Simon Says - Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I created a Christmas card using Simon Says Stamp Wispy Pine Needle Frame Embossing Folder and Merry Cover die, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Festive Gatherings Thinlits,  Idea-ology Christmas Backdrops 2025 Papers and Distress Rock Candy Glitter.

I trimmed Simon Says Midnight Green cardstock to A2, embossed using the Simon Says Wispy Pine Needle Frame Embossing Folder and dragged Simon Says White Pigment ink pad over the raised detail.

I die-cut the Simon Says Merry Cover die twice from Distress Watercolor card and once from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas 2025 Backdrops paper. I fixed one frame and set of letters onto the background using Distress Collage Medium and fixed the second set of white letters behind the patterned paper letters.

I fixed the patterned paper letters in place using Simon Says Thin Foam squares to create dimension.

I die-cut Tim Holtz/Sizzix Festive Gatherings Thinlits from Simon Says Green Apple and Lipstick Red cardstock, placed on the Simon Says Stamp and Stencil Mat and shaded the leaves using Raindrop Pawsitively Saturated ink with a Round Detail Blending Brush.

I fixed the die-cuts in place with Distress Collage Medium, painted the letters and leaves with Distress Collage Medium using a small brush, sprinkled with Distress Rock Candy Glitter and added Ranger Glossy Accents to the berries.

To finish I added a Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Christmas Label Sticker, popped up on Simon Says Thin Foam Squares and matted the panel on to an A2 white card blank.
