Limited Edition Holiday 2018 Comfort and Joy Card Kit: Revealed!
Hi friends! TGIF! ‘Tis the season for our highly anticipated Limited Edition 2018 Holiday Card Kit! Say ‘hello’ to Comfort and Joy! This kit was lovingly assembled with the traditional crafter in mind that gives a tip of the hat to classic colors of red and green, rich plaids, poinsettias, classic Santas, Victorian snowflakes, and MORE!
Please note that this card kit is not part of our monthly card kit subscription. Even if you are a subscriber, you must purchase this kit separately if you would like to.
While we are pleased to offer many pieces of this kit individually, like our brand NEW Comfort and Joy stamp set and Poinsettia Background Cling stamp, this kit packs a major VALUE in buying as a set and is only available in a smaller batch while supplies last.
The awesome Laura Bassen kindly offered to make a walk-through reveal video of this kit so that you could have an up-close look at all of the goodies in this festive kit!

Throwback Thursday – Fabulous Projects You Might Have Missed!
Welcome to another edition of Throwback Thursday — a trip back in time! For each throwback, we’ll be spotlighting fantastic cards and projects using products from previous releases. The new stuff is always SO fun, but think about all of those great products you’ve collected and set aside. They are STILL AWESOME! And we want to inspire you with fantastic inspiration from our creative archives.
We’re getting ready for another awesome release that debuts on December 1st—DieCember®! You might remember some pretty spectacular products from last year’s DieCember® collection. Let’s get ready for a die-filled extravaganza by taking a look at some inspiring cards created with goodies from last year’s DieCember® release!
First up this pretty project from Anna Kossakovskaya:
Anna’s striking design in festive red is so much fun! By using one of the Nested Talk Bubbles dies, she created a lovely focal point with rustic twine and a sparkly snowflake die cut from gold glitter paper using the Big Joy Snowflake released last year. You can see Anna’s original post HERE, where she also shared an adorable card with pink penguins you’ll love, too!
Next, let’s throw it back to this eye-catching graphic design from Laura Bassen:
In true Laurafadora-style, Laura Bassen proves that sometimes simple is super KAPOW! The Happy HB die takes center stage positioned over a rainbow of cardstock strips. It doesn’t get any easier than that! You can find Laura’s original blog post HERE.
And let’s not forget this oh-so-adorable project from Bibi Cameron:
While not all of the products Bibi used for this whimsical design debuted during DieCember® last year, she incorporated lots of fun die cuts to create this card. Our Picture Book Unicorn (from our Love release) looks so cute with a rainbow mane, and the sparkly Holy Stars and Swirling Star Trail give lots of shimmer. She also used just the hello from our Oh Hello There die. Visit Bibi’s original post HERE.
Our last throwback project comes from Barb Engler:
Barb credits this design as a CASE from the ever amazing Yoonsun Hur. I just love the serene feeling of this design featuring pretty snowflakes and the Evergreen Circle die. The sentiment from our Stained Glass Greetings stamp set is simply perfect. You can check out Barb’s original post on Instagram HERE.
Did you know that we have inspiration galleries on our website showcasing project ideas for all of our releases and card kits? It’s a veritable treasure-trove of terrific ideas just waiting to inspire you, and you are invited to share your projects, too! You can find all of the Simon release galleries HERE and galleries for our monthly card kits can be found HERE. Scroll through today, and maybe you’ll find one of YOUR projects linked there!

Simon Says Stamp Card Kit Reveal and Inspiration: Holiday Cheer
Our December Card Kit Holiday Cheer is filled with so much happiness that you will be singing Christmas songs at the top of your lungs!
This delightful kit includes lots of fun products to create a whole slew of happy, holiday cards! The festive color palette is inspired by twelve, double-sided 6×6 sheets of patterned paper that are from of the classic, Carta Bella Santa’s Workshop collection. You’ll love the sweet retro designs featuring images of Christmases past!
Also from the Carta Bella Santa’s Workshop collection are two custom sheets of cute holiday stickers! Use them on your card designs or decorate your envelopes for that extra-special touch! Both the patterned papers and stickers are complemented perfectly with hand-picked, coordinating cardstock from Simon, as well as one sheet of Neenah White cardstock.
The kit includes a jumbo 6×8 Simon exclusive stamp set you’ll absolutely adore, called Christmas Cheer! It includes a myriad of delightful images to create festive scenes—such as a jolly Santa, a sweetly bedecked Christmas tree, and a customizable, North Pole-inspired signpost that you can fill with many of the sentiments included! Decorate with intricate snowflakes (in various sizes) and choose from two postage stamp images with festive sayings and a third with holiday florals. Sixteen sentiments in a variety of styles will help you create custom holiday greetings.
Hang on, because there is so much MORE in this jam-packed kit!
How ‘bout a full-sized Festive Berries Distress Oxide ink pad from Tim Holtz for adding delicious holiday red to your designs? OMG! Awesome! And you can die cut your way to sweet, pepperminty designs with our new Simon Exclusive Candy Canes die set. You’ll love how you can use the bow with the candy canes, or without for an accent all by itself. So much fun!
Need a quick card? Grab the two, adorable watercolor cards included (designed by Suzy Plantamura) and our custom Daniel Smith Watercolor card (featuring 4 colors) for easy and delightful results!
Rounding out this fantastically festive kit is one package of holiday sequins from Darice, three metallic Simon Says Stamp envelopes in three coordinating shades; plus three, pre-scored A2 Simon notecards in Audrey Blue, and one small Simon Says Stamp red tag. Oh my goodness!
