I am thrilled and so excited to be a part of today's Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop over at the Simon Blog, celebrating Simon's latest release, DieCember®! DieCember® is a registered Simon name for this release, that happens every December 1st, and is a month long celebration of dies and die cutting! I have used four of the wonderful new birthday dies to make three rainbow colored birthday cards to share with you today!...
Birthday cards are a staple of cardmaking, and this release has some wonderful birthday dies to make some sweet birthday cards!! This first one, I used the very cool Bunch of Balloons and It's Your Birthday dies. I used a rainbow of cardstock scraps for the balloons, layered the balloon borders and tucked them behind a layered sentiment. I used my white gel pen to give accents to the balloons. I used a piece of polka dotted paper from my large stash of papers for the background. Here'a a close up...
The second one, I used the sweet Party Candle die to make another rainbow filled birthday card...
I die cut the candles from a rainbow of cardstock pieces, popped up each candle with sticky foam, and added a stamped, die cut sentiment over them. I brushed the small flames with my wink of stella brush for some glimmer and shine, and popped up the whole panel on the card. Here's a close up...
My last card, I made with the cute Birthday Candles die...
I die cut the candles and made their stripes a rainbow. I layered the candles and used black cardstock for a more striking background. I used a couple CZ Design sentiments that I thought went perfectly with these cute candles. I, again, brushed the candle flames with my wink of stella marker. Here's a close up...
I've had such great fun making my cards, but the fun is just beginning for you!
