It's DieCember® time !

 Hi there!

The last month of the year arrived and that means it time for Simon Says Stamps' annual 👉 DieCember® event ! 

I got to play with the Stitching Birdie Die from this release and made three cards to show off this sweet die set!

This little bird die can be used for a variety of occasions, on a card or on it's one - to make a shaped card or an ornament! I made two Christmas cards and a birthday card and look forward to explore even more uses!

Simon says Stamp : Sugar & Spice

 Hi there!

There's a beautiful release available over at Simon Says Stamp, and it's called 

                                                   Sugar & Spice 

I'm so happy to show you what I made with the Graceful Swans  stamp set.

I kept the designs very clean - just the way I like it - by adding a simple blended background shape, and black line stamping. Rhinestones for embellishments just to add a little something extra!

I hope you like it!

World Cardmaking Day 2025 with Simon Says Stamp !

 Hi There!

It's the first Saturday of October  and that means it is time again to celebrate our special day of the year !

                                       

                                                  🎉🥳WORLD CARDMAKING DAY 🎉🥳

I'm thrilled to spend the day with my friends over at Simon Says Stamp as a proud representative of the United Arab Emirates, the country we've called home for the last 17 years.

To celebrate the day, I made two Christmas cards featuring some of my most loved Simon Says stamp products.

I used :

• Christmas words cling stamp
• Large joy wafer dies
• Embossing folder spun glass
• Vintage holiday swag
• Gold card stock
• Vellum
• Gold pigment ink
• Clear embossing powder
• Gold Glitter card stock
• Small star die
• Triangle die 
• Pearls and rhinestones 
• Foam tape for dimension
• Versafine black ink
• Misti
• Die cutting machine

Two quick and easy cards which can be recreated using different color combinations and background stamps. I have had this large joy die for a couple of years, but for me it will never get old. It makes an appearance every year!

I love the rich texture the Spun Glass embossing folder gives to the gold card stock. The simplicity of this card makes my heart so happy!

These two cards use card recipes I love to use every year to make Christmas cards. Do you have a card recipe you go back to often? I would love to hear from you in the comments below!

Thank you so much for visiting me today and be sure to check out more holiday cardmaking inspiration from card makers all over the world on the Simon Says Stamp blog. ♥

Rooting for you - Simon Says Stamp - Happy Camper release

 Hi there!

There’s a fresh new release over at Simon Says Stamp, and it’s called Happy Camper! 

I’m excited to share a fun set of cards I created with the Rooting for You stamp set. I kept the designs clean and cohesive by following the same recipe for each one: a crisp black-and-white focal point, sweet polka dot accents, and a bold pop of color for the card base.

Take a look!

The polka dot stamp I used is from Mudra Craft stamps and I used Versafine Black ink. 

For more inspiration head over to the Simon Brand Gallery for loads of inspiration :)

Thanks for visiting me toady!

Mother's Day is the name of the set. The main feature is a lovely bold sentiment, with options to build your own phrases to convey the message of your choice. It is accompanied with a variety of solid butterfly stamps, ranging in size.

I had fun making three one layer cards, join me to take a look:

• Black ink : Versafine black ink

Rain or Shine !

 Hi there!

Thank you so much for being here ! I am so glad you popped in to take a look at three cute - yes I made some cute cards - not something I often do, but I really fell in love with the the sweet characters from the Rain or Shine stamp set from the new Simon Says Stamp release, with the same name... Rain or Shine!

I used my Silhouette cameo to cut out the images, but of course you can use the coordinating dies if you have them available, alternatively you can fussy cut them! I used my Zig Markers to water color the images and to create the simple backgrounds. The images were popped up with  foam tape, and I used rhinestones to embellish my cards.

Clean, simple and sweet ! I hope you love these as much as I do 😊

Remember to visit the Simon gallery for amazing inspiration and search for #SSSRainOrShine and #SimonSaysStamp on social media.

Wishing you a day filled with sunshine!
