DieCember® Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their DieCember® Blog Hop.
SSS-Picture Book Tree Background & Evergreen CircleMy first card features the Evergreen Circle die. I die cut the evergreen image with a nested circle die and then using a slightly larger circle mask, blended distress inks onto the background.SSS-Evergreen CircleI embossed a sentiment from the Coolest Yulest stamp set and popped the panel up onto a Fog card base.
SSS-Evergreen CircleThis next card uses the same technique and features the Picture Book Tree Background die.SSS-Picture Book Tree BackgroundI used a Basic Rectangle die to die cut the Picture Book Tree image out and then masked a slightly larger rectangle using post-it tape to blend the distress inks onto the background.SSS-Picture Book Tree BackgroundHere’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

Happy DieCember®!

Hello there & Happy DieCember®! The latest DieCember® release by Simon Says Stamp is now available and there is so much to love. I have a couple of project to share with you using a few of my faves from the release.SSS-DieCember 2017 ReleaseFirst up is a project featuring the new Picture Book dies. The Picture Book dies are some of my most favorite dies by Simon and I was absolutely giddy to see a Hippo, a Moose & a Polar Bear💗
SSS-Picture Book Hippo, Moose & Polar BearFor the background I partially die cut one of the larger Nested Circle dies to create a circle frame and blended distress inks behind using Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade & Squeezed Lemonade.
SSS-Picture Book Hippo, Moose & Polar BearThe sentiment is also from the DieCember® release and is called the Script Miss You die.
SSS-Picture Book Hippo, Moose & Polar BearNext up is another fantastic new die! I LOVE this one. It’s called the Happy HB die.
SSS-Happy HBI kept this one really clean & simple adhering several strips of colored cardtsock in a row to show through the die cut letters of the Happy HB die. I used one of the Nested Circle dies to die cut the Happy HB die cut into a circle shape and popped it up over the colorful strips.
SSS-Happy HBThe colors of solid cardstock I use are: (top to bottom)
Amethyst Allure, Royal Purple, Doll Pink, Schoolhouse Red, Chilli Pepper, Orange Peel, Sunshine
SSS-Happy HBI’ll be sharing more projects in the next few days so stay tuned for the blog hops & giveaways!!

SSS-Diecember® blog hop

diecember-release_blog-hop-01Hello there! Today I’m very excited to join Simon Says Stamp along with several talented designers in a hop to showcase the awesome new Diecember® release.
SSS-Bear Hugs & Circle LeavesMy first project features the adorable Bear Hugs die. I die cut several pieces of felt and created a bear felt banner. In rainbow order, of course:) I adhered the bears with glossy accents.
SSS-Bear Hugs & Handlettered GreetingsI added a sentiment using one of the Handlettered Greetings dies with Fog cardstock. I used spray adhesive to adhere it to the card.
SSS-Bear Hugs & Handlettered GreetingsI had a bunch of colorful little felt hearts left over from die cutting the Bear Hugs and used them on this next card.
SSS-Circle Leaves & Missing YouThis card features the gorgeous Circle Leaves die with Cream Off cardstock. I added a sentiment using one of the new Missing You dies with Sea Glass yardstick. Two cards made solely with dies!!! So fun! These new Diecember® dies are fantastic!
