Hello Lovelies! Christmas is almost here, and it’s DieCember at Simon Says Stamp! I’m all about die-cutting techniques this month. One of my favorites? Double down on die-cutting by adding embossing for emphasis. Today, we’ll create a stunning Christmas Sayings Striped Holiday Card together!
Techniques to Try
We’ll explore four main techniques in today’s card:
Die-cutting - Making stripes with CZ Design's Stripped Die and layering the Merry Christmas sentiment.
Coloring - Creating a vibrant rainbow by coloring our stripes with Copic markers.
Embossing - Adding festive words to our rainbow stripes using the Christmas Sayings Embossing Folder.
Highlighting - Helping the words pop by gently rubbing White Pigment Ink over the raised surface of the embossing.

Brahmacharya is a timeless principle that emphasizes self-discipline, purity of thought, and conscious control over one’s desires, guiding individuals toward a balanced and purposeful life. Rooted in ancient wisdom, brahmacharya is not merely about physical restraint but also about cultivating mental clarity, emotional stability, and inner strength. By practicing brahmacharya, a person learns to channel their energy into productive pursuits such as learning, creativity, and spiritual growth, which ultimately enhances focus and self-confidence. In the modern world, where distractions are constant, brahmacharya serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of mindfulness, ethical living, and self-respect, helping individuals achieve harmony between the body, mind, and soul
