Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their DieCember® Release Blog Hop! My project featured the gorgeous Aurora Blooms Dies. For the background I used the Woven Embossing Folder, and for the sentiment I used the CZ Little Banners Dies.
Here is a video showing how I created this card.

December 2, 2023 at 7:27 amWell, I DON”T need any more floral dies, but these are on my wish list anyway! What a bold, bright, and colorful card! Surely will be appreciated by anyone living in the north where our days are mostly cloudy, gray, and colorless–unless you count newly fallen snow which is beautiful for a day or two!

December 2, 2023 at 8:21 pmThis is a great card. I am impressed, as always, with this new SSS release. I already placed an order and will likely place another. Thanks for inspiring us and participating in this hop. BTW, it’s EMpress, not a word that is almost like “impress.”
Good luck w/ all your Dec craziness! My sister and I no longer do bday gifts, so that’s one less for me (first few days of Jan) and we’ve decided this year to keep Xmas gifts to gag gifts or really small things only. I still have my father (on Xmas) and Fin Law (mid-Jan) birthdays plus a lot of people at school to get Xmas gifts for (secretaries, custodians and colleagues) ….
