SSS STAMPtember Blog Hop...

Hey there, friends!  Today is a super fun day over at Simon Says Stamp!  It's time for the STAMPember Blog Hop!  There are SO many new goodies and I have some adorable new Christmas dies to share with you today.  If you want to start at the beginning of the hop, head on over to the Simon Blog for a full list of stops.  If you are already following along, you should have come here from Lucy's blog.  She is one amazing lady and I can't wait to see what she has whipped up for us today!

I have 2 cards for you today.  This first card features the new Holiday Frames die.  I adore this polaroid style die, because the possibilities with this die are endless.  I have a super easy Christmas Photo card made up for today....



I cut out the die in some Neehah Cardstock and then trimmed my photo to match.  I used foam tape to pop the frame up to give it some dimension.  I added in some glitter tape along the bottom and then added in a Maryanne Snowflake die I cut out of vellum.  I added in a doodlebug glitter dot for a little extra detail.  The background is made up of Simon Says Stamp Lipstick Red, Green Leaf and Sea Glass card stocks.  I cut each into 1/2" strips and then glued them to a white panel.  I added that panel to the white card base using foam tape.  (all products linked below)

For this next card, I used 2 new dies.  The Christmas Blessings die and the Deco Tree die.  

First, I stamped the background using the Wide Stripes Background stamp and some Simon Says Stamp Fog ink.  I cut the Christmas Blessings out of some gold card stock and layered it up with the Deco Tree die.  I added in some doodlebug patterned paper behind the tree and cut out too, for a pop of color.  (All products linked below)

The little spirals on the tree are not glued down and I love the look!  Like little springs.  I also glued down the sentient in a few random places just to give it a little more of a 3D look.  

So that is it for me today.  Are you in the mood to make some Christmas cards now?  Or how about win some stuff to make some fun Christmas cards?  :)
