DieCember® Blog Hop with Simon Says Stamp!

December 2, 2018

DieCember® Blog Hop with Simon Says Stamp!

Welcome to DieCember® at Simon Says Stamp! (Yes, this is my first official DieCember participation and yes, I’m happy to join in the die cutting fun!)

Cardmaking at cathyzielske.com

Today we’re celebrating with a blog hop featuring some of the newest die releases from Simon Says Stamp. I created a simple card featuring the brand new Sweet Tulip die and one of the banners from the Nested Banners Set. I decided to create a sympathy/support card, and take a wee break from all of the holiday cardmaking of late.

Check out my video to see how I created this simple card project:

WHILE SUPPLIES LAST: Simon is giving away a free Nutty & Bright stamp set with any purchase if you use the code: DCMBR27 at checkout! Code expires on Sunday, December 9 at 11:59 EST.

BLOG HOP DETAILS: Check out all the inspiration today as you follow along on the hop! Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon at every stop along the hop. Winners will be chosen from the comments section of each blog and the winners will be posted on the Simon blog on Wednesday, December 12. Here are the designers in today’s hop!

The delicate colours are just made to pop by using that gorgeous pink as your card base and for the sentiment. Am loving all the new dies for the release, but December isn’t a good month for that, LOL! Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas. TFS. Love your work.
