Simon Says Stamp Diecember Release!!

1 Dec

Well, Stamptember might be the happiest month for stamps but Diecember is finally here and Simon Says Stamp has just released a TON of amazing dies!  I’ll be sharing cards all month long using the fabulous Diecember release but I wanted to pop in bright and early to share my first card!

Happy Christmas by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

This is a super easy card that could be mass-produced with a variety of different colors!  Simon Says Stamp also released an assortment pack of gorgeous glitter papers and I thought they’d be perfect for paper-piecing this new die!  To start I die-cut the Sensational Snowflake Collage from a white card panel and from three colors of glitter paper.  I adhered the white panel to a white card base and then carefully pieced the glitter paper into the openings.

Next I stamped the sentiment from Merry and Bright onto black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  I trimmed it down and adhered it over the snowflakes with foam mounting tape.  Finally I added a wash of spectrum noir clear sparkle to the sentiment for a little extra shimmer!

Of course these colors aren’t quite traditional but you could easily replicate this design with blues and silvers…reds and greens…or even black, silver, and gold!  I’ll be back tomorrow morning with a fun blog hop celebrating the Diecember release but I’d love to know what dies caught your attention! 😉 Thanks so much for visiting and have a great day!
