Hi there! TGIF, everyone! We still have a few days of Die-Cemberleft! I hope you’ve been enjoying this month of celebrating die cutting! It’s such a fun and easy way to make your crafts even more beautiful! Today I’m so pleased to bring to you 3 gorgeous inspirations on how to use some of our house brand Simon Says Stamp exclusive dies brought to you by the fabulous Debby Hughes!

Enjoy!

Hello, it’s Debby here with a celebration of all things die for Die-Cember! Both my cards and tag use only dies; not a stamp set in sight! As soon as I saw the new release from Simon Says Stamp I wanted the Leaves; Clustered Leaves die, Leaves stencil and Leaves mask :) They are so perfectly up my street. LOL.

This was the first card I made and I had visualized this card from seeing the product graphics when they first came out :) I used the Leaves Stencil and swiped some white embossing paste over the stencil onto a white panel. It gave the panel some subtle texture and grounded the two layers of clustered Leaves die cuts I added. The first was cut from the new beautiful Sea Glass card and then a little Distress Inks sponged on for color variation. A final touch was to splatter a solution of Perfect Pearls over the leaves and add little silver die cut leaves from the Heart Wreath die. The second set of leaves was die cut from vellum and layered over the top :)

For a sentiment I cut the Small Hello die from silver glitter cardstock and loosely attached it over a strip of patterned paper. A sprinkle of rhinestones and a little twine finished it off.

For my next card I was inspired by the chapter graphics from Amber’s fabulous online gift guide; Toile. The Big Thanks die cut from silver glitter card was layered over a white circle popped up onto more of that lovely Sea Glass card and that in turn was popped up over a square of patterned paper.

I added a snippet of Clustered Leaves in vellum and a heart from Heart Flowers to accent the lovely swirl of the ‘Thanks’.

Finally, I made a matching tag using the Medium Tag dies, a scrap of the pattered paper and Sea Glass card and the Small Love You die. Of course I had to add another touch of Clustered Leaves in vellum, some rhinestones and twine to finish :)

Thanks for joining me today!

  1. I love all these cards. I’m going to have to pull out the glitter cardstock to see how I can use that again. Love the look!

  2. So beautiful… as usual. I always love Debby’s color palettes and the way she uses white space so effectively. She always inspires!

  3. Wonderful cards and tag! The color combination is great and the silver glittered die cuts look so beautiful! I think I have to try it! Thank you for sharing and happy holidays to all!

  4. Oh, my goodness! These cards and tag are absolutely gorgeous! Debby’s talent is so amazing – love the soft colors, beautiful designs and pretty sparkle! ♥

  5. These are gorgeous! The mix of vellum and glitter with the that beautiful blue is outstanding!

  6. Gorgeous cards and tags from Debby! I love the vellum paper and the bit of sparkle! So pretty!

  7. Debby always has great ideas and these are so beautiful. Love the glittery look for the beginning of the year!

  8. Debby’s work is always ssssoooooo impressive. Every single one of these dies is on my “want it” list. Now I’ll have to put the glitter paper on it, too. The glitter paper really steps it up a notch or two. Love it that there’s no glittery flakes all over everything and everybody.

  9. These cards are just so elegant. The softness of the colors, the vellum and those beautiful die cuts great job!

  10. Wow….oh, wow!!! LOVE these. So gorgeous. The pale, icy colors are so delicate….like the first hint of spring.
