Snowflake Builder! Circle Card & Envelope with Kristina Werner

Hi all! Kristina Werner here! Today I have some more inspiration for you using the January 2020 card kit! The kit includes the fun Snowflake Builder stamp set, so I started by creating a snowflake card.

I stamped one of the large snowflake images from the Snowflake Builder stamp set in Teal ink from Simon on white cardstock. Then I ink blended Mint and Teal inks radiating from the center of the snowflake.

To complete the layered snowflake, I lined up the second image over the top of the stamped snowflake, stamped it in Versamark ink, and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder.

For the card greeting, I stamped the banner image from the stamp set on Soft Navy cardstock and silver heat embossed it as well.

I used Simon’s Nested Circles dies to cut the stamped snowflake piece, as well as a circle card base made out of Soft Navy cardstock. Then I adhered the snowflake piece to the card base.

For the envelope, I stamped a bunch of snowflakes using four colors of Simon ink: Teal, Mint, Blue Jay, and Soft Navy. Allison’s address was added using a teal gel pen (here are some similar pens).

NOTE: Address used with permission. Thanks, Allison!

Thanks for stopping by today! You can pick up the January 2020 card kit HERE, or subscribe for this kit and future kits HERE.

Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: No Line Watercolor Puppies!

Hello friends, its Nina-Marie here with you and I am thrilled to be sharing a new Studio Monday tutorial today!

One of our more recently released stamp sets is this Peace Love and Belly Rubs set, which features a grouping of super-sweet puppies! Did you know that these pups were each inspired by dogs that our Simon employees own??

Today I used the stamp set to do some no-line watercoloring. I also paired the puppies with some of our new snowflake dies and a bit of ink blending in the background.

Want to see how I made this festive (and adorable) Christmas card? Watch the video below!
