Simon Says Stamp | Festive Fun Release
11/08/2024

Hi there!

Today I’m super excited to be participating in a Blog Hop to celebrate the Simon Says Stamp Festive Fun Release! 

If you’re following along on the hop you probably got here from Kim Hamilton’s blog – but if not, you can start from the top at the Simon Says Stamp Blog!    

Of course, no Hop is complete without some extra fun thrown in so, Simon’s NEW and exclusive Cozy Together stamp and die set will be automatically added to your order if your purchase contains $100 or more of Festive Fun release products! This gift with purchase will expire 11/10 at 11:59 pm EST. While supplies last.

In addition, be sure to leave a comment below (and at each stop on the hop) because Simon is giving away a $25 coupon to one commenter on each blog!  Winners will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday, November 13th. If you’re a winner, just email Simon Says Stamp to claim your prize!

For my stop on the hop, I’m sharing this sweet card I created using items from this amazing release!  

This card features one of the adorable images from the Jolly Christmas stamp set, along with the new Fluted Forest Décor embossing folder.  I stamped the little bird on the mailbox image with Memento ink and colored it with my Copic markers.  I fussy cut out the image since my dies had not arrived in time for the hop but it was a really easy image to cut.  

I die cut a circle from a panel of white card stock and placed it over another panel that I had embossed with embossing folder.  I just love the white-on-white dimensional look!

I die cut and ink blended a bit of holiday foliage and placed it in a swag pattern at the bottom of the die cut circle.  

I used foam adhesive to pop my bird and mailbox image up on top of the foliage and embossed background. 

I decided not to add a sentiment to the front of this card because I really loved the clean and simple look but I did add some Stickles to the snow on the mailbox and on the ground just for a bit of a sparkle.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today and for joining in on our Hop!  If you’re following along in order, your next stop will be Carly Minner and I know you won’t want to miss it!  The full list of blogs on the hop today are:

  39. Linda

    The image itself is cute, but the idea of embossing a panel to put behind your circle die cut is something I’ll try to remember to use in other cards. What a good idea. Thank you.

    Such a sweet fun card!

    • Jean Doeringsfeld

  41. Bunny Hoyle

    I was reading your bio about organizing. I’m all for that. Then I got lost when it came to the art part of color. Clearly your card shows you know what you’re doing. It’s very pretty. I do love coloring and one day I might try and understand about lights and shadows, etc.

    • Jean Doeringsfeld

      Oh fun! I always wonder if people read that! I just make things that look good to me – usually with ample white space, harmonious colors, and lots of dimension! I should update my bio to say that!

  42. Gab

    This is so sweet

  43. Lynn Chan

    Very pretty card! Elegant and cute

    • Jean Doeringsfeld

    What an adorably cute card, Jean! I love that bit of embossing for the background. Sometimes I think my bit of background is a bit plain and you’ve given me some inspiration with your card. Thanks for sharing!

    • Jean Doeringsfeld

      Thank you, Kay! I love to do white on white with my backgrounds – especially when I want the focal point to really pop. I’m so glad this card inspired you!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
