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.

  45. Sabine Honig says:

    As I watched the video this morning I thought that my favourite would be the Heart Sprinkle Trail Die. I thought I would be able to get lots of use from the die, both as a die and also using the cut out pieces BUT then you made the book marks. I love book marks of every kind and I have to say that the Fingerprint Doodles Stamp Set is my absolute favourite – so many different ways to use this – on book marks as you did, on sets of note cards, individually stamped or in a row of all different fingerprint doodles on card fronts, as quirky hidden doodles in a shaker card, as pop up doodles in window frames on a card, together in shapes like hearts,bows,butterflies, wobble doodles… The possibilities are endless. I have to say that the more I think about it, the more excited I get – this has really sparked my imagination and creative juices which have been sadly lacking for the last few months. The other thing that really makes this a favourite is that I won’t need a matching die set – the images can be easily punched out or die cut using different shape dies and punches. This is definitely one stamp set I will be getting! Thanks so much!!

  46. Becky H. says:

    Hard to pick just one, but I really liked the heart sprinkle trail die–very unique.

  47. Diane Phillips says:

    All of these products are just great but I can’t stop smiling when I look at the fingerprint doodles, they are so cute!

  48. Athena b. says:

    Oh dear Jennifer! You are so kind making giveaways! This is an awesome release and my favorite products are the heart sprinkle trail and the bouquet of thanks. Thank you for the chance to win!

  49. Maria Spielauer says:
