out of them!), and tucked that behind, then mounted the negative star with some foam tape over the top. I added an assortment of sentiments from the Pop That Cork reverse sentiment strips, cut out with the EZ Strips dies, and on slightly thicker foam adhesive strips. I finished off with some Dazzling Gems in black, and a little black and white Baker's Twine bow! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Happy New Year 2025 - Simon Says Stamp card

 Good morning everyone and HAPPY New Year! I'm kicking of the year with a card using some supplies from Simon Says Stamp. I broke out the luxe glitter cardstock for this card - and I love the sparkle, so perfect for a new year card!


I started off by using the Luxe Glitter Classic assortment and Luxe Glitter Basic assortment to cut varying sizes of strips, then layer them on a white cardstock panel. I trimmed that panel down, and mounted on a cream cardbase. I added the star over top, die cut with Ornate Star die from white cardstock, and added sentiments from the Pop That Cork reverse sentiments strips, die cut with the coordinating EZ Strips Rectangles wafer die. Finished off with a few Dazzling Gems in Prism for even more sparkle! Here are a few photos of this finished card:
