Holiday Helpers Snow Globe Magic
Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming special guest Caly Person to share a super fun Lawn Fawn project! Read on and enjoy!
Hi, Friends! It’s Caly with you today and I’m so excited to be sharing a Lawn Fawn project with you here on the Simon Says Stamp Blog! Christmas is nearly here so I’m taking this opportunity to make as many holiday cards as I can before we move onto the new year. Today’s project features the Magic Iris Snow Globe which I decorate with the Holiday Helpers set to make it festive.
I started by creating my background. I stamped the Snow Globe Scene with the Christmas tree image and used a drawing pen to extend my indoor scene from one side to the other on my panel. Then using masking paper, I masked off the top and bottom to ink-blend using the Brick Stencil for the top portion using a blend of Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks and Antique Linen for the floor.
I stamped and colored all of my images with Copic markers and die-cut them out before creating my Magic Iris Snow Globe. I die-cut the parts from the Magic Iris Dies to create the mechanism and ink-blended the snow globe pieces using Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass, and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks.
After completing my snow globe and ensuring the mechanism opened and closed well, I attached it over my background panel to reveal the Christmas tree. To finish, I stamped my sentiment from the Tiny Christmas set onto the plaque for the snow globe and attached the rest of my images to create my scene.
I hope you enjoyed this card! Thanks so much for stopping by today! ~Caly

Yippee for Yana: Stamped & Foiled Valentine’s Day
Hi friends! Welcome back to the latest edition of Yippee for Yana! Read on and be sure to watch the video for all the info! Enjoy!
Hi everyone, this is Yana Smakula, welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! Today I have a Valentine’s Day card to share that features two of my favorite things – stamping and foiling! When you combine both of these there is a little trick to making it all work and I’ll share that trick in this video.
I will be stamping my images using a gorgeous new You Have My Heart stamp set from Simon. It is a stunning 6×8 clear stamp set with beautiful imagery that can be used all year round, not just for Valentine’s Day. You have image clusters in here, as well as individual images to build your arrangements or dress up existing arrangements in this set. This set has coordinating dies, they are sold separately and I think it is a very good set to have and invest into, it is very versatile, fresh, and on-trend. The sentiment in this set are perfect for Congratulatory cards and Love You cards.
While this set does have everything you’d need to make a card, I like to pull supplies from multiple sets for my projects, so I’ll use a sentiment from a different stamp set from Simon, from Love Greetings Mix. This is also a large 6×8 stamp set with a multitude of beautiful sentiments for Valentine’s Day, Love and Affection. I quite like that heart-shaped sentiment that reads Happy Valentine’s Day, Love, and I’ll use that for the card I’m sharing today.
Follow these instructions step-by-step to re-create this card:
- Stamp floral cluster in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock using mini MISTI. Keep stamp in the MISTI.
- Color images with Copic markers: R22, R24, R27, R39, G21, G94, G99, YG03, RV14, RV13, RV10, RV00, W1, W3.
- Reposition colored images back into the MISTI and re-stamp the outline with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Cover with Clear embossing powder & heat set.
- Cut floral cluster out using a coordinating die. You’ll need 2 clusters for this card.
- Foil a frame in gold foil on a panel of red cardstock using Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System. Cut the panel out using a rectangle die.
- Heat emboss the sentiment in white embossing powder in the center of the foiled panel.
- Arrange floral clusters on the panel, foam mount, trim excess off.
- Foam mount panel to A2 white side folding card base.
- Foil foliage using a glimmer plate from the Organic Foliage Glimmer plate in gold foil on red cardstock. Cut out using a coordinating die. Arrange foliage on the panel and adhere in place using foam adhesive.
- Stamp sub sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink, heat emboss in Clear embossing powder.
- Embellish card with gold sequins.
- Add white dots in various sizes.
- Let dry and enjoy!
Have fun stamping!
