Christmas in July! New products...

A very festive release in July, getting ready early for the festive season...

Before we delve into the new can I quickly take you back to the old, to the 1980s when I made an appearance in the local paper....

.... that's me surrounded by tinsel - maybe my love of christmas decorating & crafting started then!!

OK, back to present day - let me introduce you to Christmas 2025. These images are going to be perfect for card making and other christmas crafts (ornaments etc). I've looked back at previous releases & added new motifs they will work perfectly with (eg. the NOEL from JOFY128 is great for pairing with '25' on JOFY142). There are bold motifs and teeny tiny greetings and tags - something for projects of all sizes.

New Year / New Intentions

Well hello & happy new year - hopefully its a lovely shiny new year full of unknown opportunities!

I miss writing on my blog - a blog post feels more ‘permanent’ than Instagram where I currently post most of my work & news (also on Facebook of course). Instagram changes so quickly it feels like nothing gets enough time … its a balancing act isn’t it.

My intention for this year is to blog more frequently - not only posting to tell you about product releases which is what most of my posts have been about for the last year or so… which is good, but bad at the same time. I can provide more indepth information on my blog than I can on Instagram.

I can't make any promises but I'm going to give it my best!

Shiny new year, shiny new intentions!!

SimonSaysStamp.com Stamptember 2024

This month is the simonsaysstamps.com annual 'Stamptember'! A month filled with inspiration from over 30 craft brands introducing their exclusive limited edition products (once they're gone, they're gone!!).

PaperArtsy are taking part this year with a stamp set designed by me - very exciting!

This set has a distinctly chrismassy feel but I designed the parcels so they can be used all through the year, and I can see me using those background patterns a lot too!!

You can see more samples of projects using the stamps here on the simonsaysstamp blog.

This stamp set is only available on the SimonSaysStamps website here, and for a limited time there is coupon for overseas shipping.
