Joy To The World | Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember 2025 Release

Hello and happy STAMPtember! If we haven’t met before, welcome! You can always find me here on my blog or over on Instagram.

The Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release is live and today we’re celebrating with a blog party! Visit the Simon Says Stamp blog to see all of the participants, and be sure to take note of this special promo code for an awesome gift with purchase. There are different promo codes across the party so be sure to visit as many posts as you can!

My card today features the new Shiny Baubles stamps. Coordinating dies are also available separately or as a bundle with the stamps.

I used three trios of Pawsitively Saturated Inks and a gray to stamp the ornaments:

Then I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. I cut out the images and sentiment and used foam tape to adhere them to a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ panel of white cardstock that I dry embossed using the Glistening Snowflakes embossing folder. To finish, I glued the panel to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Cornflower cardstock which I then glued to a top-folding A2 card base.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Fall Is My Favorite Color

For my card, I stamped, colored, and die cut three pumpkins and then framed them using a stenciled panel out of which I die cut an arched window. I used foam tape to create some dimension between the stenciled panel and a card base and then used foam tape to adhere the pumpkins.

Thankful For You

My second card features the sweet Cozy Kitty bonus die set when you purchase The Whole Studio which includes ALL 5 of the monthly subscriptions in one discounted buy. I die cut the pieces of the kitty and his little friend from color cardstock and then glued the pieces together. Then I used foam tape to adhere the critters to the arched fallout piece from the first card I made and framed it with another arched panel. To finish, I glued the arched piece to a white card base and stamped a sentiment from the Card Kit of the Month.
