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.

    I can’t decide. Right now, it is, either the Hearts Sprinkle Trail Wafer Die, or the Fingerprint Doodle stamp set. (By the way, I may help my granddaughtesr make some bookmarks for gifts, too!)

  13. Evelyn B says:

    I too love those all over designs and the circles make them more interesting. The leaf one is especially nice – peek that little bear book die out of it or the fox and would make such a cute card for a child. Thanks for the review and the chance to win!

  14. Colleen Halpern says:

    I like the Corbel Wreath die. It’s funny, but when I first saw it, I thought of water drops and fish and mermaids. The fingerprints were cute, also.

  15. Marianne says:

    Hard to pick a favourite from this fun release, but I really like the playful look of the Fingerprint Doodles.

  16. Kim k says:

    Love these new products. The floral burst die looks fantastic!

  29. Jackie McKnite says:

    I think the fingerprint doodles set would be really fun to make with my grandson. He’d get a kick out of it. I like your bookmark idea too. I’ve been making them about that size with magnets so you can attach it to a page and align it with the line of text where you left off. This idea is definitely more cost effective.

  30. Maureen says:

    Thanks for the product close up. I love “the circle doodle embossing plate”. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

    So many to choose from, hard to choose just 1. I think the Frond Wreath is my favorite, you have many card ideas with this one. Thanks for showing us the new release.

    The bookmark is wonderful. So easy and cute. Too many wonderful things in this set. It is hard to pick just one. I think the Corbel Wreath would be the first I’d like to get. Or maybe the floral Burst Collage die. Too many greats here.

  44. RoseRRose says:

    My favorite from this release is the fingerprint doodles. I’ve tried doing these freehand, but they aren’t as cute as these. Why do I stamp? Because I can’t draw.
