Hi crafty friends! I am thrilled to be joining Simon Says stamp on Day 2 of the Fun and Festive Blog hop. Have you checked out the new Fun and Festive release yet?? So many great stamps, dies and stencils for all of your holiday crafting. You should have arrived here from the blog of the super talented Kristina Pokazanieva . To see all the stops on the hop, scroll down below or start at the Simon Says Stamp Blog HERE. If you haven't noticed in the banner above, there is a special CODE to add to your order to get a free Festive Stickles!!! This offer is only valid until 10/14 at 11:59 pm EST.
For this release I received the Snowflake Tags Wafer Dies and the Tiny Words Christmas stamps:
I decided to create some mini 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 inch cards using these dies and stamps. They are perfect tiny note to give with a holiday gift! I cut each tag from watercolor paper, then inked them up with Distress Oxides. Then I stamped a tiny sentiment onto each one using Archival Jet Black ink. I inlaid silver flakes cut from glitter paper into each tag then covered each one with a white flake and coordinating drop of Nuvo drops. The backgrounds were created with silver ink and the Diagonal Stripes die.
If you have created something with the new release, be sure to add it to the Fun and Festive Gallery over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog so everyone can be inspired by your creations!!! Your next stop on the hop is the wonderfully creative Mindy Baxter...for the full hop order see below.

Great cards! I love the look of tags, but I don't generally have much use for them as tags. This is a very clever way to showcase them. Thanks for the inspiration.

These cards are so beautiful! Love the watercolor backgrounds!
Posted by: Elaine Cook | October 12, 2018 at 11:37 PM
Wow, each card is the same but it's different. They are all tags & they all have the same snowflakes but that's where it changes. You used a different color for each background & a different colored dot for the middle of each snowflake. I love it! I am going to try doing that with my snowflake punch. Thanks for showing us your pretty, colorful cards & for giving us the chance to win something.
Posted by: Gail Plaskiewicz | October 13, 2018 at 12:07 AM
