Winter's Gift Card

Hello my friends, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends. As 2025 comes to a close and we get ready to welcome 2026, I'm sharing a card made with products from Simon Says Stamp The Small Things January 2026 Card Kit. No surprise that this fabulous kit has already sold out but you can, if you wish, purchase individual items from the kit HERE or subscribe to future kits HERE.

I created a Winter's Gift card using the Sage cardstock, Pixie Snowflake Embossing Folder, Crystal Snowflake Stencils and co-ordinating die set, Tim Holtz/Ranger Mini Twinkle Texture Paste and Simon Says Stamp Cool Tones Pawsitively Saturated Dazzling Gems, all included in the kit.

I trimmed Sage cardstock to 4"x5.1/4", embossed using the Pixie Snowflake Embossing Folder and dragged Simon Says Stamp White Pigment ink pad over the embossed detail and around the edges of the panel.

I placed a panel of the white cardstock from the kit on to my Simon Says Stamp Black Stamp/Stencil Mat and stencilled the Crystal Snowflake using Lucky Clover Distress Oxide and Scorched Timber Distress Inks applied with Simon Says Stamp Round Detail Blending Brushes.

I placed the first stencil back on the card panel, applied Distress Texture Paste Twinkle through the stencil and set aside to dry.

I die-cut the stencilled Crystal Snowflake with the co-ordinating die and fixed to the panel with Simon Says Stamp 3D Thin Foam Squares. I die-cut the Winter Gift die from Sage and White Cardstock, removed the die-cut letters from the Sage die-cut and fixed together with adhesive. I inked the edges with the White Pigment ink pad, fixed to the panel with Simon Says Stamp 3D Thin Foam Squares and added a White Hemp Twine bow.

I fixed Simon Says Stamp Cool Tones Pawsitively Saturated Dazzling Gems to the stencilled Crystal Snowflake.

To finish I matted the panel to an A2 top-folding white card blank.

Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve or Hogmanay here in Scotland where we traditionally welcome in the New Year with a dram of the water of life at midnight, in the company of friends and neighbours. Enjoy your celebrations wherever you are in the world and I wish you a Happy, Peaceful and Joyous 2026.

Hugs Kath xxx
