Hello and happy Stamptember everyone! Today there is a big blog party, not a blog hop, going on with Simon Says Stamp offering different codes for deals all day long! You can find the entire blog party list on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Simon Says Stamp was so kind and sent me several products from the release. I'm going to share a couple of cards that I made with those products. But first up I will be sharing the special code that I have for an exclusive product. You can get a set of SSS nesting star dies with a purchase of $30 and the code found in the graphic. See the entire release right here.

Now on to what I created!
This next card uses the super fun Layering Christmas Trees stamp set and the A7 Notched Rectangle dies set. I don't often make A7 sized cards, but I think these dies will come in handy for other sizes of cards. And maybe this will spur me to make a few A7 sized cards. There are a whopping 15 dies in this set! I used three to make this card. One for the base and then two for the layers. The Layering Trees can be used with two shades of ink, but for my card I actually just used one. The first layer was very light and then I stamped the top layer several times to get the darker shade. The little circles or ornaments come as a single stamp. I simply cut them apart so I could stamp them randomly around the tree. I did use a rather dark ink, but for some reason the glossy accents changed the color when it was applied. I finished with the split sentiment.
