die cut cards
Peace & Love at Christmas
A festive holly sprig, a loopy red bow, and a bold, distressed sentiment strip make this Christmas card from the Simon Says Stamp Sugar and Spice release feel like an instant classic. I finished it with sparkling gems against a clean white background for an elegant, timeless look.
A Haunted Storybook Scene
This project was pure Halloween fun! A Storybook House die, a crackled Lava Lamp stencil background, and a quirky cast of characters from the Fright Bites stamp set – all from AALL & Create – turned into a little play on my desk—complete with a bat in a teacup opening the shutters.
Merry & Bright
This “merry & bright” card from the new Simon Says Stamp Sugar and Spice release features inlaid die cuts, festive icons, and a playful color palette. I added sparkle with gold ribbon and a foiled sentiment for a polished finish that feels joyful and modern.
Calm, Bright, and Beautifully Simple
For this Christmas card, I used the October 2025 Clear Stamp of the Month from Spellbinders for the sentiment and paired it with older products in my stash. A glowing city skyline, Santa’s sleigh, and a bold blue sky make this clean and simple design both peaceful and festive.
Cozy Wishes for the Season
For this card, I used the October 2025 Embossing Folder of the Month and the Stamp and Die of the Month Club products from Spellbinders. The embossed background pairs beautifully with the bold red house and simple sentiment, creating a clean and cozy holiday card that’s perfect for sending warm wishes this season.
Grateful
This card for Simon Says Stamp’s STAMPtember® release celebrates the beauty of fall with Copic-colored leaves in rich, vibrant hues. The “Grateful” sentiment gets extra depth with marker shading, while a soft aqua background keeps the whole design fresh and bright. A few sparkling accents finish it off, making this the perfect card to send a little gratitude this season.
Spook-tacular Special Delivery & A Blog Party
This Halloween card for Simon Says Stamp’s STAMPtember® collection features a playful ghost delivering mail in style. Using the older Delightful Ghost die, I made him float out of a Copic-colored mailbox, complete with a tiny envelope for extra charm. Bats, a spider, and a few gems finish off the scene for a spooky yet whimsical design that’s sure to deliver smiles.
Shake, Rattle, and Boo!
We’ve made it to Card #7 in my Halloween series—and this one’s got shake 👻 I used the Tiny Frights stamp set and new coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp’s Fall and Halloween release to create these playful ghosts and bat. The dramatic spider web die (a classic Tim Holtz fave) makes a perfect backdrop inside the shaker window. With sequins, sparkle, and spooky-cute vibes, this was such a fun way to close out the series! 🦇✨
Flying Into a Sweet Christmas
Soaring through a winter sky, this gingerbread airplane from Spellbinders’ Candy Christmas by Stamperia brings holiday cheer in the sweetest way. Puffy clouds, snowy evergreens, and a festive banner complete the playful scene, making this card a fun twist on Christmas traditions. A little whimsy, a lot of charm—this one’s bound to make spirits bright!
Just Breathe into Fall
Card #5 in my series takes a peaceful turn with this fall-inspired design using the Fall and Halloween Dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with Tim Holtz stamps. 🍁 I used watercolor markers directly on the leaf stamps, misted them with water, and pressed them onto watercolor paper for a loose, organic effect. The “Just Breathe” sentiment from a past release pulls it all together with quiet, autumn calm. 🍂✨
