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!

Simon Says: Use Dies in DieCember®

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

This week Simon Says: Use Dies and we are featuring always amazing Simon Says Stamp 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!  

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!
