To celebrate this Blog Hop, you have the chance to win $25 in Store Credit! Let’s get started!

First of all! If you ended up here from Michelle Langley’s blog then you are on track. This is your final stop. To start the blog hop from the beginning you can go to Simon Says Stamps blog. Have fun and discover the beauties that my teammates have made for you for this release!
Let’s get started with this blog hop! For this occasion, I prepared three cards. I’m IN LOVE with this release.
For today’s card, I used:
- Simon Says Clear Stamps Merry 1297msc
- Simon Says Stamp Embossing Folder Snowy Hillside sf558
- Simon Says Stamp Merry Cover Die Plate 1437mdc
- Simon Says Stamp A Child Is Born Wafer Dies 1489sd
- Simon Says Stamp Frosty Tree Trio Wafer Die s1082
- Simon Says Stamps and Dies Merry Cover set1096mc
*** Product list – HERE ***

FAITH AND HOPE CARD:
- Die-cut the outline once from white cardstock.
- Die-cut the same design from your colored papers and keep all interior pieces. Also die-cut from silver foil to use the star (and any accents).
- Create backers: cut an arch backer from vellum and a slightly larger one from silver glitter to form a narrow halo.
- Assemble the “stained glass”: adhere the white outline to thin scrap cardstock, inlay the colored pieces, and add the silver star.
- Glue the vellum behind the glitter backer.
- Add dimension: back the finished framed piece with foam and center it directly on the A2 card base. No extra front panel used.
- Hot-foil the sentiment with the Spellbinders plate in silver on a slim strip; attach near the lower edge with thin foam.
- Finish: press, align, done—clean lines, soft shimmer, and all the focus on that beautiful window.



MERRY CHRISTMAS CARD:
- Die-cut the frame: cut the “Merry Cover” once from white cardstock for the top layer.
- Build the dimension stack: die-cut the same cover 2–3 times from white cardstock. Glue the cardstock layers together, align edges, then glue the white cardstock layer on top.
- Optional vellum buffer: trim a vellum panel slightly smaller than A2 and adhere it to the card base. This softens the look and separates the stack from the base.
- Adhere the stack: center the layered “Merry Cover” on the base (on top of the vellum if using).
- Color inlays: die-cut the cover from each colored cardstock; inlay the M/E/R/R/Y interiors into the openings. Press flat.
- Stamp the sub-sentiment: stamp “CHRISTMAS” in black on a white strip; trim and adhere (pop with thin foam if you want a little lift).
- Finish: add a few silver stars done—bold, dimensional, and merry without overthinking it.



COZY WISHES CARD:
- Emboss the background: run the white panel through the Snowy Hillside folder. Adhere the embossed panel to the A2 base (flat or with thin foam).
- Die-cut the trees. cut the Frosty Tree Trio once from green cardstock (choose two shades) and once from white glitter cardstock.
- Layer the trees. glue glitter die-cuts over the green ones, slightly offset or trimmed so the glitter reads as snowy caps.
- Add chunky “snow»: tap embossing ink on select branches and tops, sprinkle Ultra High powder, and heat from below until glossy and dimensional.
- Arrange and adhere: cluster the trees near the lower third; adhere flat or with thin foam for depth.
- Sentiment: add a slim “Warm & Cozy Wishes” strip across the trunks (pop it up if desired).
- Finish: dot on a few silver stars, burnish edges, done—quiet texture, cozy layers, winter magic.
