Happy Christmas Card | Simon Says Stamp | Holly Jolly Release

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!!! 

Thanks for stopping by. Today's card is brought to you by the Simon Says Stamp Holly Jolly Release. Thank you Simon for sending me some goodies to play with! This fun card features a brand new Tumbled Hexagons Embossing Folder. What a fun background it creates and just look at all the texture! Man, I am so happy the embossing folders are making a comeback, LOL!

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I first needed to figure out the sandwich for the new Tumbled Hexagons Embossing Folder as it is a different thickness from my other folders. I ended up just using the Sizzix EMBOSS AND IMPRESSIONS PAD and that worked really well. I was kinda scared to use the Gemini for this and thought the Sizzix was the oldest machine I had so I experimented with it.

The next thing I did was blend out a couple of colors to get this purple/pink sky. I used the new SWEET PETUNIA and TRINITY TEAL ATELIER INKS from Ink On 3 to create a soft blend.

Moving along, I then stamped and Copic colored this sweet Snowman from the WINTER HUGS Stamp set and then fussy cut him out.

For the sentiment, I used this bold stamp from Simon's previous release that comes from the GOOD CHEER stamp set. I stamped it in white ink on black cardstock and used a white EMB PWD. to heat set it. I then trimmed the banner and added a tail.

Before putting the card together, I stamped some snowflakes, and then heat embossed them on the Hexagon background. 

For finishing touches, I added glossy accents, glitter, and snowflake embellishments. And that my friends was how this card came together 😊
