Mixing Metallics + Using Die Cuts with Patterned Paper
The new Sending Cheer collection from Simon Says Stamp has so many lovely holiday themed products in it—and one in particular I was excited to play with! The Starlet Snowflake die is quite large and has lots of detail to it. I decided to pair this with patterned paper and mix metallics to create a striking design for this Christmas card!
The large bow is another die from Simon Says Stamp called Loopy Bow. I cut it from silver, which contrasted perfectly against the gold Starlet Snowflake. The patterned paper behind the snowflake is from the La La Land Crafts Christmas Eve collection.
Some fun details included in this card are the decorative panels I cut with the A2 Notched Rectangle dies from Simon Says Stamp, plus a fun trail of clear confetti sequins.
