We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Hello my friends, I'm sharing a Cute Christmas card I made using the Wispy Pine Needle Frame Embossing Folder, Triangle Bear and Triangle Tab Wafer Dies from Simon Says Stamp And Everything Nice release. You can check out all the fabulous products from the release HERE.

I embossed an A2 panel of Distress Watercolor card using Simon Says Stamp Wispy Pine Needle Frame Embossing Folder, coloured the edges of the panel with Pearfection and Field Pawsitively Saturated Mini Ink Cubes and Distress Mini Round Blending Tools. I generously splattered with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect White Splatter.

I die-cut the Triangle Bear and Triangle Tab Wafer dies 3 times from Distress Watercolor cardstock and trimmed off the tabs on the Triangle Tab die-cuts. I die-cut the hats included with the Triangle Bear dies from Lipstick Red cardstock, shaded with Paprika Distress Pawsitively Saturated Ink and Distress Watercolor card coloured with Pearfection and Field Pawsitively Saturated Mini Ink Cubes and the eyes and noses from Distress Black HeavyStock.

I assembled the bears, added small die-cut circles on top of the hats and used Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink to add a little blush to the cheeks.

I fixed the embossed panel to an A2 white card blank, added the bears popped up on Simon Says Stamp 3D Thin Foam Squares. I fixed the sentiment sticker from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Christmas 2025 Sticker Book to a scrap of card, trimmed and fixed in place with Foam Squares underneath the bears.

To finish I added PinkFresh Studio Gold Glitter Drops, added Ranger Glossy Accents to the circles and bands on the hats and sprinkled with Distress Rock Candy Glitter.

Have fun with what ever you're making.

Simon Says - Thank You

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

THANK YOU

I created a floral thank you card using Simon Says Stamp Square Dance Stencil, Old Letter stamp set, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Embroidery and Sign Painter along with the co-ordinating Simon Says Stamp Embroidery and Sign Painter Letters co-ordinating dies.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4.3/4" x 6.3/4". I applied Bundled Sage Distress Oxide ink through Simon Says Stamp Square Dance Stencil using a mini round blending tool. I stamped Simon Says Stamp Old Letter, inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink, randomly over the background.

I stamped Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Sign Painter, inked with Ground Espresso Distress Archival ink, on to Distress Watercolor card and die-cut using Simon Says Stamp Sign Painter Letters co-ordinating dies.

I stamped the image from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Embroidery, inked with Ground Espresso Distress Archival ink, twice on to Distress Watercolor card, coloured with Distress Watercolor Pencils (Bundled Sage, Dusty Concord, Mustard Seed and Walnut Stain) and a Detailer Waterbrush and die-cut using Simon Says Stamp Embroidery co-ordinating dies.

I fixed the letters in place, popped up on Simon Says Stamp 3D Thin Foam Squares, trimmed the Embroidery die-cuts, tucked in behind the die-cut letters and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium.

To finish I added splatters of Gilded Foundry Wax and heat set. I added Ranger Glossy Accents to the centres of the flowers and fixed the panel to an 5" x 7" white card blank.

Winter Wonderland Shaker Card

Hello my friends, I'm back to share another card using the Simon Says Stamp dies that co-ordinate with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Holiday Things and Scribbly Christmas stamp sets.

I created a shaker card using the Holiday Things and Scribbly Christmas stamp sets and dies along with Simon Says Stamp Nested Domed Arches dies.

I trimmed Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Christmas 2025 Backdrops paper to 4" x 6", stamped the snowflake from the Holiday Things stamp set, inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with Simon Says Stamp Gold Embossing Powder and heat set.

I die-cut the shaker frame from Distress Watercolor card using Simon Says Stamp Nested Domed Arches dies, coloured lightly by dragging an Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink pad lightly over the surface. I fixed the arched die-cut temporarily over the panel, re-stamped and embossed the snowflakes.

I die-cut the shaker frame again 4 times and stacked to create dimension.

I coloured the images from the Holiday Things stamp set with Distress Watercolor Pencils from Sets 4 and 5, spritzed with water and stamped on to Distress Watercolor card.

I die-cut the stamped images using the Simon Says Stamp Holiday Things co-ordinating set of dies.

I fixed 2 of the Holiday Things die-cut trees to the background panel, added the stacked arch die-cuts to the panel with Distress Collage Medium and added Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Rock Candy Chunky Glitter. I fixed acetate to the back of the decorated arch die-cut, trimmed off the excess and fixed in place with Simon Says Stamp Redline tape to create the dimensional shaker element. I added splatters of Dina Wakley White Gloss Spray and fixed the Holiday Things die-cuts in place on the front of the shaker panel with Simon Says Stamp 3D Thin Foam Squares.

I stamped the sentiment from Scribbly Christmas on to a scrap of the Christmas 2025 Backdrops paper, inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with Simon Says Stamp White Embossing Powder, heat set and die-cut using the Simon Says Stamp co-ordinating sentiment die. I die-cut again 4 times from Distress Watercolor card, stacked to create dimension and fixed to the frame with Distress Collage Medium.

I added Gina K Gold Mini Pearl Embellishments to the centres of the snowflakes and fixed the panel to a white card blank. To finish I added Ranger Glossy Accents to the berries on the die-cuts.

Have fun with whatever you're making.

Simon Says - Thinking Of You

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

THINKING OF YOU

I was inspired by the recent Remembrance Day Parade at the Cenotaph in London to create a card to honour the heroism and sacrifice of all those who have gone to war, past and present, to defend our liberty. Let’s not forget those who never returned, those who suffered life changing injuries or those that are left with memories that severely impact their lives. 

I trimmed the striped paper from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Correspondence Vault 25 8" x 8" paper to be slightly smaller than A2 and fixed to a white card blank. I trimmed the second paper to 4" x 5.1/4", inked the edges with Scorched Timber Distress Ink and a Tiny Blending Tool, spritzed with water to create the water droplet effect, distressed the edges and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium.

I stamped the Big Ben and postmark images from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous London Sights on to the card, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

I die-cut the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Modern Floristry Thinlits from Distress Watercolor card coloured with Distress Oxide inks (linked below) and Distress Black Heavystock, curled with my fingers, assembled and fixed in place with Simon Says Stamp Thin Foam Squares to create dimension. I added Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Photobooth.

I added Gina K Gold Mini Pearl embellishments to each poppy.

To finish I added a Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Thoughts Label Sticker popped up on Simon Says Stamp Thin Foam Squares to add dimension.
