DieCember® Blog Hop 1!

Happy DieCember®! Welcome to day one of two special release blog hops celebrating our DieCember® release! Come back next Friday for more amazing inspiration!
Our very first DieCember was in December 2013, and it’s hard to believe that it’s been 11 years already! Die cutting has changed the way that we create. To celebrate all things die cutting, we are hosting a month-long DieCember® celebration. Throughout the month you will see special features, sales, education, and inspiration that focus on die cutting.
Let’s get a sneak peek of what’s in store for our blog hop today with inspiration from Shari Carroll and Beth Opel! They used products from our DieCember® release to make these fantastic projects:


We love our customers! And we love your enthusiasm for our exclusive releases and blog hops. To celebrate, Simon has set aside a free gift just for you! Our exclusive gift for this blog hop is the Aidan Snowflake die FREE with any purchase (while supplies last)! Check out the details on the banner at the top of this post for information about claiming your gift.
Ready for even more DieCember® inspiration? Hop along with these talented designers! You’ll be inspired AND for every comment you leave on each blog, you’ll earn a chance to win a $25 Simon Says Stamp store shopping spree. YAY!

Please let these talented designers know how much you appreciate their designs. They work hard to inspire and excite us!
