DieCember® Blog Hop 2!

Hello, friends, and welcome to day two of our DieCember® release blog hops! If you missed last Friday’s hop, be sure to circle back and check it out HERE.
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.
Before we hop, let’s take a look at some fabulous inspiration from Nina-Marie Trapani and Susan R. Opel:


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!

Handmade Hanukkah Treats! Not a Card with Nina-Marie

Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! Today I am sharing a beautiful way to present Hanukkah treats this season! These are easy to make but are an elegant way to gift treats to your loved ones!

I’m using our Simon Says Stamp exclusive Light the Menorah stamp set, Five Stars die set, and Snowflake Trimmings die set. To make the treat boxes, I used our Simon exclusive Pillow Box die. These paired perfectly with patterned paper from Craft Consortium called Ink Drops Dusk.

Art Journaling with Shari: Joy

Welcome, everyone!! It’s Shari here with another installation of my tag journal. This is my final tag for 2023. I hope you’ve enjoyed this format of art journaling. It was so fun for me to be able to add some bulk and layers to my tags and play with techniques. This tag barely fit on the ring.

Since it’s DieCember, I thought it would be appropriate to use dies for this one. I wanted to create an elegant, winter-themed, sparkly yet natural tag to complete this journal. I’m looking forward to starting a new one in the new year!

Check out my video below to see how this came together! Enjoy!!
