We are celebrating Winter with our new card kit “Snow Much Thanks”. We’ve included the Simon Says Stamp clear stamp set “Frozen Fractals”, 8 single sided 6×6 custom papers from Authentique,  1 pack of custom snowflake sequins, 1 Tsukineko Delicata custom size white shimmer ink cube, 1 Lawn Fawn Stamp Shammy cleaner cloth, Simon Says Stamp cardstocks in Cotton Candy, NEW Cornflower Blue, and Cream, 1 sheet parchment paper Blue and 1 sheet parchment paper Blue Gray.

I used the snowflakes from the stamp set to white emboss my pattern paper. This is something I forget to do, it’s nice to create a second layer of stamping on printed papers. I split up the greeting to stamp onto white cardstock with Hollyhock ink, and white emboss on the strip of Cotton Candy cardstock.

Debby created a beautiful watercolor around her embossed snowflakes. She also white embossed her greeting onto a circle cut from vellum. She added sequins to finish off her design.

Wanda created a shaker card to hold her snowflake sequins. She stamped her background with the snowflakes from the set, and stamped her “hello” greeting onto a strip of parchment to bring everything together.

I’ve filmed a video of the walkthrough of this kit with additional inspiration. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

We love seeing what you are creating. ‘Spotted!’ is a monthly feature on this blog that highlights the talents of all of you! Thank your for bringing our products to life with your creativity and energy! It’s really a treat to share your projects!

Today we are happy to introduce you to five awesome designers who shared their work and caught our eye for the December 2016 edition of our ‘Spotted’ post!  We send each of them a little something special for being “spotted.” Be sure to use the hashtag #simonsayssstamp on your social media accounts so we can spot YOU! We find cards on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Flickr, in our Simon Galleries, and craft blogs.

The first card for today’s post is this gorgeous icy blue ornament card by Annie! This card was spotted on Annie’s Instagram. We love all that bright bold color for a holiday card! That silver and blue is just wonderful!  A clean, simple and perfect creation! Annie used our Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Merry Christmas Ornament to make the focal point of her card. Please visit Annie at her Instagram Page or her blog to see more of her beautiful work.

Next we have this beautiful Christmas Tree card made by Glorious! She used her Copic Markers to perfection to create the pretty yellow and orange shading underneath the die cut. So creative! Glorious used our Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Christmas Tree Wafer Die to make her card. Please visit Glorious on her Instagram page or on her crafting blog!

The next card for today is an amazingly beautiful floral birthday card made by Kimberly! She used one of our most popular Simon Says Stamp Exclusive stamp sets called Spring Flowers. The way she colored the blooms is so pretty, and the touch of polka dots finished the card off just right. What a happy card! To see more of Kimberly’s creations, please see her Instagram page or her blog.

This next card was spotted on Poppy’s Instagram account! What a beautiful homey, cozy, country Christmas Card! We love the look of the white ornament against the kraft paper. And, she used just the right embellishments to create a certain look and feel to this card. Poppy used our Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Merry Christmas Ornament Die and then swapped out the words by using the Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Joyeux Noel word die. To see more of Poppy’s cards please check out her blog or her Instagram account.

And for our last project for today, we spotted these perfectly colored cards made by Sarah. She used Inktense pencils to make these images pop right off the page, and then used just the right amount of layers and embellishments. She used our Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Believe in the Season Paintable Prints to make several festive cards ready to mail out! Please see more of Sarah’s work on her blog or at her Instagram account page.

Hello everyone, it’s Nina-Marie here wishing you a very Happy National Poinsettia Day! Today’s Studio Monday post features a twist to the in lay die cutting technique that I think you’ll enjoy. I’ll show you how to create a dimensional effect (and a stunning background too)!

Because it is National Poinsettia Day, I wanted to use the Poinsettia stamp and die set from Simon Says Stamp in this project; but keep in mind that this technique will work with ANY coordinating stamp and die set.

I stamped the outline flowers onto watercolor paper with Simon’s Schoolhouse Red ink; if you don’t want to do any coloring, you could definitely stamp the solid poinsettia image from this set instead. I love to color though, so I used the outline and did some watercoloring with Zig Clean Color markers. The colors I used are as follows: Geranium Red 029, May Green 047, Marine Green 400, Turquoise Green 042. All the gold accents are made using Finetec’s gold metallic watercolors.

I am a huge fan of the gorgeous Believe script stamp and die set… I paired the two together with the Poinsettia stamp and die set by die cutting the Believe script from DIY glitter paper and vellum. The supporting sentiment underneath the word believe was heat embossed onto a piece of Schoolhouse Red cardstock.
