I love the collaboration between Simon Says Stamp and Tim Holtz. Tim’s stunning artwork and Simon’s dies are a perfect pairing. Simon’s recent Be Bold release includes two new stamp and die bundles: Botanical Collage and Watercolor, which I used on this card. This blog post is also part of a blog hop to celebrate the new Be Bold release; please scroll down for more information.

I first started using a version of this ink combination after seeing Kristina Werner testing out options. You should check out Kristina’s series on ink combinations if you are ever stuck. I’ve turned to this favourite time and time again. Check out other projects using these colours here. Today’s blog post is part of a hop to celebrate the Splendor release from Simon Says Stamp, you can find more details of that if you scroll down.

One of my favourite ways to showcase a stunning die cut is to keep it simple, cut it from a white card, and bring in a little colour and detail with the background. This Beautiful Dove die is from the new Splendor release from Simon Says Stamp if you would like to check it out.

This card is totally out of my comfort zone! I am usually all about the layers and textures, but I fell in love with the oh-so-cute images in the European Street Add-ons set that I had to have a go at a one-layer stamped card. However, if you scroll down, I have an example of my usual style of paints and textures all collected together on a great tag set. Also, if you scroll down, you will find the details of a blog hop to celebrate the Smitten and Sweetheart releases from Simon Says Stamp.

Too early for Spring flowers? Never! And when you have a great tag die to gather elements on, it can’t be beaten! Today, a new Sweetheart release from Simon Says Stamp pairs with the Smitten release from mid-December. My card uses elements from both as they match well together.

simon says stamp smitten release
First off, I wanted to give you a heads up that there’s a new Smitten release from Simon Says Stamp. I’ve not had creative time to delve into the release as yet but I’m hoping that after Christmas, when there’s that spell of quiet that I will get a chance. I do love Christmas, but it is in it’s nature a busy time of year. I rather like the peace afterwards as we roll into a new year with all the promise of a fresh start.

I do rather kick myself in the foot when I make pastel, dreamy-coloured cards because they are so hard to photograph! For this minimal supplies card, I used just one stamp set, a few heat embossing supplies and a couple of inks, which, for me, counts as a minimal supplies card! If you want to scroll down, I have an example of a many layered card for contrast and also if you scroll down you will find the details of a blog hop too to celebrate the new Diecember release from Simon Says Stamp.

Diecember is a month when die-cutting becomes the focus, and in celebration of this often overlooked supply, I used a Home For Christmas house die, a Fretwork Snowflake die, and a Snowflake Burst Pinpoint Plate die for my card today. To add detail and interest, I also used the Fanciful Flurries embossing folder and all the layers with different textures add together to create detail and interest.
