Simon Says: Add A Sentiment!

Hello crafty friends, it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! It's the last Challenge of 2025 and will last for two weeks! Have a very Happy and Healthy Holiday Season and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

This week Simon Says: Add a Sentiment and we are featuring always amazing Memory Box products   - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  

I just love this adorable Memory Box Owl, she will be my Mom's Christmas card! I just love to use felt specifically for Christmas projects and I decided to make her accessories pink mixed with some red accents. I die cut my elements from both 80 lbs Neena Solar White (not too thick just enough to support the felt) and my felt pieces.

I put all of my pieces together and decided upon this Spellbinders embossing folder, I liked the circular area without embossing for my owl. Once embossed, I felt like I needed a little something more so I die cut a few of these amazing Simon Says Stamp Pine Sprigs from the last DieCember release.

I added the springs and Owl to the card base and took a sentiment from my favourite stamp set of this season by CZ Design and Simon Says Stamp. I white embossed and die cut the sentiment and added it to the card.

To finish off, I die cut my Poinsettia from an older Memory Box die set to add to her hat!

I could spend all of my time making gift tags, particularly Christmas tags. This paper pack by Paper Rose is gorgeous. Green and white foil and this piece also had a beautiful punch of red with the berries. I die cut my base from the foil card stock and added a die cut gold frame on top. I also added a white die cut piece to the back to write my message to the recipient.

I die cut what I turned into Holly and some red glitter berries to match the background panel. Added it to my tag then some white gell pen detail. I picked a sentiment from the Tim Holtz Christmas 2023 sticker book, it fit the length of the bottom frame perfectly. To finish off, some red ribbon from my stash!

Simon Says: Sparkle & Shine

Hello crafty friends, it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! 

This week Simon Says: Sparkle and Shine and we are featuring Concord & 9th products  - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  

This layering stencil is amazing and making this card was super simple. I ink blended my Evergreen Bough for the background, then my leaves and finally some Tonic red glitter paste for the berries. I also added some glitter to the leaves and set the panel aside to dry.

I picked this amazing Alex Siberia Holly Jolly sentiment and die cut it from Red and Sugar Crystal Tonic glitter paper. I added it to the panel using foam tape and to finish off, the secondary sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Holly Jolly clear stamp and die set.

This one was a lot of die cutting but the panel itself is a fantastic guide for the positioning of the dies. I used a mix of card stock and glitter card stock. For my sentiment I used the Simon Says Stamp EZ Strips Christmas - French cards are always good for me to have on-hand!

Tags are my favourite! Christmas tags top the list and I am knee deep in holiday prep. I used a mix of Simon Says Stamp products for these starting with the new Magical Mistletoe wafer dies. I die cut my pieces and set them aside. I die cut my tags and used an older 3D embossing folder. I lightly blended some White Unicorn Ink on top of the embossed areas.

I added my Mistletoe dies on top with some glitter on select leaves. Embossed my sentiment and used the accompanying die and added them to my tags with foam tape. To finish off, some Emerald Clear Drops and a mix of ribbon and twine!

Honeybee Stamps Hot Chocolate and Gingerbread!

Hello crafty friends! I have been posting fewer projects this year, my work has me a little busy and has for the last number of years. I am hopeful that things will change for the better for 2026. I miss my crafty space.

Today I am sharing this fun card using a mix of Honeybee Stamps and Altenew products.

I stamped and coloured my gingerbread/hot chocolate using my Polychromos pencils (I have not used them in a while) on Kraft card stock. I die cut my image and set it aside to work on my panel. I took a piece of Kraft A2 sized card stock and used this fantastic Altenew embossing folder (products listed and linked below).

I glued my gingerbread man using foam tape on an angle. Stamped and added my sentiment from the same stamp set. I added glitter to the top of my image and some white gel pen detail. I decided to cut some strips of card stock to add to the top and bottom to ground the image. To finish off red clear drops!

I think making Christmas gift tags is my favourite kind of craft project. These were quick and fun to put together. I die cut all of my elements (for the front and back to make them more secure). I glued all of my elements together on top of the tag.

I then added the red "ribbon" and gold bell to the side of my tags. I used my hole-punch and added some red twine to all four tags!

I love these Bird Crazy products by Tim Holtz, I never tire of using them. I started by cutting my green panel and ink blending with my stencil in select spots. I then stamped, coloured and die cut my bird and accessories.

I die cut my Happy and Birthday sentiments and added them to the panel using a mix of glue and foam tape. 

I then added my bird and accessories also using foam tape. I then added white gel pen detail a little everywhere and finished off with some Pink Fresh brown pearls!
