Festive Holiday Hymns - Tim Holtz October coordinating die release

Hello! I'm dropping in today to share another card using one of the dies sets that are featured as part of the new sets available exclusively at Simon Says Stamp to coordinate with older Tim Holtz stamp sets! These new dies are a game changer if you love these rubber stamp sets, and it has been so fun to see SSS gradually roll these out. I love the detail you can achieve with coordinating dies, versus fussy cutting - not to mention how much easier it is! The Tiny Text die released earlier this year, but we wanted to call attention to it, since it coordinates with the Tiny Text Christmas stamp, and this last release was focusing on all things Christmas! This die is one of my very favorites - I use it for tons of other sentiments. There are so many options, that I'm easily able to find one to fit all those slim sentiments in various stamp sets! And how fun it is it to use LOTS of them all on one card?!?

For this card, I chose lots of sentiments from the Tiny Text Christmas set, that were lines from favorite Christmas hymns and songs. I stamped them all out, then die cut with the corresponding Tiny Text die that matched up with each one. For the background, I pulled out the Department Store stamp set (which now also has a coordinating die available), and used the music note set to stamp a subtle background with Brick ink on Lipstick cardstock for a tone on tone effect. I matted that panel with some gold glitter cardstock, then added an additional strip of that same gold glitter to the center of the card, hand trimmed to a banner shape. I popped that up with foam adhesive, then glued each of the sentiment banners over top in a wonky pattern with a bit of liquid glue. Finishing touch was a few Pinkfresh Gold Glitter Drops tucked around in little clusters of 3 for extra sparkle! Here's a closer look at the finished card:
