Simon Says Stamp and Gina K Shimmering Christmas Cards

and the next collab is:  Simon Says Stamp and Gina K Shimmering Christmas Cards.  Can I just say WOW about this stamp set?  It’s absolutely beautiful, full of detail, and so versatile for a wide range of techniques.

When I create Christmas Cards, I tend to favor the easy-to-repeat designs that can be mass-produced.  This stamp and die set is PERFECT for the Embossed Resist Technique, and I paired it with Ombre ink blending for added depth.  In true Gina K fashion, I also layered my cardstock, adding a black mat to frame the art piece.

How to create the Simon Says Stamp and Gina K Shimmering Christmas Cards:

NOTE:  the instructions are the same for both cards.
Cardstock:

  • 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Gina K Turquoise Sea cardstock
  • 3-3/4″ x 5″ – Simon Says Stamp Black cardstock
  • 3-5/8″ x 4-7/8″ white Hammermill cardstock

The design features a white embossed resist Christmas tree with swirls and snowflakes, accented by rhinestone stars. The background is an ombre ink blend in teal shades, fading from dark to light, with splattered white ink for a snowy effect.

Start by placing the white panel into a Misti and white heat embossing the images.  At the same time, white heat emboss the sentiments onto scraps of black cardstock.

Next, place the panel on a protected work surface and create an ombre ink blend with Ocean Mist, Blue Lagoon and Tranquille Teal Gina K Designs Inks.  Once blended, use a dry cloth to gently buff the surface and remove any excess ink from the embossed images, allowing them to shine through.

Then, when the panel is completely dry, place it into a splat box and add snowy texture by splattering it with the Pawsitively Perfect White Splatter Medium.

The design features embossed resist snowflake ornaments and snowflakes in white, hanging over an ombré teal ink-blended background with snowy splatter accents. A bold sentiment reading “Merry & Bright” is layered on black and white cardstock, framed with a black mat, and mounted on a teal card base.

 

Putting the cards together:

Adhere the art piece to the black mat, then add foam tape to the back for added depth.

Next, mount the Turquoise Sea card front to a top-folding white A2 sized card base, and attach the layered art piece on top.

Finish by embellishing with a few sparkling gems for the perfect touch of shine.

    Great use of the emboss resist technique, which I tend to forget about. Beautiful stamp set by Gina K and love your tribute to her with the black border!
