Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their DieCember® release blog hop.
I have two projects to share featuring the new Vine Background die.
I blended Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Celery, Surf & Cadette for the color. For the sentiment I used the Love Hot Foil Plate and coordinating die along with one of the Reverse Love Joy Peace sentiment strips.
For the second card I die cut Green Apple, Audrey Blue and Island Blue cardstock to piece back into the white die cut.
For the sentiment I used the XL Greetings 3 stamp & die set.
Here is a video to show you how I created these cards.
GIVEAWAY!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from the blog comment section. Winners will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday, the 8th of December.

December 3, 2021 at 8:55 amDearest of the dears –
You make me happy with every video. Thank you for the lift! You cannot know how I appreciate your cheer.
Your Dec sounds like my mid-Dec to mid-Jan. Used to be that an aunt, both MILaw and FILaw, sister, AND father ALL had bdays to prep in addition to Xmas. Now two of them are gone. We don’t do b-days any more with my FILaw (just a card, so I can manage that!). So I am down to TWO bday gifts plus Xmas items.
Your cards are so pretty. I always end up liking that celery-color green with the more greeny-blue (aqua / surf) below it even though when they first go on the paper together, not so much. Maybe it’s the smoothing agents that work over a few minutes? Anyway, am jazzed about the three colors you used.
THX for being part of the hop!! This release is terrific! Hope you get to see Bo soon.
