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:

Absolutely GORGEOUS card, Yana! Love the gold mirror cardstock so much…it works perfectly with your design!
Love the way you embossed and then added the die cut image over it. I will be trying that one. Great cards. Thanks.
Not only a beautiful card, but a terrific video. I am subscribing to your YT channel as well and sharing this video for sure! I loved how you embossed using the die and then inlaid the di cut in that space, it looks so elegant and special. Also liked your trick for using the pink fun foam with the glitter tape hiding the color. Thanks for all the ideas and inspiration.
Both your cards are beautiful and I love the idea of laying the die-cut over its embossed image to provide a little depth. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!
Beautiful! Your embossing and then die cutting idea was inspired! Thanks for sharing.
I just love that die–my favorite product in the release! Thanks for showing how gorgeous it is in gold!
Gorgeous cards–I love all your cool tips, using washi tape to disguise your color of foam, I’m definitely going to use that one!
So elegant and pretty. Thank you!
You have showcased this die perfect! Lovely work!
I fell in love with this die too, Yana … your cards are beautiful … there’s such a wonderful magical look about them! Anita 🙂
Great use of the music die. Thanks for sharing how you incorporated embossing with the die. I liked how it looked together.
How elegant in gold, really beautiful!
I like the way the snowflake is inlayed but also outlined in your card, it gives it the pop that is unique. Love it.
Very pretty cards! I love white and gold for Christmas…so much that it is the color scheme of my tree every year.
Loved your video,I didn’t see the thumbs up option and I didn’t want to go searching for the video on you tube.I like how you showed us how to get the image of the die to sink into the paper,nice idea!! You asked what product we liked best for this tutorial,wow !!! That’s not easy as they were all cool and needed to complete this card but having to pick one I’d say the die, because without that there wouldn’t be the card. Thanks so much!!
Wonderful card and love the embossiing and layering of the notes on top. You are so talented.
Three words – SIMPLE, STUNNING, ELEGANT.
Beautiful cards!!
Very gorgeous and elegant. Will have to watch your video later (have to go to work pretty soon – ugh!). Looking forward to seeing how you did this …
Your die cutting techniques always amaze me. Gorgeous Cards!
