Simon Says Stamp Season of Wonder Blog Hop + Prizes!
Hi, friends! Happy World Card Making day! I am so excited to have you hop along today. Someone who comments on my blog will win $25 gift card from Simon Says Stamp. Also, don’t forget the exclusive coupon code only good until tomorrow!! Make sure to watch the full tutorial here
For my first card, I wanted to create a card that was easy to mail 📭 to my friends and family.
I used the new Autumn Cascade layered stencil to create a half wreath. Next, I added a beautiful sentiment from a previous release in black ink. Finally, I used the new Rainbow Splash gems. These gems are the lowest profile of any gem stickers that I have seen so they mail easily without increasing the postage. Plus, they add that extra sparkle that really makes this card extra special.
For the next card, I used the new layered stamp set Fresh Air Holiday. This set has a layered tree that is very airy and beautiful. I decided that I would add more Rainbow Splash gem stickers to create a rainbow tree!
These stickers are so fun! It is hard to capture how much they sparkle ✨ Make sure to leave a comment on this post to be entered to win the $25 gift card from Simon Says Stamp. Thank you so much for stopping by! Leave a comment for a chance to win!🥳

Nicki, I really love Simon Says Stamp’s ink and stamps/stencils. The colors are beautiful and the stamps wonderful! I signed up for all your social media. However, I couldn’t download TikTok. I didn’t have enough storage space on my phone. 🙁
Thank you so much! I appreciate you following me on the social medias that you have!
Nicki, I watch a lot of you tube demo’s for card making and I have to say that you are fantastic. You don’t assume I know anything. I love the way you give all the information about what you are doing. You also have a beautiful creative ability and I love everything you do. I have tried making some of your masculine cards for my husband, son in laws and 4 grandsons. Thanks for your inspiration!
This made my day. Thank you so much for such a wonderful compliment! I really appreciate that and I’m so glad you are part of my crafty community
Hi Nicki. I really like your Autumn Cascade wreath card. I think you could color in this stencil for any season of the year. Thank you for mentioning that the gem sticker are low profile. I always worry about my gems ripping the envelope and messing up my card. Also, I like how the Stampwheel holds your stencils. I can’t wait to get one.
Thank you so much! Yes, these are the lowest profile gems that I have come across!
I do appreciate the way that you explain directions. You make the cards easy to understand and very doable. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that 💕
Cute and festive holiday cards.
Wow! Your cards are beautiful! I love all the jewels on the tree!
Great cards! I am all signed up for 12 days of Christmas! Thank you!!❤️❤️
Such great cards! I will have to check out those gems… I’m one of those unfortunate folks with a picky post office so have to be careful with bulk on cards I send!
I love how you used a set “intended” for autumn and tweaked it to make it Christmas themed! It inspires me to get into my own craft stash and look at things a little differently. And while I might personally prefer slightly less bling on mine, I loved that Christmas tree!!
Thank you so much!!💕💕
Great cards, love all the gems!
I love the color scheme, who would have thought cherry and watermelon for Christmas! Also love the “bulbs” on the tree. Cuticles!
What a cute holiday card! Thanks for inspiring us and sharing your talent Nicki!
That card is so good! Love the simple yet bold look.
Darling cards!! I love both!! Fun tutorials too!
Eye-catching colours and arangement.
Pretty cards. I like the low-profile gem stickies.
Very pretty colorful cards! Thanks for sharing!
I love how you use products that are not necessarily holiday and it works!
I love those cards! The way you used the ink makes it look almost 3D printed! The depth is exquisite! I’m new to stamps and I would not have thought of Layering them!
Thank you so much!!
Love this card.
I can’t directly comment on the post. The cards are beautiful.
Beautiful!
Woo hoo – How cute! Nice cards.
Such cute cards!
The cards are so pretty and the colors are very vibrant. Nice to have some single layer cards for easy mailing.
Thank you for the tips and tricks. I am horrible about looking at my supplies for other ideas. But with help maybe I can learn. 🤔
Beautiful cards! Love the curved wreath stencil card.
I can’t directly comment on the post. The cards are beautiful.
On my blog, to prevent spam- I have to approve your comments so that’s why it doesn’t immediately show up. But I have it approved now. 💕💕
What a cool way to use the Autumn Cascade stencil! I love the cards!
Love these cards! Clean & colorful!
I love the Fresh Air Holiday stamp card – it is just so bright and fresh. The rainbow gems just add that burst of colour. Love it!
I like the Autumn Cascade card. It works well using all green leaves and looks like a partial wreath. It would be easy to mass produce for the holidays.
Love the simple, single layer cards especially for mailing..
Great ideas Nicki! Love how you fixed the oops when you were stamping. I am sure I will be using that soon!
Nice cards. Using the same color to add dimension on a single layer stencil really made it pop!
Thank you for all the stencil hints. My fix for the red boo-boo on the leaf would be to add more red tips to some of the other leaves. That way it’s not a mistake anymore.
Great idea!
Beautiful cards! The colors and gems are so festive.
I absolutely adore these cards!
What wonderful beautiful cards! Love how they are easy and fast to make! Thanks for sharing! You helped make my card making a lot easier!
Yay! I’m always so glad to make it easier to create😊😊
Love the clean and simple look of both of these cards. But I especially like the idea of using the Autumn Cascade wreath as a Christmas design.
You always make such pretty cards. Thank you for the chance to win some goodies!
Love the colors and the clean and simple design!
Thank you for the beautiful cards! Love your embellishments!
I love the look of these “simple” holiday cards! Thanks so much for sharing your considerable expertise!
These look lovely!
Just love that bright and airy rainbow tree!
I love how you used the fall stencil for a Christmas card!
The gems you used to decorate the Christmas tree are so clean and modern. It’s truly joyful!
I had to take a second look and compare the card stamps to the stamp set. Seeing the images in green made it look like a different set. Amazing how different stamps look just by using other colors.
These cards are so pretty and festive!
Lovely Christmas card!
Love the CAS look with cheery colors.
Love both of these cards
Love the cards. Colors are fantastic
Simple but pretty designs.
Pretty! The stencil and layered tree stamp give so much dimension, and the embellishments are the perfect finishing touch

Love the autumn stencil for a Christmas card! Brilliant!

Hi Nicki!
I love stencils! They are fun, quick and give such amazing results! Love both of your festive cards! Thanks for the hop and congratulations on 7,000!
Thank you so much!😊
I like both of your cards, but I do have to say that first one really caught my eye! That is a wonderful stencil and that card could be mass produced if you wanted to make a lot of cards very quickly. Love the greens you used for the leaves, and the two-tone reds are so complimentary to the greens. Great job!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that
Such gorgeous colors! Love this look on the cascade card!
Wonderful cards! Thank you so much.
Cute cards!
I’m impressed that you can make such beautiful cards with a profession and family. I appreciate their simplicity. Using the autumn stencil with Christmas colors is clever.

Beautiful card, love that tree.
These leaves work as perfectly for Christmas as for fall! Love this off the page wreath! The Christmas tree is decorated beautifully with the multicolor gems!
This is such a great release. Love your examples.
Wonderful creations. Now considering ordering the Autumn cascade.

Hi Nicki! Both of your cards are very pretty! I love the layered look!! I have never been a big fan of the taste of candy corn, but I wouldn’t necessarily say Ick nor yum. Lol However, I do love how it looks in fall themed decorations and crafts!
