Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 and Honey Bee Stamps Collaboration

Hello friends!  If you know about STAMPtember®, you also know that there are daily surprises like this collaboration between Simon Says Stamp and Honey Bee Stamps!  Today's collab is this awesome Holly Jolly Frames and the Holly Jolly Frames dies that I've used for my card here!

These are available only while supplies last and will not be restocked.  Most collabs sell out quickly so grab it now if you like it!  There are four frames and inner circle dies, 11 sentiments, and five holiday images in this collab set with Simon Says Stamp and Honey Bee Stamps!

Here's a peek at the Holly Jolly Frames stamp and dies:

I kept this card simple and elegant by stamping the Holly Jolly Frames images with clear embossing ink.  Then I sprinkled on this beautiful gold embossing powder and heat set it.  Then I cut out the images with the coordinating dies.

I cut white cardstock into a 2-¾" square.  Using my MISTI, I planned on where to stamp the sentiment.  I repeated the steps for the gold heat embossing.

I created a coordinating gold-edged layer for the white square by swiping the clear embossing ink pad around the edges of a 3" square, adding the gold embossing powder, and heat setting it.  I glued this behind the white square.

I cut pieces of foam tape to adhere behind the frame to pop it up.  I did the same for the berries/leaves image.

I embossed white cardstock with this beautiful Snowflake embossing folder.  I glued it to my A2 card base and then glued the Holly Jolly Frames panel to the card.

So easy to make, yet so elegant!  I love this look!  Be sure to grab the Holly Jolly Frames before it sells out!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp 2026 STAMPtember® & Alex Syberia Designs Collaboration

Hello friends!  If you know about STAMPtember®, you also know that there are daily surprises like this awesome Lovely Day stamp and die set that I've used for my card here!

These are available only while supplies last and will not be restocked.  Most collabs sell out quickly so grab it now if you like it!  I love this beautiful floral image from the collab set with Simon Says Stamp and Alex Syberia Designs!  I had so much fun having a coloring session to make this!

Here's a peek at the Lovely Day product images:

I stamped this sweet floral from the Lovely Day stamp set with Copic marker safe ink.  After I colored it with my markers, I cut it out with the coordinating die.   There are two separate small flower stamps in the set that I colored and die cut too.  However, I totally forgot to put them on the card!  Duh.  LOL!

I topped the A2 card base front with this beautiful Delicate Frame & Friend die set.  I die cut the frame three times from white cardstock.  I glued the layers together and then to the card.

I used foam tape to attach the Lovely Day floral to the card.  There are two sentiments in this stamp set that also have coordinating dies.  I love that!

Be sure to head to Simon's shop on their website to check out this gorgeous set!  Thank you very much for stopping by today!

I have several cards to share with you today all featuring new crafty goodies from Simon Says Stamp!

First up is this sweet Halloween card that features the new Little Pumpkin House die set and the Fable Friendly Foxes embossing folder.

To begin, I die cut orange, green, and brown cardstocks with the dies in the adorable Little Pumpkin House die set.  I used ink blending brushes a coordinating inks to add shading to each piece.

Then I embossed white cardstock with the Fable Friendly Foxes embossing folder.  After trimming it to 4-¼" x 4" I glued it to an A2 card base.  I added two narrow strips of green and orange cardstock just below the embossed panel.  (I have all of the cardstock and other supplies linked in my list below.)

To finish up, I used thin foam adhesive to adhere the Little Pumpkin House to my card.

Then I stamped a simple sentiment from the Trick Or Treat stamp set with black pigment ink.


Next up is this card that features the new Layering Christmas Tree stamp set.

I stamped two of the Layering Christmas Trees onto panels of white cardstock that measure 1-¾" x 3-¾".  I used two shades of green inks.  I used gold metallic pigment ink to stamp the trees' stars.

Next I inked up the edges of two 2" x 4" panels with gold pigment ink by swiping the ink pad directly onto the paper.  I glued the stamped Christmas Trees panels to the layers.

There's a stamp in this set for the round ornaments.  I stamped it a few times with the gold metallic ink.  I don't have the coordinating Layering Christmas Trees dies so I used a hole punch to cut out the smallest.  Then I used my scissors to cut out the others.

I glued one of the Layering Christmas Trees panel to my card base that has an embossed layer I made with the Layered Vine embossing folder (previously released).  The other panel is popped up with foam adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment, also in the Layering Christmas Trees stamp set, in black pigment ink and trimmed each one into a strip.  These are also popped up with foam tape.

My final project features one die, the Peace Joy Love cover die, and easily made three cards!

All I needed to do was die cut white cardstock, and gold and silver glitter cardstock panels with the Peace Joy Love die.  I removed all of the letter pieces from the panels and glued the panels to A2 card bases. Then I paper pieced the various back into the openings.

I added a little embellishment to each card with die cuts from the Stitching Holly and Berries die set.
