I'm so happy to be participating in day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp And Everything Nice Blog Hop . This post will have lots of inspiration, giveaways and a special offer for this blog hop. Don't miss this special offer!👇👇 I am sharing the gorgeous new Poinsettia Cover die . Perfect for mass producing lots of amazing holiday cards! This card came together so easy! I began with an A2 size card base made from cream cardstock. I then used the Poinsettia Cover die to cut it out of white, green, red and gold cardstock. I used a finder dauber to ink blend the edges of the petals and leaves.  I used stencils and stamps to add a pattern to each of the leaves and petals. I then added adhesive to the cover of the card base and paper pieced all of the elements together. I the cut out the sentiment die from more cream and gold cardstock. Simon is giving away a $25 shopping spree to a lucky winner! The winner will be picked from the comments left along the hop and announced Wednesday, Novem...

It's release day! I am sharing a project featuring the CZ Design Tree Plate cover die from the new  Simon Says Stamp And Everything Nice new release. I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. Using several sheets of colored cardstock and pattern paper I cut out trees using the new Tree Plate die.  I arranged the tree images on an embossed panel of white cardstock that I mounted on a piece of gold cardstock. I also added gold stars on top of each tree and cut out the Peace die from gold cardstock for extra shine. I hope you enjoyed the project I made and got some inspiration.  I provided affiliate links to all the supplies at no additional cost to you. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. I love to hear from you! Thank you for stopping by and happy release day!! Supplies:

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...

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.
