Simon Says Stamp | January 2021 Card Kit – Snowflake Cards

This post is also available in English

I find it hard to believe 2021 is just around the corner, but at the time I am quite ready for the new year to start. I received Simon’s January 2021 Card Kit, Snowflake Season in the mail just in time to make a few cards to share with you. It’s been a while since I created with Simon’s kits, and I did miss it. I opened my box and explored the goodies, looking at the papers, the stamp set, the embossing folder, and the snowflake die in awe! Needless to say, I dove into my kit straight away!

CARD DETAILS

I adore the patterned paper included in this month. Full of gorgeous wintery bokeh designs in various colors – from blue to pink, to purple, this paper is so very gorgeous. I used a sheet for each card I’m sharing today.

My first card project, “Hello, Friend”, is the simplest of all. I cut my patterned paper using the largest rectangle die from the Spellbinders Essential Rectangles set and foam mounted onto an A2 white card base. I love the mix of blue bokeh and snowflakes. So stunning!

Next, I die-cut a snowflake from holographic cardstock included in my kit and foam mounted it in the center of my card. The sentiment was created by heat embossing it in silver embossing powder and cutting it out using a circle die. I foam mounted the sentiment onto the snowflake. Lastly, I embellished the card using silver sequins from my stash. This card can’t be any simpler.

The next project, Snow Glad We’re Friends, is very similar, but I stepped it up a bit. This time I embossed the background patterned paper using the embossing folder included in my kit. It is stunning! I sprayed the paper with water a bit before embossing, this helps the paper fibers to stretch and prevents paper from cracking.

I also die-cut a snowflake from white cardstock and covered it with gorgeous glitter, it is actually called Unicorn Confetti, included in the kit. My sentiment was stamped in black, embossed in clear, and cut out with a circle die. I also added a clear droplet from my stash to finish it up.

The last project, Winter Greetings, features heat embossing, and hot foiling. I foiled a lovely frame from Spellbinders Framed Details Glimmer Hot Foil Plate in matte silver foil on patterned paper.

Next, I heat embossed several snowflakes and sentiment using Silver embossing powder. I die-cut 3 snowflakes from the mirror cardstock included in the kit and foam mounted them onto the card (the snowflakes are very detailed, so I cut my foam adhesive into tiny squares). Lastly, I added small clear droplets to dress up this card. I love the result!
