Hello and good morning!! September has STAMPtember but December has DieCember!! Simon Says Stamp is kicking off an exciting month with a brand new DieCember release! Here’s a quick look at all the fabulous new products!

I’ve got lots to share this month but I’m starting off with a video and a second card using two of my favorite products from this release: the Big Picture Book Otter and the Deco Heart!
You can watch the video below or at my YouTube channel here.
To start I die-cut the soft navy cardstock using the Tickle Breeze die from a past SSS release! I die-cut it three times to resemble bubbles in a ocean background. Then I die-cut the Big Picture Book Otter using oatmeal cardstock from WPlus9, black, and kraft cardstock from Simon Says Stamp. I blended the edges of the otter using tea dye, gathered twigs, ground espresso, and worn lipstick distress oxide inks.
Then I adhered soft navy background over a piece of silver glitter paper. I adhered the otter using foam mounting tape and tucked a die-cut silver glitter Rina snowflake into his paws. Next I stamped the sentiment from Punny Animals onto cotton candy cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. I die-cut it to a thin label using the Sentiment Label dies. Finally, I added a few accents with a white gel pen, spectrum noir clear sparkle, and nuvo crystal glaze.
My second card uses the gorgeous Deco Heart along with an older stamp that coordinates with it perfectly!
I started by stamping the Center Cut Heart background stamp onto white cardstock (with the center removed) with versamark and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder for a tone on tone look. Then I die-cut the Deco Heart with blue glitter paper. I used liquid adhesive to adhere it to the center of the panel and it fits perfectly!
Then I die-cut the older Kind die with black cardstock three times and adhered them together to form a thicker sentiment. I stamped part of the sentiment from a Tiny Words stamp onto black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. I used the Sentiment Label dies to die-cut it down to a thin label and then adhered it to the card with foam mounting tape. I used liquid adhesive to adhere the word die and that was it! Super quick to put together and you could use a variety of sentiments or word dies to change up the occasion! I just love how that Deco Heart fits in the center of the background stamp!
And that’s it! I’ll be back to share more Sunday but make sure you shop DieCember soon for the best selection! All the products will be restocked but I have a feeling some are sure to sell out this weekend! 😉

Your cards are beautiful. I love the simple heart and saying the best. Classic and elegant with that amazing detail in the die. This whole release is amazing. I just love this time of year, and I am more of a dies than stamps for my style. So just love looking at all the new products. It is so hard to decided. I love the tree and the floral frame, but my favourite has to be that background die holiday knit. northnet7 at yahoo dot ca
Your card is lovely. I love the glittery heart. As to my favorites, it’s hard to say. I really like the mod leaf and poinsettia oval dies but that heart is great too. The knit background die looks like it would be great for Christmas and winter projects.
What an adorable card! I love all of the blending. I really like the outline floral frame. I can just picture all of the cards that I can make with this.

These are so fabulous, especially love the colour of the heart. The Deco Heart die caught my eye straight away, as well as the floral frame and alot of the word dies. Such an amazing release!!! shona.chambers@orcon.net.nz
I love how you showed the versatility of these dies. I really love the skating girl!
Love the darling Otter

I really like the TREE
FRAME Wafer Die!

Jess, this card is SO cute!! There are lots of critters I love, but this otter is definitely one of my favorite dies. I like a bunch of the word dies as well.
Two adorable cards Jess – Love SSS stamps and dies and this release is no exception… so hard to choose just one – I love the Nested Banners dies – so many uses of that one 🙂
Beautiful cards. Love the Otter!
Great cards! Love all of the Critter dies.
Love how you did the belly of your otter. Makes it look like the snowflake is glowing. The otter is so dang cute. I like lots in this release but the floral frame is my very most favorite. Thanks for all of your cute projects. Your heart card turned out nicely, too. beaverly@gmail.com
The otter is just adorable!!!
I really like the Sweet Tulip die. It is so pretty! 🙂 My email is k_dragon16ATyahooDOTcom
The otter card is so cute! (love those colors) The deco heart is very elegant. I think this is a great release. My favorite may be the kitty santa (I can see making ornaments and gift tags!)
Your otter is adorable! Hard to pick one favorite from Diecember, i’ll say the stamp tree frame wafer die! Thanks for the chance to win! bjksnd@yahoo.com
Your otter card is just so adorable. Wonderful job distressing/blending the outside. I just received my Life Changing Brushes and can’t wait to use them. I just love the DieCember release and I placed an order Friday, but I didn’t include the Big Picture Book Latte Wafer Die and wish I had.
I love love the book die. There are so many items from this release that I want guess I love it all. I really think your otter card is so darling would love to make a couple for my younger grandsons who just happen to love their Grandma Pam’s cards. pamelaselinski@gmail.com.
I think the Otter is the one that has my heart this release!
Love the variety of cards. My favorite is the card made with the deco heart and the word kind. Simple, but striking!
That otter is just precious and the center cut heart make a lovely focal point. My faves are the outline floral frame and the two oval frames. Thanks for the chance.

So cute! I like the background die.
Your cards are fabulous! I have a couple of things that tie for my favourite. The first is the Hand Knit background die, & the other one is the Deco Heart Die, but of course, I’d also have to purchase the previously released Centre Heart Stamp. yikes…
I just love your otter card!!!! Utterly adorable 😉
I love the Otter. You did a beautiful job to make him so real. Love your coloring. Amazing.
The cards are so cute! So many beautiful new designs it’s hard to choose just one, but I’ll go with the Holiday Knit.
