Mixed Media: O’ Christmas Tree

Simon Says Stamp | 2025 HOLIDAY Dies that coordinate with Tim Holtz Stamps
11/18/2025

Few holiday icons feel as timeless as a Christmas tree, and the 2025 Holiday Dies from Simon Says Stamp bring that classic image to life with dimension and detail that shine beautifully in any design. These dies coordinate perfectly with Tim Holtz stamps, creating endless opportunities to layer, texture, and build a story that feels nostalgic yet fresh.

For this project, I wanted to create something that felt both rustic and elegant — like a handcrafted ornament come to life. The small tree, framed within a grapevine wreath, sits atop a layered tag backdrop in deep red and gray tones. With touches of snow, greenery, and metallic accents, this piece feels like a warm holiday greeting wrapped in texture and joy.

💡 Design Highlights

  • 🎄 Tree Centerpiece: The coordinating dies bring depth and precision to the stamped tree, making it stand out beautifully within the wreath.
  • 🌿 Layered Texture: Bits of faux greenery, snow effects, and a grapevine wreath add a dimensional, handmade feel.
  • ❤️ Classic Palette: Deep reds, warm neutrals, and touches of white create a cozy, festive contrast.
  • ✂️ Perfect Coordination: The Simon Says Stamp Holiday Dies align seamlessly with Tim Holtz stamps for crisp, detailed cuts.
  • ✨ Finishing Touch: The “O Christmas Tree” sentiment anchors the design with simple elegance.

This clipboard feels like a little piece of the holiday season — full of warmth, texture, and just enough sparkle to make you smile. Have a wonderfully creative day!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
