Folk Dance Die from SSS Friendly Frolic New Release…

Hi everyone!  AWESOME new release up at Simon Says Stamp!  They sent me the Folk Dance die to create with…here’s what I came up with this time around!

I die cut a piece of copy paper to make a stencil…

Used the stencil to ink up a card panel with Picked Raspberry and Peeled Paint  Distress Oxide Inks and the mini ink blending tools. Sprinkled on Clear Embossing powder and heat set.

Then I die cut a card panel of 110# Neenah Solar White and layered/glued it over the top of the inked panel.

Tied on some pink twine…glued that to a top folded card base.

Die cut a Double Stitch Rectangle from poppystamps…inked the interior cut with Peeled Paint Oxide ink…

Die cut SSS Painted Thanks die two dies from the same white and glued them together and mounted them to the rectangle with mounting tape.

Have fun checking out the NEW RELEASE HERE!  

A big thanks for visiting my blog today and thanks for your wonderful comments too!  I appreciate them so much and love hearing from you!

My cards for Simon Says Stamp ‘Making Spirits Bright’ Release!

Hello!  Did you hear the excitement in my hello?!  lol  ‘Making’ cards for Christmas gets me ALL excited and giddy with all the new product!  How to make and shop at the same time!  It is hard! lol

When this die arrived in the mail I was so happy this is what SSS sent me!  I love it!  In my first card, I combined it with the RyLynn Snowflake and a sentiment from Inside Holiday Greetings.

I got out some Distress Oxide ink pads and started smooshing.  It’s one of those come back after a layer dries and add another layer.  I just started another card while I was waiting!

I love these dies with the larger outline cut and the intricate word to layer in the outer cut.  I think you know what I mean… whew. lol  I’m not so great at describing things sometimes!  The Distress Oxide layer has the large ‘hole’ cut in it.  I die cut a piece of craft foam with the large die too and adhered it behind so the silver falala would be down in the hole.

I love how festive and non-traditional this turned out!

My next card…well, I love it too!  CAS, white and so sparkly festive!

American Crafts glitter paper…I like it!  It’s a really nice weight and die cuts perfectly!  Here I didn’t use craft foam behind the top layer but you still get enough dimension to show the beauty of the die.

The sentiment is from the Holiday Message Strips stamp set and poppystamps Holly Leaves and Berries dies are all the embellishment this card needed to keep it CAS.

I’m so excited for this release!  You can see all of it HERE at Simon Says Stamp.  What do you think?  I can’t wait to see it all myself! lol  I see some snowmen that need to come to my house!!!  and pine looking something back there!  eek!

Thanks so much for stopping by and listening to me go crazy over Christmas creating!  We are having so much fun, aren’t we stampers?!  I hope you are. If you want to swap Christmas cards, drop me an email! I love getting cards from stampers!
