Hello and welcome to Simon Says Stamp DieCember® release blog hop! Its Day #2 of the blog hop. Check out Day #1 blog hop here. So excited about the 33 new dies and the glitter cardstocks released. what can I say? It is Gorgeous! You can find all the gorgeous new products here.I am so grateful to be sent a few and I am excited to share with you a project using couple of them.
I am showcasing Arched Stitching Borders die set and the Script Hello die.
The border dies are so pretty especially when they are used together. I started with smooshing distress oxide inks in rainbow colours on watercoloured papers to create textured coloured panels. I used Candied Apple, Wild Honey, Spiced marmalade, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet. Then I used the two Arched Stitching Borders dies alternatively to die cut the panels. Then I layered the panels glued them in rainbow order. I trimmed the panels to the size of the card front as I adhered each panel. If you layer them all, it is very hard to cut the thick layer of watercoloured cardstocks. So trim as you go.
I adhered the layered panels on Fog card base. Finally I die cut the shadow of the Script Hello die using black cardstock and three Script Hellos using white cardstock. I stacked glued the hellos and adhered on top of the shadow die cut. This sentiment is adhered on top of the Candied Apple layer as shown. Then I embellished the card front using Moonstone sequins and topped the sequins with some Nuvo Jewel Drops in rainbow colours.
I let the details of the arched stitched border dies with the rainbow colours be the highlight of the card by keeping everything else on the card simple. Love love the alternate zig zag and scallop borders with the stitched details.

I love the texture you were able to get with the distress oxides! I’m looking forward to getting some for Christmas! 😀
Beautiful! And great tutorial. Thanks!
Gayatri, I am pleased to see another designer using one of the curved dies in their design. I love rainbow colours put together and with a large sentiment it just makes this ‘pop’. I too, have started adhering at least 3 or 4 layers of a sentiment on top of each other in order to give this dimension. I have only recently purchased a bottle of black Nuvo drops (I love them though) and I need to add more to my stash from what I see from the effect you have got with other colours on your design.
Such a colorful and beautiful card! I love those arched border dies and layered together the way you made it is so stunning! Thanks for the inspiration!
The dies seem to be really versatile. Thanks for the great example.
