A Felt Snowman to Warm Your Heart
This week I traded cardstock for felt and stitched up this cozy snowman ornament using the Stitching Snowman dies from Simon Says Stamp. With pom pom trim, hand stitching, and a few festive touches, he’s a sweet little keepsake for the tree or a handmade gift topper.
A Radiant Reflection
A luminous design featuring the Radiant Burst die from the Simon Says Stamp DieCember® release. Metallic gold and bright white combine to create an elegant card that celebrates the beauty of light and simplicity.

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!
