SIMON GALLERIES:
Did you know Simon has card galleries for each of their releases and their card kits, and even a video gallery? It's true, and you can add YOUR VERY OWN CARDS AND PROJECTS to these galleries! Here's a link to all the Simon Brand Galleries, and here's the link to the new, Sugar and Spice Gallery. There is so much inspiration to see! I encourage you to check them out and add your own cards/projects as well!
MY CARDS:
My first card showcases the Christmas Candles embossing folder. After embossing the image I used Copic markers to give it some color. The sentiment is from the Inside Greetings Holiday stamp set. I cut apart the words to fit my design.
Up next is the adorable, Christmas Cats stamp set. With these darling, little images I decided to make a set of small cards to fit on smaller gifts. After coloring the images I fussy cut them out before attaching them to my cards.
For my third card I used the Holiday Duo die set, along with an older embossing folder. Simon's metalic red cardstock is perfect for these dies! You could easily mass produce this design.
And inside this card, I used another sentiment from the Inside Greetings Holiday set. I highly recommend this set! So many wonderful sentiments!
I used some of the new inks that Simon released during STAMPtember for my last card. Man, I love these colors! The stencil set I used is called Patchwork. So fun!
That's it from me. I hope I've given you a few ideas for using some of the products from this awesome release! Thank you so much for stopping by!
