Simon Says Stamp + Hero Arts DieCember Exclusive!

4 Dec

Good morning!  Two of my most favorite companies, Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp, have teamed up for a DieCember exclusive, available only at Simon Says Stamp!  This cute die is called Christmas Sweater and reminds me of one of my favorite holiday movies, Home Alone!

I created a fun Home Alone themed holiday card using this die along with some other products from Simon Says Stamp and Hero Arts!

Merry Christmas by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

To start I die-cut the Holiday Sweater die from cream cardstock and added a little copic shading around the edges.  Then I die-cut the sweater again and reserved the star and tree.  I colored them with copic markers and adhered them to the sweater.  I added a healthy dose of spectrum noir clear sparkle and nuvo crystal drops to the sweater and set it aside to dry.

I stamped the Simon Says Stamp Christmas Sweater background stamp onto schoolhouse red cardstock and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts Offbeat Holiday Messages onto cream cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I trimmed it down with the sentiment label dies and adhered it to the red panel with foam mounting tape.  Once my sweater was dry I used foam mounting tape to add it, too!  And now I’m off to watch Home Alone again! 😉

Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous day!

    This is a great card. I love this die and I really like the piecing you did with the tree and star. Home Alone is a great movie. What a funny sentiment lol.
