Let's get to today's project featuring THREE Dies from this release, shall we?
(all product links are highlighted in colors like this)
My first card is a scene card. I don't create scene cards often, but with the lovely Window Frame Die, I was able to create the scene with Merry and Bright effortlessly.
I started out with die-cutting the window and then did the Inlaid DieCutting.
Basically, you die cut each piece out and then fit the piece back to its place like a puzzle.

Once I did that, I started the mask-stamping with the snowman and tress.
I had a hard time to find a proper spot for my sentiment. So, I came up with a solution and added a window sign. "Happy Christmas" now looks like it's written on a chalk board! Yes? 😊
The "snow effect" was created with White Nuvo Drops.

My 2nd card showcased this funky and lovely Loop The Loop Die.
I stamped the sentiment Merry Christmas in multi colors with the help of MISTI.

I layered two dies and left the colorful one in tact (without taking the negative dies out).
Last but certainly not the least, the following is my favorite from this release!

CORBEL CURVED BORDER Wafer Dies s494 Diecember
This die is absolutely amazing, isn't it?
It is so versatile that I decided to used it on an angle.
I stamped Floral Bliss in Distress Oxide and colored it with Wink of Stella (Clear).
The Tonic Ivory Bouquet pattern paper and the Border Die are perfect together!
I also added a touch of glitter on top with DCWV Glitter Metallic.
The Tonic Nuvo Golden Sunset Crystal Drops are ideal for adding small droplets of golden goodness.

Good grief...look at all these wonderful card.

Gorgeous cards!
Love Love your cards.

Such fun and colorful cards!
lovely and so creative, Virginia!
Beautiful! And great tutorial. Thanks!
Beautiful cards. The color is wonderful. The border dies are so pretty and that paper is awesome.
All your cards today are great, I am in love with your 2nd one. Those colors are great and beautiful on the sentiment. Thanks for this great inspiration.
Gorgeous cards! I love how you used the Loop the Loop border and made it look like a string of Christmas lights across the card! All of your cards turned out wonderful!
I love the loop to loop die. The use of that was great. Very simple but impactful card. Great job.
Wow Virginia three very different designs showing off some of Simon Says Stamps newly released dies. I am a new crafter so did not know about this event. I only dropped onto it because I watch Laura Bassen
Nichol Spohr video tutorials now. I am glad you have used the stitched window die Virginia because I feel this can be incorporated in a variety of different themes of cards throughout the year. Then the loopy edge die (well what can I say) this is spectacular but I wouldn't have thought of doing as you did on your design, but it is a great effect with the coloured one behind the white plain one at the front. Finally, the Corbel Curved Border which is so pretty, I love how you have put this at an angle on the portrait layout. I have never come across the Tonic Ivory Bouquet pattern paper before but it is beautiful, something else I think I will need to build into my stash eventually. Thank you for demonstrating your skills through these Simon Says Stamps products. :O)
I love the Merry christmas card!
Great cards. I especially love the colorful Merry Christmas one.
I really love that floral card and the delicate, lacy design!
When I saw your Loop the Loop Border die card, what came to mind was Christmas lights! Love all of your cards today and the amazing dies you used to create them.

Wonderful cards - am looking forward to experimenting with the glitter paper and anything snowflake!
My favorite is the Merry Christmas rainbow! Who says it has to be only red and green?
