Here's a link to all the Simon Brand Galleries, and here's the link to the new, Festive Fun 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:

I love this release and I had lots of fun playing with some of the products! First up is this cutie from the adorable, Jolly Christmas stamp set. I did not have the dies, so I fussy cut the images and adhered them to an ink blended, splattered panel, then stamped the sentiment.

The next set of cards showcases the Falling Snowflakes Foil Transfer Cards. These cards are so easy to use! All you need is some foil and a laminator. I did add a bit of color and embossing to the edges of a couple of them, and ink blended the entire panel of the last one, after foiling.

Up next is the Angels and Stars stencil. I only had the stencil, (there's a stamp and die set too) so I decided to create a soft card with some very light ink colors. 

For my next card, I used the Snowman Cupcake die set. It's a cute, little set and so fun to play with! I ink blended all the pieces, making each hat a different color. 

My last card uses the adorable, Pocket Full of Mushrooms die set. I used a bit of ink blending on the mushrooms, added a few details to each one, then adhered them onto an embossed card front. I love how pretty they look!

Okay, that's it from me. I hope I've given you a few ideas for using some of the products from this awesome release.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of the hop!
