Hello all and thank you for joining us as we celebrate the new mini product release from Simon Says Stamp called From All Of Us. Yay!
There’s a fun giveaway at the bottom of this post, but before that I wanted to share a little bit about my favorite product from this launch – its the Jingle Snowflake. I think I have fallen in love with this one and at first I had no idea how to use it, but after I cut it the first time I was so desperately hooked, I’m telling you, lol!
Here’s a look at the card I made using the new goodies:
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
Before cutting the Jingle Snowflake out of Gold Mirror Cardstock I first embossed it onto my pearlescent white cardstock panel. I wanted to create some additional dimension and interest for my project, so I went with embossing. You can emboss just about any die with the help of an embossing mat, its super easy to do (watch my video below to see how).
My cardstock cracked in a few spots, but its okay, I could have spritzed it with water to help the fibers of the paper move and prevent them from breaking and cracking, but I knew I’d be placing my gold die cut on top, so that didn’t bother me at all.
I also heat embossed a Happy Holidays from All of Us sentiment in gold embossing powder and added a gold Believe sticker from American Crafts, love how it tied everything together.
Here’s another card I made using the Jingle Snowflake die. I did an ink smooched background on watercolor paper using Distress inks and added my gold die cut on top:
I have a video tutorial showing you how to do the embossing and make the first card:

What a beautiful card. I really like the embossing technique.
The jingle snowflake is a winner! Love it!
beautiful cards – love the idea of embossing and inlaying the diecut – thanks for sharing
Gold on white or white on white cards always seem so elegant. My fav!
thanks for the inspiration
Oh, this die is so pretty and so are your cards! Just love the white and gold!
I really love your card! That extra step of embossing really makes it pop!
beautiful card, I love how you embossed first and then put the gold die cut on top. And the trick with the washi tape is great because I have all kinds of colors and now I can cover them up!
Beautiful card, Yana, and I loved the little cardmaking tips you make along the way. I love using foam but I had never thought about using washi tape to disguise. No I might have to go and buy some washi!
Beautiful cards.
absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful, beautiful cards! I loved that die the minute I saw it, but now after doing the hop, I really MUST have it. Thanks for showing us how to emboss with dies – opens up a ton of possibilities!
Love this die! And the use of foil and embossing is brilliant! Clean and simple but incredibly elegant!
Beautiful, beautiful cards! I really MUST have that die now. Thanks for showing us how to use dies to emboss.

Awesome card! I love the emboss and die cut idea. Thanks for sharing!
How pretty is that die cut in GOLD!!!! Great cards
The die in gold is beautiful and it was nice to see it used in more than one day, each very different. Thank you.
Two beautiful CAS cards!
Beautiful card. Your dry embossing the die was very clever. Attaching the die cut on top of that…even better.
Love the white and gold. So elegant. And that die is gorgeous.
I love the combination embossing/diecut technique. I also like your save the day by covering your pink fun foam. Thinking about a variation on that using a deliberate offset with the foam. Thanks.
So pretty. Love it!
Love that jingle-snowflake die! Beautiful in gold!
love the gold and white cards, simple and classy
Great ideas. Lovely cards.
