Simon Says Stamp DieCember® Blog Hop - Day 1

I'm so happy to be participating in day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp DieCember blog hop. This post will have lots of inspiration, giveaways and a special offer for this blog hop. 
This first project is a shaker holiday card featuring the Jolly Snowmen Embossing Folder. I cut the three sonowmen using the dies that are included with the embossing folder. I colored them with copics and added them to the inside of the Antique Snowglobe emboss and cut die to create this cute scene. I framed it using the Eyelet Layer Frames colored with distress ink. Last, I added the Warm Wishes Medley die cut from white cardstock.
I used the Love Celebration Plate die to create this next project. I die cut the plate several times from colored cardstock and once from white cardstock. I paper pieced the elements from the colored cardstock cuts on to the white cut. I tied some gold twine at the top of the card and added the CZ Designs Little Winter Banner dies cut from gold cardstock.
The last project is actually made from all the scraps from the previous card. Its amazing that I was able to make three more cards with the left over pieces! I added the CZ Designs Sending Warm Hugs die as the sentiment to each of the cards with a bow cut from silver glitter cardstock for a bit of shine.
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, December 10th on the Simon blog. Each comment will be an entry into the drawing. 👉PLEASE NOTE: If you want to leave a comment on this post, make sure you include your name so we can reach you if you are selected for the giveaway!  Make sure you check out day 2 of the hop.  For tons more inspiration visit the DieCember® Gallerie.

    Who doesn't love a snow globe ? I certainly do, be they one made of paper or one made of glass, filled with glittery snow begging to be shook. Your card reflects those feelings of a vintage snow globe, the snow men are right at home inside the globe as one would expect to find in a real snow globe sitting on a table . I can't imagine anyone that wouldn't appreciate to get a card sending them "warm winter hugs" in the middle of winter.
