The full Diecember® Release can be found HERE:
I'm sharing a couple of cards today, both featuring Simon's new Sensational Snowflakes Die. Here they are:
For my first card I used the Sensational Snowflakes Die to create a fun shaker card. I die cut a piece of Neenah White Cardstock and backed it with a piece of acetate from Hero Arts. I built up the back of the cardstock with foam tape, being sure that none of it would show through and that the added sequins would be completely trapped inside. The sequins are a mix of Lucy's Cards and some other sequins I had on hand. Once backed with my notecard, I added a white heat embossed sentiment. (Supplies used are listed at the end of the blog post).
For my second card I cut out multiple snowflakes and added them to a background inked up with Distress Oxide Inks, splattered with water, and spirtzed with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spray. I added a piece of vellum cut using Simon's Wonky Rectangles to tone down the colour behind the greeting. The sentiment is cut from Simon's Black Cardstock using their Merry and Bright die set and was coloured with a Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Marker.
In case you missed it, I shared this card on my blog yesterday featuring Simon's new Evergreen Circle Die:

Sarah, your snowflake shaker card is so clean and fun! Your tree card is really beautiful and I love the sentiment. Unfortunately, I can't find that set of sentiments on Simon Says Stamp. The background for the tree card is so pretty! thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
The cards are beautiful.
What wonderful cards. I love the snowflake shaker card. Unique.
Snowflake shakers!!
I love your snowflake shaker card! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
So pretty! I just love the snowflake dies. Very pretty
Nice and clean, very pretty!
I'm so glad you used the evergreen circle die, because I was wondering how it looked in proportion to a card. And while I enjoyed all your cards (those green/teal sequins were a particularly nice touch), I think I liked the evergreens the best. It's so perfectly winter for me: snow-covered trees on a dark night. I can almost feel the cold, but in the best way.
There is just something about inked backgrounds that I just love. You can do so much with those and you've done a great job using that combined with great SSS products. Thanks for sharing!
Pretty cards. Love the shaker card!
Beautiful cards!
I love these designs!
Great cards with simple ideas that don't overwhelm me. Thank you
I really love your cards! Thanks for sharing!
These cards so magnificent. I love the design here.
Very pretty cards!

Simple but stunning cards!
Love the new dies!
Fabulous cards, Sarah - I love that evergreen circle die. :)
Beautiful cards, but as I live in Maine the card made with the evergreen trees die is my favorite!
beautiful cards! TFS!
Totally Gorgeous!!
So pretty
love the shaker card!
It looks like I'm not the only one loving the shaker card...but, then again, I love vellum. What's a girl to do? CASE both, I think! ☺ I really like the non-traditional blues in the cards. It's fun to mix it up a bit. Thanks for the great inspiration.
I like your cards but my favorite is Merry & Bright because you stamped on the vellum. I can't tell how you attached the vellum.
I can’t get over how the Evergreen circle die made that simple card so stunning. Thanks.
That circle with the trees is simply stunning (one of my favourites of this release), and your card with it is beautiful! I also love the shaker with the snowflakes - very effective!
All your cards are amazing but my favorite is the last one. The white trees against the dark night sky is gorgeous. Love that sentiment too.
I love the snowflake background and that tree die cut is perfect for Christmas.
Lovely cards. I love your background on the tree card.
Lovely cards.
Gorgeous cards, Sarah. I particularly like your CAS shaker with a pop of teal peeking through.
I really like the clean designs of your cards, especially the simple elegance of the shaker card.
