Hi there!

Some cards just make you smile from the very first cut, and this one from the new Simon Says Stamp Sugar and Spice release is exactly that. It’s packed with winter cheer, playful details, and a warm “merry & bright” greeting that ties it all together.

I wanted the design to feel festive but also crisp and modern. By inlaying the die cuts, I kept the surface smooth and let the bold pops of color shine against the white background. The result is a card that feels fresh, joyful, and full of holiday spirit.

Design Highlights

✨ Inlaid die cuts for a seamless, polished look.
🦌 Charming seasonal icons—deer, trees, mittens, hearts, and birds—all pieced together like a festive puzzle.
🎨 Bright, cheerful color palette that feels both playful and cozy.
💛 Shiny gold “merry” sentiment paired with gold heat-embossed “& bright” for balance and shine.
🎁 A ribbon of gold adds extra sparkle across the center.

And that’s my take on this merry little design—bright, colorful, and a happy start to the holiday crafting season!

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!
