Welcome back friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you today! Every year I enjoy sharing a project inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year. 2026 has brought us Cloud Dancer—it evokes quiet beauty, offering a light, airy foundation that lets texture and detail shine! I was excited to stretch my creative muscles and focus my project on exactly that.

I used many products from our Simon Says Stamp exclusive collection—the Lots of Snowflakes stamp and die set, the Balcony Windows dies, the Label Slides Love and Friendship stamp and die set, as well as the Snowfall and Banks stencil.

Utilizing those pieces, I added texture and detail with things such as Tim Holtz Texture Paste, Rock Candy Chunky Glitter, Opal Dazzling Gems, Iridescent cording, and even Shimmer Vellum as the base for my stamped and embossed snowflakes!

The card also has a coordinating envelope that I stamped with the Lots of Snowflakes stamp set, which really ties the whole project together.

It can be an inspiring exercise to base your project on a specific color and let the simplicity of it highlight the fantastic details you add for embellishment. I hope you will watch the video below to see this project come together!
