Hello friends! Thank you for joining me today – I’m excited to participate in Simon Says Stamp Cozy Hugs Release Blog Hop. The past 7 months have been awful with the war in Ukraine, but we finally managed to work a way of shipping the products my way, so happy to join Simon again! It is going to sound funny, but I’ve missed the smell of new stamps lol. It is such a treat to be able to create with these products.
My today’s cards feature a fun layering stamp set from Cathy Zielske, it is simply phenomenal and perfect for some fun and quirky holiday cards.

CARD DETAILS
I wanted to try a different color combo for these cards, pink, green, and white, and I went with Bubblegum pink and Field green from Simon. I think it looks fun and fresh.
For my first card, I stamped the main “Snow” 3 times filling the background of my card in. You can fit exactly 3 images on an A2 card. I alternated the pink and green to add movement to my card design.
For my 2nd card, I stamped just the one “snow” and added pink snowflakes coming in from the opposite corners of the card.
This stamp set has a coordinating die available, but I skipped doing any die cutting and went for mostly flat cards. The only thing that is popped up on both cards is the sentiment panel, I embossed it in white on Peony cardstock from Hero Arts. I decorated both cards with Opal gems from Spellbinders.
