Simple Stem Two Ways

I have used the Simon Says Stamp Simple Stem die from the DieCember® release to make two simply designed cards, showing the versatility of this pretty die!  I've made one for Christmas time, and the second for anytime! 

I die cut and layered the leaves of this pretty die with two shades of paint chips.  I dotted the leaves with with enamel dots that I had colored red with a sharpie marker.  Then I brushed the leaves with my Wink of Stella glitter marker for some Christmas bling!  I used an older Simon sentiment stamp that I thought fit the length of the die, and made me happy!  Here's a close up...

The second one, I opted to use a rainbow of colors to fill in the leaves and make a card to bring happy to whoever I send it to...

I filled in the leaves like the first one, and instead of glitter, I used my Tonic drops and dotted some of the leaves, and outside the die cut for other dots.  I used another longer sentiment die, that has become one of my favorites during these times!!  Here's a close up...

I won't be posting until after Christmas...so for those of you who celebrate  this wonderfilled day, I hope you have a very merry Christmas!!  I'll see you after the 25th!!

Thank you so much for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
