Simon Says - Get Yeti January 2025 Card Kit

Hello my friends, Winter has well and truly arrived in my neck of the woods

the perfect excuse to retreat to my cosy cubbyhole and finish off the cards I started making in the week between Christmas and New Year using the Simon Says - Get Yeti January Card Kit. You can check out the contents of the kit or if you wish, purchase individual items from the kit HERE.


I created a card using the Get Yeti 6" x 8" stamp set and Photoplay Yeti For Winter patterned papers included in the kit.
I trimmed one of the patterned papers to 4" x 5.1/4" to use as a background. I stamped the mountain image from the Get Yeti stamp set, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, on to a contrasting patterned paper and the Neenah Solar White cardstock included in the kit. I fussy cut the mountains, added the snowy peaks popped up on Simon Says Thin Foam Squares and fixed to a hand-cut snowbank.
I fixed the mountains and snowbank in place with Distress Collage Medium and added shading using a grey Zig Clean Color Brush Marker. I inked one of the snowflakes from the stamp set with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink, sprinkled with Simon Says Detail Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set. I fussy cut the sentiment from another of the patterned papers and fixed to the background popped up on Thin Foam Squares.
I stamped the trees, snowman and mittens from the Get Yeti stamp set on to Strathmore Bristol Smooth card and coloured with Zig Clean Color Brush Markers.
I fussy cut with my trusty Tim Holtz/Tonic Studios Mini Recoil Snips and added to the background using Thin Foam Squares. I sprinkled Stampendous Chunky White Embossing Enamel on to background and heated from underneath until melted. To finish I scored and folded the Neenah Solar White card included in the kit to create an A2 top folding card and fixed the panel in place with Distress Collage Medium.


With heavy snowfall overnight and more forecast for the next few days, it looks like I'm going to be marooned in the cubbyhole having more fun with the January Card Kit and some new releases coming soon from Simon Says Stamp. In the meantime, stay safe and cosy if the weather is wintry where you are.

  1. What a fun cardkit, I love the card you made Kath, really cute.
    We had some snow which is a real change for us here, and I confess I love to see it, alas, it didn't stay long enough but it is bitterly cold, heaven knows what our heating bills will be. Oh well, carry on crafting :)) xx
