It’s Diecember month at Simon Says Stamp and today is day one – the unveiling of all the new dies! I’ve got one to share with you today. It’s called Filigree Message Oval and it is a beauty. I combined this one with CZ Design Birthday Palooza to make this card.
Here’s links to the products I used:
- Filigree Message Oval die
- CZ Design Birthday Palooza stamp and die set
- Distressed Inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Citron, Mermaid Lagoon, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet
To make this card, I started by applying Ranger Distressed Inks in rows of color using the order as stated above. I die cut the filigree design out of white cardstock and layered over the inked piece, allowing all the colors to show through. The phrase, “birthday to you” was stamped in black on the die cut piece. The bold “happy” was also stamped in black, colored in matching Copic colors, and layered and glued over white craft foam, die cut to match the image. I also layered another die cut oval, backed with the same craft foam thickness over the filigree oval. This allowed the “happy” and the card front to be at even thickness for mailing purposes.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Love the touch of color in the bottoms of the HAPPY letter die. It adds so much without overpowering the card’s colors.
Thanks for showcasing that!
Great job on today’s card! I think this die can be used in so many ways. I see another use for this die as a wonderful die cut egg for Easter!
Oh my gosh!!! That is how you decorate this die cut. I love the colors–color changing, and a little bit of color on the foreground. Great job.
Very cool cards…I like the colors behind and how you colored the bottom of the happy. Thanks for sharing.
I like the way you used this die. Popping up the card front so this looks inlayed is a neat idea.
Beautiful bright colors! The Filigree Oval is stunning, can be used for Easter as well!
This card makes me Happy, beautiful background colors
