I haven’t done a Product Release Close-Up for several weeks, so I was excited to have one for you today. These products are new from Simon Says Stamp and are all fun… so I know it may be overwhelming. I am hoping this video helps you get a better look at the products and how they might be used. You can find all the products HERE.

Here are the quick and simple projects I shared in the video…

I had such fun making these simple bookmarks with Lila. Lila stamped her fingerprint in several colors of pigment ink… and I stamped the new Simon Says Stamps Fingerprint Doodles images on top. Cute, huh?

These simple bookmarks actually slide over the corner of a page in a book. They are so easy to make – I just cut the corners off a sealed envelope. Easy!

We will be giving these to friends and family after Lila signs her name on the back.

I also created a couple simple cards using the new Simon Says Stamp Picture Book Fox and Bear Dies. I simply cut them from white cardstock, colored them with Copic Markers, and pieced them together on my card. The white pieces were created with the Simon Says Stamp Wonky Rectangle Die and the sentiment is from the Simon Say Stamp Wild Cuddly Critters Stamp Set.

For the look of texture on the bear, I dabbed with a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol.

In the video I also show a look at the new Copic Marker Sketch Fine Nib. These are FABULOUS. I simply remove the rarely-used broad tip and replace with this one. Now my markers have a brush tip and a fine/bullet/firm tip! YAY! There are three in a pack.

    It’s always so hard to choose a favourite when there are so many great products in a release. The one that caught my eye was the stamp floral burst collage die. I like the way it fit on the A2 card & love the idea of doing rainbow colours behind it. Thanks for showing us the new release.

  36. Stephanie W says:

    If I have to pick just one the Fox die takes the #1 spot. However, the Corbel Wreath die is a close 2nd. 🙂

    those fingerprints are adorable! i also love the frond collage die and the script thanks die.

  38. Erin MacDonald says:

    fingerprint doodles, hands down 😉

  39. Fern Laderoute says:

    I love the bouquet of Thanks stamp and die

  40. Shamirrah says:

    I love the finger print ones. I have a 4 year old and a 1 year that love to help me craft. Losing my job after postpartum depression just gave me more time to craft and be with them. This is our fun time together. Hopefully I can order them soon.

  41. dancingcat says:

    My favorite would be the Heart Sprinkle Trail die. I’ve replaced all my copic markers chisel nib with the fine tip nib, really like them.

  42. Rosy Newlun says:

    So glad to see Lila playing with Momma to create these sweet bookmarks! For me, the Heart Sprinkle Trail die just calls to me. It is totally unique. I can see using the bits for shaker cards, too. Blessings to you and yours ♥

  43. Mary Shwandt says:

    I love them all, but I’ve got to have the Fingerprint Doodles. So stickin’ cute!

  44. Camille says:

    I really like the font on the clear big greetings stamp set. Thanks for all your great ideas.

  45. Rachel K says:

    Love those fingerprint doodles stamps!! My daughter would enjoy those in her lunchbox notes, too, I’m sure. 🙂

  46. Annette Pearce says:

    So much to love, including the watermelon sequins (on the SSS ‘One of a Kind’ page). Favourite would be the Frond Collage Die . Thank you for the chance to win.

  47. Arlene D says:

    It is a toss up between Fingerprint Doodles and Big Greetings stamps sets for my favorite product from this release. Thanks for the opportunity to win! Cute ideas once again, Jennifer!

  48. I love the Simon Says Wonky Rectangle Dies. I love the stitched look and the “wonkiness” of the way the stitches are wavy all around. Any stitched die are my faves and the wonkier, the better!

  49. bev p says:

    My first thought was the heart burst die, but if I only got one choice, it would be the bouquet thanks set. I can’t wait to get home and see these on my computer. (Some things aren’t ever going to be what I need on my phone!)

  50. ANGIE LITTLEWOOD says:

    I have a 5 year old granddaughter, and the finger print stamp set is the perfect way to introduce her to crafting.
