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, DieCember release 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 beautiful, Fanfare Border die. I also used Simon's new, Pawsitively Velvet Cardstock to cut two of the images. I thought an older, congratulations die was perfect in the center. It's a simple card but pretty too! Wish you could see the velvety texture!
Next up is a set of thank you cards. It was so easy to whip these up using the Thank You Cover Plate die! Just choose some fun colors and layer it all up!
Okay, this next die set is called, Leafy Teardrop. I used alcohol inks on a panel of Yupo paper before cutting it out and pairing it with an older embossing folder.
Up next is this beautiful stamp set called, Holiday Florals. I chose to only use the leaves and berry images from the set and I love how this turned out! Pink and green are my fave colors for Christmas! I paired this one with a snowflake embossing folder from a previous release.

For my last card, I played with this stencil set called, Layering Poinsettias. I thought it would be fun to use blues/aquas for the flowers, instead of the traditional pinks/reds. I added a few frosty sequins in the centers for a bit more interest. And by the way, Simon's inks are awesome to use with stencils!
I hope I've given you a few ideas on using some of the new DieCember products! Up next on the hop is my sweet and talented friend, Heather!
Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Wonderful cards, I so wanted to be able to touch the first card to be able to feel the velvety texture. The Thank You cards were bright & happy and I especially liked the one using the Holiday Florals stamps along with the embossing folder. Well done.

I love your color combination and that you used different dies than many of the others. The Leafy Teardrop card is my favorite. The leaf colors are so vibrant. I could see using this type of die with other alcohol inks and different sentiments. Lots of versatility for a die. Thanks for sharing.
