Hi readers! Happy Tuesday! Please join me in a BIG Simon welcome to guest designer Darlene Devries! I think you’re really going to like this idea for a holiday card design. So unique and fun and easy to incorporate your family photo! Take a peek at the tutorial and be sure to watch the video too! Enjoy!

Hi Everyone!

I’m very excited and honored to be a guest on the Simon Says Stamp blog today!  Every year I make a special holiday photo card to send out to family and friends, so I thought I would take this guest opportunity to share this year’s card with you.  I really like to make it interactive, and this year is no different.

It’s a waterfall card made from a snowman!  If you pull the tab that says “pull”, the snowman parts flip over to reveal a message underneath.  The final “landing” snowman part has our holiday photo and the pull tab has a personal message.  Here are a few photos in action:

The final full-open card:

Since I’m making 40 of these cards, I tried to simplify everything.  For example, the background is a stamp with white ink.  Instead, you could heat emboss it with white powder or add some embossing paste with a stencil.

Watch the video for a step-by-step tutorial on how to make the card.  I also included a few card-making tips and tricks, such as Copic blending with 2 markers and aligning your card panels.  Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
