SSS Felicity 3 Ways & December Card Kit Winner

Hi everyone!
I'm stopping by to share three non-Christmas cards featuring the Simon Says Stamp Felicity Snowflake Die and announce the winner of the sold out Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit. I love that this snowflake die doesn't look overly "snowflakish" and can be used any time of the year. 

Here are the cards I'm sharing today using the Felicity Die in three different layouts:


After adhering the dies on matching cardstock I added white heat embossed sentiments from Simon's Jumbo Stripes Stamp Set and added a mix of embellishments.

I love your water colouring! I just love the water coloured printed images in SSS card kit, how they take all guess work out of making fabulous cards, but still have such fun colouring them in. They also help improve my water colouring skills! Thanks for posting.

SSS December Card Kit: Candy Canes & GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone!

I'm popping by to share a final card featuring the now sold out Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit.


For today's card I used the new Simon Says Stamp Candy Canes Die that came in this month's kit as my focal point, diecutting it from Simon's Lipstick Red Cardstock. (Even thought the kit is sold out the die will be back in stock at some point). I adhered the candy canes to a piece of Neenah White Cardstock diecut using Simon's Nested Circles and added a stamped sentiment from the SSS Christmas Cheer Stamp Set. This was then added to a notecard made from Simon's Green Leaf Cardstock. I added a couple of strips of the Carta Bella Santa's Workshop Patterned Paper. I took the Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink, inked it on my craft sheet, mixed some water with it, and flicked it onto my card with a paint brush.

SSS December Card Kit: Watercolour Ornaments, GIVEAWAY, and 30% off Sale!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating in the US! I'm grateful for you and the time you take to stop in here.


My Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit finally found it's way to me yesterday amongst the rotating postal strike we're having here in Canada and I can now start sharing my projects with you.

For today's card I took one of the two sweet Suzy's Prints card that came in the card kit and painted it with the Daniel Smith Watercolor samples from the kit. I trimmed it down, adhered it to a notecard made from Simon's Lipstick Red Cardstock and finished it off with some of the red Darice 5mm Sequins for the berries. It was nice and relaxing to take some time to just sit and colour/paint.

SSS Dino Picture Book Animals

Hi everyone,

I'm back with some more of Simon Says Stamp's Picture Book Animal Dies, this time a few of their adorable dinosaur dies.

Using these dies is a great way to use up scraps of cardstock and can easily be paired with patterned paper backgrounds. I cut the bodies of each dino from two different colours of cardstock so the spots would be a different colour from the main colour. This also enabling me to make two dinos from each die. The sentiments were computer-generated but since the time I made these cards Simon has come out with a fun set of sentiment stamps called Punny Animals that pairs perfectly with many of the Picture Book Animal Dies.

Simon Says Stamp Debra Background

Hi everyone, 

I'm popping by to share a set of cards I made using the Simon Says Stamp Debra Background Die. I thought it'd be fun to make a few monochromatic cards with this die pairing the diecuts with lighter coloured backgrounds. The Debra Die., with all its detail. really did all the work for me. I just finished the cards off with sentiment strips and a few wooden veneer pieces.
