Hello crafty friends, I'm sharing a project that can be used for lots of occasions not just for the holidays. Today's project features two new die sets. The Snowy Tree dies and the CZ Design Little Winter Banners dies . Super fun and easy card to make. I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then cut a wonky stitched rectangle panel out of fog cardstock and adhered to the card base. I then made a textured panel with an embossing folder I had in my stash from white and blue cardstock. I trimmed each piece to create a snow and sky background. I cut 3 of the snow filled tress out of white cardstock and used distress ink to add color to each one with a blender brush. I added them to the card with foam squares to pop them up. I added a few clear gems for some sparkle. Last, I cut the sentiment out of blue cardstock using the winter banner dies and glitter paper. I hope you enjoyed the project I made for this challenge and got some inspiration. I have p...

Today I am sharing three projects using the beautiful items in the new January Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp called The Small Things. I absolutely love the high quality and gorgeous pattern paper that is included in this kit.  Each card can together very easy. I began with an A2 size card base made with smooth white cardstock. I then used a rectangle die to cut out the panels from the gorgeous pattern paper.  I then cut the snowflake die included in the kit from silver cardstock. I wanted it to look like an ornament so I added some silver twine. I then used a sentiment from the stamp set from the kit and stamped it on a strip of white cardstock in a coordinating color. Her is a look at the entire contents of the kit. I hope you enjoyed the projects I made using some of the amazing items in the Simon Says Stamp January card kit and got some inspiration.

Taking a little break from making holiday cards to create a fun shaker birthday project using the new Sweet Treat Critters from the Simon Says Stamp DieCember release . I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I created a window panel using a small square die and a stitched rectangle die that I cut from more white cardstock. I used liquid glue to add acetate to the back of the 4 square window cuts to create the shaker element. I then added foam strips around each window to pop it up to create room for the iridescent shaker bits. I enclosed each window with the foam strips. I ink bended behind each window with distress inks directly on to the card base. I then stamped the cute images from the stamp set using black ink and colored them in with copic markers. I then stamped the speech bubbles from the stamp set with clear ink and heat set with gold embossing powder. I cut out the sentiment from gold cardstock and matted it with white and adhered under the windo...
