Joy in Every Color
The holidays just got a little brighter! The new Tim Holtz Sizzix Snowflake Rosette die from the Simon Says Stamp 2025 DieCember® Exclusive release turns a classic shape into a modern, colorful statement. The lightweight paper made folding easy, and a bone folder kept each crease crisp for perfect rosettes full of dimension and joy.
Bright Berries and Holiday Whimsy
This cheerful ornament-style card features a returning AALL & Create character dressed once again in festive colors. Layered greenery, glossy berries, and a bold red bow give the whole piece a classic holiday feel, all grounded with the warmth of kraft cardstock. Wishing you a wonderfully creative day.
Christmas Blessings
The new A Child Is Born die set from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice release beautifully captures the peace and grace of Christmas. Soft colors, gentle shine, and clean lines create a modern yet timeless Nativity scene. Have a wonderfully creative day.
Joy to You (and a Wink of Winter Magic)
This playful AALL & Create card transforms a non-winter character into a holiday cutie using traditional colors and die-cut snowflakes. A frosty blended frame, sparkly snowdrift, and cheerful speech bubble sentiment bring the whole snowy scene to life. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Warm Wishes (and Marshmallows)
The Warm Mug Stencil and Die Set from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice release inspired this playful, cozy card! I double-stenciled the mittens for a knit texture, added an embossed snowy background, and topped it all off with marshmallow-topped cocoa. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Mixed Media: O’ Christmas Tree
The 2025 Holiday Dies from Simon Says Stamp coordinate perfectly with Tim Holtz stamps, and this Christmas tree design shows their versatility. I built the scene around a dimensional wreath layered with greenery, faux snow, and a classic “O Christmas Tree” sentiment. Warm colors and texture make this piece feel timeless and festive. Have a wonderfully creative day!

Holy Night
This card, made with the Holy Night stamp set from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice release, captures the quiet beauty of Christmas. Soft ink blending, gentle tones, and a glittery star bring a peaceful reverence to the design. Have a wonderfully creative day.
Peace and Quiet Sparkle
A cozy winter scene made with AALL & Create products: a Copic-colored angel, a friendly bird, and a soft green tree over a lightly ink-blended, snowflake-speckled background. I stacked a rosy geometric frame and a silver “Peace” sentiment for quiet shine. A dimensional snowbank adds depth with its raised, glittery finish. Have a wonderfully creative day!
A Joyous Christmas
The new Branching Holly embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice release adds beautiful texture and depth to this clean, classic holiday card. Paired with layered die cuts and a pop of festive red, it captures that timeless Christmas warmth. Have a wonderfully creative day!
