Simon Says Stamp DieCember 2025 Release Blog Hop Day 1

It’s the most exciting event on the Simon Says Stamp Calender … DieCember® ! Welcome to the first of 2 blog hops – be sure to check out the second one tomorrow! You can win a $25 credit for the Simon Says Stamp store for leaving a comment – good luck!

I look forward to this all year and am so happy to be sharing 4 cards created with some of the awesome products in this release.

The first card uses the Fawn Surprise Embossing Folder – how cute are those wee deers?! I ran the folder through with Distress Watercolour Card and then used Distress Watercolour Pencils to colour the image. I used a new die called Pointy Pine Branch to add a little greenery to the corner and finished it off with a Ez Strip Vintage Christmas Sentiments.

The next card also features the Lawn Surprise embossing folder with the Nested Stitched Oval Dies. I decided to leave it uncoloured and added highlights with glitter. I added some Pointy Pine Branch die cuts and mounted it onto the panel embossed and inked using the Dotted Spiral Embossing Folder.

My next card features the Nested Stitched Oval dies with the Pointy Pine Branch. This time I embossed a panel using the Bundled Swag Embossing folder. I embellished it with the Loopy Bow die and the Pointy Pine Branch die cuts.

My final offering features more Pointy Pine Branch die cuts with the gorgeous Sweet Songbird dies. I pulled out a background panel I created a while ago and arranged the songbird dies and the branch die cuts along with a foiled sentiment using the EZ Strips Vintage Christmas.

Hope you enjoyed seeing some ways to use some of the new products from the DieCember release. Enjoy the rest of the hop!
