2025 Simon Says Stamp HOLIDAY Dies for Tim Holtz Stamps - Instagram Hop

Image
Today I am participating in an Instagram hop sharing one of the new coordinating dies created by Simon Says Stamp for the Tim Holtz Holiday Things stamp set .  I have used the snowflake image to create a colorful holiday project. I created an A2 size card base from smooth white cardstock. I then cut a stitched rectangle panel from more white cardstock. I used distress ink to stamp a few colorful small snowflakes in a diagonal pattern. Using the MISTI tool I stamped the snowflake image from Tim's stamp set in distress ink. I overlapped the colors of the distress ink when I added it to the snowflake before stamping it on to white cardstock. I then use clear ink and embossing powder to heat set for a bit of shine. I then used the coordinating die for the snowflake to cut out and arrange in a swash pattern over the stamped small snowflakes. I adhered them with 3d foam squares to pop them up. I die cut the sentiment from gold cardstock and added a few flat sequins to finish this project...

2025 Simon Says Stamp HOLIDAY Dies for Tim Holtz Stamps

Image
Today I am sharing one of the new coordinating dies created by Simon Says Stamp for the Tim Holtz Festive Collage stamp set . To see all the dies that will coordinate with the Tim's holiday stamps click HERE . Using the images from the Festive Collage stamp set I created a fun background on a piece of cream cardstock that I cut down using the A2 Marquee rectangle die. I then matted that onto a piece of red cardstock that was trimmed down to leave a bit of a border. I then stamped the poinsettia in a light distress ink on watercolor paper and used a paint brush to add color to the flower and the leaves. I used the new coordinating die to cut out the flower and adhered it to the stamped and matted panel. I then tied twine around the panel and added a tiny tag with the Joy sentiment. I hope you enjoyed the project I have shared today using the new coordinating dies for Tim's Holiday stamps and got some inspiration. I have listed and linked the supplies I used for your convenien...

Charming Berry Branch card

Image
Hello crafty friends! I'm sharing a project featuring the Charming Berry Branch die from the  Simon Says Stamp Sugar & Spice release . I wanted to make a very special holiday card for a dear friend. This is an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then ran a quarter sheet of white cardstock through an embossing folder to add texture to the first layer. The next layer is a panel trimmed down from cream colored cardstock. I used a script background stamp and a blending tool with brown ink to create vintage distressed look. I used a paint brush to add pink, white and brown splatter. I then cut the Charming Berry Branch die out twice from white cardstock and used distress ink to color them. I adhered them to the panel with 3d foam squares to pop them up. I then tied gold twine around the panel and added a stamped and heat embossed sentiment over the top. Last I added a few die cut snowflakes with glitter added with liquid glue. I added that panel to the card ba...

Merry Gingerbread Cookies card

Hello crafty friends, I'm in full swing of creating lots of holiday cards. I am sharing a fun and simple project today.  I have created this cozy cookie card featuring the adorable Simon Says Stamp Gingerbread die. I cut the gingerbread man die out twice from craft cardstock. Using the elements that comes with the die set I cut them from red, white and green cardstock to decorate the cookies. I made a boy and girl just by placing the bow tie on the head. I created an A2 size card base out of white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of white cardstock that I ran through a sweater embossing folder to create a warm texture for my background for the cookies. I distressed the edges of the embossed panel with brown ink. I added a Merry Christmas sentiment using more red and green cardstock. I hope you enjoyed the project I made and got some inspiration for your holiday cardmaking.  I provided affiliate links to all the supplies at no additional cost to you. If you have any quest...
