Simon Says Stamp Holiday Essentials Die Card

  



This is such a beautiful new die set from Simon Says Stamp, called Holiday Baking Essentials Die set


I added the Spellbinder's Tear Drop circle die, with my Platinum 6. The sentiment was a die from The Stamp Market, "Holiday Greetings" that came out seasons ago. The pattern paper is Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid and I used all of the sheets that I had left. Love the retro feel of them to add so much to the cards! The last and yet the first thing I did was add all of my red Rickrack in my stash, from mini to medium widths. I love my stash!!

As for the details, I did add shading with the following Copic Markers: C1,C3,E33,E35,R22,R30. I added Ranger Christmas Red Stickles and Nuvo drops in Cream for the cookie. Glitter paper for the sentiment. My new MISTI Glue Gun came from SSS with its fine tip to use just enough glue and not overflow too much. LOVE that newest tool! 35 cards were made in total!

Prima Marketing double page layout




 This was an act of love making this fun double page layout. I used everything I had laying around. 10 companies of products are on this page at least! It is of Passau, Germany where we just walked around the town and took in all of the fun shops and sites. The above pic is Cafe Simon and the heir to the company, Walter Simon. He was in the shop the day I returned. So on this day, I showed him my layout with his pic from my phone, of a previous layout and he was thrilled! So of course I then had another pic taken of him and myself. What a wonderful bakery and guy!! Hope to come back yet again. Delicious gingerbread!
This layout is one of an album from our Viking Grand European River Cruise.

Graphic 45 Enchanted Forest with Die Cuts with a view Castle and Knight




 



We scrapbookers hang on to things!! I purchased these old Die Cuts with a View (DCWV) Castle and Silver Knight recently from a lady's garage sale. I knew that I had gone to the museum at the Bishop's Residence in Passau, Germany and thought that they would be great on my page for that. Unfortunately, I had ton more pics that didn't make the cut including the ones of the armor which was present in the museum. Great use to remind me of what we saw there though there weren't pics on the page. I used the Graphic 45 Enchanted Forest collection so as to keep the theme with most of the towns of Germany having that connection.

Prima Marketing Urban Cosmos Hurricane Layout

 








Using Prima Urban Cosmos collection from 2007, I made this double layout about Hurricane Milton clean up in October 2024. The papers are Ethnic, Suburb, and Metro. I cut the Ethnic and Suburb into circles 1/2 inch different sizes with my Creative Memories Large circle maker using the blue blade and then tracing the inner circle and fussy cutting it out. I then ripped the edges and turned them up to add texture. I tore the remaining left over pieces to small slivers into strips to place where the other smaller pics were. I cut the title on my Cricut Explore using the Birthday Bash cartridge on Design Space. I glued it all together and very happy with it. Hoping to not have to do another hurricane layout for a while
