I only used 1 stamp set……and look at ALL the different designs I made! I find colors so fun and amazing. Change the color….change the card. Do you have a favorite? I know I certainly do. Can you guess which one?

For all the cards I used Simon Says Stamp Holiday Greeting Mix 1. (I wonder if this means there will be a 2)? This stamp set is so versatile and I didn’t even scratch the surface with it.

The envelopes are either Simon Says Stamp or Gina K Designs.

Also, as a disclaimer to Yana Smakula, I made my cards….and then saw that we made the same one (almost). Great minds…..

The video is above

For this card –

I stamped the Simon Says Stamp Winter Floral Mix Stamp onto My Favorite Things Wild Cherry Cardstock using Hero Arts Unicorn ink.

I stamped the sentiment onto Neenah 110# card stock [SSS | EH] using my Misti [SSS | EH | SBC]. I used Versamark Ink [SSS | EH | SBC] and heat embossed with Brutus Monroe Gilded [SSS | EH] embossing powder.

I colored the leaves with 2 different green Copic markers.

I finished the card using silver gems that I colored red with a sharpie.

Adhering vellum can be pretty tricky because the glue always shows through so, I made a sticker out of the vellum with the Creative Station Lite [SSS | EH | SBC]. I love this machine!

The gems are Honey Bee’s Raw Honey [SSS | EH | SBC] gems.

Here they are side by side. I just love them both.
