Hi cardmaking friends. Welcome to a new week and hope it’s been fabulous so far. I’m playing with a new product from the Holly Jolly release today this is Simon Says Stamp Holiday Words background stamp and I have a couple of cards for you created with it.
These are quick and easy Christmas cards that you can mass produce for the holidays and also reasonably flat, so no additional postage required whoo hoo. I uploaded a PDF for each card for you as well so you have all the cutting measurements, supply list and point by point instructions to create these fun cards.
I broke out a couple of my past favorite Simon Stamp sets for today, the adorable Spring Gnomes from last summer and Snow Much (retired – Sorry, I didn’t realize when I created the cards – pick your favorite snowman stamp), so let’s get into the cards shall we:
Simon Says Stamp Holiday Words Gnome Christmas Card
- Start by placing the card front into the Misti, stamping the Holiday Words Background stamp in VersaMark Ink, covering it with white embossing powder and heat set.
- Then, using the small blending brushes from Ranger, cover the background with Distress Oxide Inks in Peacock Feather and Tumbled Glass.
- Wipe off the background with a dry cloth to remove any ink sitting on top of the embossed image.
- Die cut a little snowy slope and stamp the sentiment and greenery from Gnome for the Holidays. Color the greenery with Copics
- On a separate piece of white cardstock, stamp the gnome and color him with copics
- Layer and attach everything to the top folding A2 card base, using foam squares under the gnome.
Simon Says Stamp Holiday Words Snowman Christmas Card
- Start by placing the card front into the Misti and stamping the Holiday Words Background stamp Peacock Feather Distress Oxide Ink.
- Die cut a little snowy slope and stamp the sentiment in the bottom right corner in black ink.
- On a separate piece of white cardstock, stamp the snowman and color him with copics
- Die cut a Sophie Snowflake from Glitter paper.
- Attach the snowy slope to the card front, trim off any excess before attaching to the A2 top folding card base.
- Use white glue to attach the snowflake to the left side of the card and then foam squares to attach the snowman.

Too cute! Love the snowman and gnome images and your backgrounds are perfect!
Thanks Amy, I love that little gnome, LOL
Beautiful cards! Love how you broke up the text background with snowy hillside.
thank you Bonnie, I needed that snowy hillside to anchor my little guys, LOL plus it was a great place to add an additional sentiment
Wonderful cards. The snowman is so cute and loving the sentiment background. The gnome is darling. I love gnomes and need to get some. I again love the sentiment background and awesome colors. Wonderful beautiful cards.
Wow I love these! Such a fun way to use that background! I wish snow much didn’t retire!
Me too Natasha, seeing as I used it on a card, haha….hopefully they will have a new snowman set coming out soon
