Did You Know? March 2026 Edition: Highlighting Useful Ways of Using Your Supplies
Hello crafters, it’s Shari Carroll here with you for a new edition of our popular Did You Know series! Today I’m celebrating some of the new products that we have scouted and developed to help you achieve amazing results for your creative projects.
EZ AND XL EZ SENTIMENT STRIPS WITH COORDINATING DIES
We’re delighted to share that we now have two sizes of EZ strips to choose from each coming with coordinating dies with 4 unique edges. Each set of sentiment strips has a theme so the messages coordinate together. They come in packs of 4 in either black on white or reverse with white on black.
There are 4 coordinating dies for each size of EZ Strips. The styled edges are rounded corners, slant, rectangle, and banner.
Our original EZ steps have messages in various sizes. They are laid out with larger sentiments at the top graduating to smaller sub sentiments towards the bottom. The EZ strips coordinating dies can be aligned over the sheet of strips to cut all the sentiments at once.
Our New XL EZ strips are larger sentiments for a bold impact. They vary from single words to short messages. Keep an eye out for more of the strips to be added to our library!
TIP: Keep your cut strips and dies together in a Simon Says Stamp storage pocket.
We have just released some gorgeous pastel heavyweight cardstocks. They die cut beautifully and can be embossed with your favorite folders. The smooth finish is great for ink blending and watermark stamping.
The colors are:
Starlight– a perfect light grey for a neutral card base
Seashell– a creamy light apricot
Apricot– a true soft apricot
Moonflower– a gentle hint of lavender
These come packaged as a set with 2 of each color, or individually with 8 sheets per package.
Want to create quick beautiful backgrounds? We have been adding more 6×6 Clear background stamps to our library. The backgrounds vary in ways of florals, script, and geometric or patterned images. What we love about Clear background stamps is that it’s super easy to align to your cardstock, especially with text!
These can be used as a subtle background when you want your focal point to shine or as a base for beautiful coloring.
TIP: Try stamping with clear ink on white cardstock, sprinkle clear embossing over top and heat set. After inking, wipe with a paper towel to remove color sitting on top of the stamped image.
Layering stencils may seem complicated but be assured, we’ve been working hard to make them much easier to use. Our newer stencils with coordinating dies are etched with the lines of the dies. We suggest to die cut your paper first, and align you die cut to the back of the stencil.
Our background stencils will match edge to edge.
Tip: Not sure which is front or back? We have also included etching with Simon Says Stamp along with the item number on the FRONT side.
I hope these tips have helped you learn a few tricks for your organizing… Thanks for tuning in today and spending some time with me!
