SSS Blog Hop With Coordinating Dies For Tim Holtz's Holiday Stamps!

 Hi friends!

Welcome to my stop on this fun blog hop, showcasing new dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with some of Tim Holtz's holiday stamp sets!


MY CARDS:

I've got quite a few cards to share with you today, so let's get to it! First up is the Holiday Things stamp and die set. I created an inky background using the snowflake image from the stamp set, along with some splatters, before adhering the tree and deer images.



My next card uses the Holiday Sketchbook set. 'Tis the season to hustle around town, getting it all done. I used Copic markers to color these cute images.



I created a couple of tags using the Tattered Christmas set. There are so many fun images in this set and they're the perfect size for creating gift tags!





The tree images in the Scribbly Christmas set are so pretty! I used a few different blue and green inks and gave each tree a bit of dimension before adhering them on the snowy, embossed background.


Here's a card using the Holiday Postmarks stamp and die set. I thought an embossed, snowflake background would help highlight these sweet, little images.


And for my last card, it's the beautiful, Festive Collage set. I used a faux watercolor, stamping technique to stamp the image. After die cutting, I popped up the image with dimensional adhesive and adhered it back into the negative space. A few splatters and a sentiment and the card was done.



That's it for me. I hope you've enjoyed the hop and I hope I've given you a bit of inspiration for using these fabulous, coordinating dies! The dies, along with Tim's stamp sets, are all available now at Simon Says Stamp. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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!
