Sparkly Winter Tags - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Tim Holtz exclusive

Hello! Today I've got some projects using some BRAND NEW products for STAMPtember at Simon Says Stamp, these ones designed by Tim Holtz! There are also some surprises that were just announced with these products - including a free class from Tim Holtz, and a class bundle with these sets and lots more. I received the products early, and had so much fun creating these tags to share with you today!

I created a total of 4 tags using the Festive Watercolor stamp and die set, paired with Festive Tags dies. I started off by stamping lots of the images from Festive Watercolor using a mix of Lumberjack Plaid, Rustic Wilderness, and Scorched Timber distress inks on watercolor paper. Some of them I lightly misted with water before stamping, some after stamping, and some I inked with more than one color. Once I had a whole bunch of them created, I die cut them with the coordinating dies, then it was time to add sparkle. I added some Glossy Accent blobs randomly to each piece, then smooshed them into a little pile of Mica Flakes several times, which spread the glossy accents, and adhered the mica flakes all at the same time! Great messy fun - haha! While those dried, I die cut my Festive Tags each once from watercolor paper and white cardstock. I love the embossed edge each of these dies gives - so incredibly fun! The white cardstock ones I used my Distress Embossing dabber on one side, then embossed with Princess Gold embossing powder. The watercolor ones I did some ink smooshing with Lumberjack Plaid and Rustic Wilderness inks for a watercolor background. I die cut the tag toppers from Ivory Glitter cardstock, stamped and die cut my sentiments from Festive Sentiments, and then assembled the layers, using foam adhesive for the words, and liquid glue for all the greenery pieces. Finished off with some Ivory Jute String at the top, and a few Dazzling Clear Gems for extra sparkle! Here is a closer look at all of these tags:

Snow Thankful - Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit

Good evening! I'm stopping by to share my first card created with the BRAND NEW January Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Snowflake Builder! This kit is SOOO wintry and fun - the included large stamp set by the same name is so unique, the pattern paper is GORGEOUS, the sweet Mini Snowflake Mandala die is lovely - not to mention Mica Flakes, Collage Medium, Alcohol Ink, Glitter Cardstock, Envelopes, and more!

Last month I decided to try filming a video for my cards using the monthly card kits - I had such a great response, that I thought I may go ahead and do it again this month, and perhaps continue as time allows. I've posted the video for this card on my YouTube channel HERE, and also below so you can watch either place you prefer. :)

Here is the video sharing how I put this card together using this month's kit:

I love the beautiful Mini Snowflake Mandala die - so pretty and detailed and fun to use! I die cut 3 of them to use on this card.

I also fell in love with some of the pattern paper from this kit - I added some of the Mica Flakes from the kit to the edges of the panel for a fun bit of frosty sparkle!

The sentiment is from the Snowflake Builder Stamp Set - heat embossed on a bit of Slate cardstock.
