Simon Says Stamp DieCember® Blog Hop Day-2

Hello, there!

I'm so honored to be joining the Simon Says Stamp Dicember®  Blog Hop Day 2, today. Thank you for inviting me to this party, Simon Team. 

As this is Day 2 of Blog Hop, we already had Blog Hop Day 1, last Sunday.  Please be sure to visit the Day 1 Blog Hop Post if you haven't done so far. 

I'm especially excited about the Diecember Release since I'm a Dies person rather than a stamper. I started my crafting journey by purchasing a Big Shot machine a few years ago after I was amazed by so many beautiful paper crafting works. Honestly I even hadn't known stamps before then, lols !! 

So, which one do you prefer between Dies and Stamps? Please let me know!! :) 

If you came here from amazing Karin's  blog, then you are on a right track. Or you can start your hops at Simon Says Stamp Blog , too. 

I started by diecutting Big Picture Book Panda Dies and Little Body Dies out of Ivory Card Stock and coloring the pieces using my Copic Markers. The copic colors I used were W10-W9-W8 for black and R32-R20-R30-R00 for pink. I then assembled the pieces to an adorable panda by using double sided adhesive tape.

For the background, I used Stitched Whirl Background Dies & Lawn Fawn paper 6×6, Leafy Frame Dies & Ivory Card Stock.  I then slipped a heart I made using Clipping Heart Die on his hands. I really love how Little Body Dies let our critters hold things on their hands . Too cute, isn't it?

I made more hearts and connected them with a string to make a garland. For letters, I used Small Rounded Alphabet Dies set which is also part of new Dicember® release. 

Here's another design featuring Little Body Dies which perfectly matches with any of Big Picture Book critters. I used Fox Dies from Simon's STAMPtember Release.

Supplies : Winter Scene Stamp set, s, Christmas Icons Dies, Winterberry 6×6, Lawn Fawn paper 6×6, Wonky Rectangles Dies, Wavy Scallop Stitches, Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix, Critter Huggers Winter add-on.
