DieCember® Blog Party | Simon Says Stamp

December 1, 2024

Hello Crafty friends!!!!!! I am super excited to celebrate DieCember® with Simon Says Stamp!!!!!! We are ready to celebrate with an AMAZING blog party! You can find all the details for this epic party over on the Simon Says Stamp blog!

For my first project I am sharing 2 handmade tags using the beautiful new Whirl Nordic Medallion! I love all the Whirl dies and this one is just beautiful! These were so fun and easy to put together! I started by die cutting the whirl medallion on Canson XL watercolor cardstock. I cut 5 medallions all together. Next I placed the medallions on my work surface and spritzed each medallion with Distress Mica Stain in Winterfrost. I set these aside to dry. Once they were dry I added paper glaze for added shine and texture. I applied the glaze with my finger.

Next I chose some holiday pattern paper from my stash. I die cut the paper using Nesting Circle dies. I die cut an additional layer using plain cardstock for each circle. I then adhered all the circle layers together using lliquid glue. I then added Distress Oxide Ink and Distress Ink to the edges of each circle.

Next I dry embossed the smaller circle for each tag using an Altenew embossing folder. I then darkened the textures using Distress Ink. I then adhered the layers of the tags together, as well as added the Whirl Nordic Medallions. Once all the layers were adhered, I added twine for the top of the tag, as well as sentiments from my stash. I added a few Simon Says Stamps gems to the center of each snowflake as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I am excited to share with you a special promotion for the party today!

Customers who spend $100 or more on DieCember® release products will receive our exclusive Fancy Ornaments embossing folder and die set. The free gift will be automatically added to their cart once they meet the dollar amount requirement. It’s a retail value of $24.99!

Hello crafty friends!!!! Today I am back to share Hello crafty friends!!!! Today I am back to share a page in my journal using the beautiful collection from @sizzix and @vickiboutin 🦋🦋🦋🦋

For today’s project I started by creating the background using stencils from both of the Buildables stencil sets! Then I stamped the leaves and butterflies and embossed them with clear powder. I then added texture to the background using white paste through a stencil and once dry,  I added Gold Luster Wax over areas of the paste.  I then layered the leaves, cheesecloth, a small tag, and an edger to create the focal point! 
I completed the page by inking the edges, splatters, and a small sentiment!
