Happy DieCember!

12/1/2020

Don’t miss my special post about Giving Tuesday


Happy DieCember everyone! Simon Says Stamp has a ton of fun products they are releasing today all focused around stand-alone dies, and I have a few cards to inspire you!

Snowflake Frame

Hello, I’m Jenn Shurkus and I am obsessed with snowflakes. Just not the kind where you feel the cold 😉 The cute kind… on a card for example.

Simon Says Stamp, Snowflake Frame

I started by die-cutting the new Snowflake Frame die out of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I then watercolored the background with Distress Inks (Peacock Feathers, Rustic Wilderness, Wilted Violet, and Faded Jeans).

I dried it with a heat tool and dusted it very well with the powder tool, then white embossed the sentiment from the recently released Joyful Season stamp set.

Simon Says Stamp, Joyful Season

I added this panel to a card base with 3M foam tape, then for a little sparkle I added some iridescent sequins.

For the second card, I watercolored patches of color on another piece of Distress Watercolor cardstock with the same Distress colors. I then diecut the individual snowflake dies that come with the Snowflake Frame die.

I die-cut the same snowflakes out of some gold sparkle cardstock. I then cut out a stitched rectangle and gold embossed another sentiment from the Joyful Season stamp set. I added the stitched rectangle to a card base with 3M foam tape, and then sprinkled the snowflakes here and there. Some of them tucked under the rectangle and some on top. A simple card, with a lot of white space but I really like how it turned out.

    I literally just laughed out loud. I live in Michigan… but I also don’t love the cold kind of snowflakes!

    Gorgeous!!! Love the bright combination and die on the first one, and the elegant simplicity of the second one. How do you keep your watercolour paper from warping?
