Peace & Love at Christmas

Simon Says Stamp | Sugar and Spice Release
10/15/2025

Hi there!

Some cards just feel like Christmas the moment you put them together, and this design, using fun products from Simon Says Stamp’s Sugar and Spice release, is one of those. A festive sprig of holly, a big loopy bow, and a classic holiday sentiment came together for a timeless look that is equal parts simple and elegant.

I kept the background crisp and white so the details would really pop. A scattering of gems added just the right touch of sparkle, and the bold, distressed sentiment strip grounded the whole design. Sometimes less is more, and this card proves it.

Design Highlights

🎀 Loopy red bow that instantly draws the eye and adds festive movement.
🍃 Holly leaves and berries for that traditional Christmas vibe.
🖤 Bold, distressed sentiment strip across the center keeps the design grounded.
✨ Clear gem accents for sparkle and shine.
🎄 Crisp white background that makes all the colors stand out.

This one feels like a holiday classic—clean, bold, and brimming with peace and love.

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!

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!
