I’m sharing two very different cards today using the two large images from the 6×8 Holiday Cheer set!

Sending Christmas Cheer by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

My first card uses that adorably cute Santa!   I stamped him with versafine, heat-embossed him with clear embossing powder and then colored him with copics before fussy-cutting him.  I cut off the carpet because I wanted an outdoor scene but he would work great indoors or outdoors! 😉 I added a few white gel pen accents and some chunky and prisma glitter on his hat!  Oh, I also scribbled some writing on the “list” with a copic multi-liner!

Next I took one of the pieces of patterned papers included in the kit and stamped the snowflakes from the Holiday Cheer set with versamark before heat-embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock and heat-embossed it with red embossing powder.  Then I tore the paper to create snowy hills and adhered them to the snowflake background.  I added my santa with foam mounting tape and finished the card with a few of the sparkly red sequins included in the kit!

A Very Merry Christmas by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

For my second card I wanted to do a little no line pencil coloring on that Christmas tree but I also wanted to use the audrey blue folded cards included in the kit so I decided to make a white tree with teal ornaments!  I stamped the tree with unicorn white pigment ink and then colored it with polychromos colored pencils.  I started by adding a layer of white to each section, colored over it with my darker shades, and then blended it with more white colored pencil!

I added a few nuvo drops in a coordinating color for the ornaments on the tree but you could also leave them just colored with colored pencils!  I stamped the sentiment onto the lipstick red cardstock included in the kit and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  I trimmed the sentiments down to thin labels and adhered them to the card with foam mounting tape.  Finally I added a few red sequins to finish the card!

I hope this gives you some ideas for the new Holiday Cheer kit!  Remember, you can also subscribe to their no-obligation kits and receive them monthly for $29.99, or purchase them each month for $34.99 (while supplies last).  I have a feeling this fun holiday kit is going to sell out VERY quickly so if you’re interested I’d recommend heading over and picking up the December kit as soon as possible! 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

    I thought I loved the blue card with the Christmas tree more but now that I see the Santa card I loved them both equally! Thanks for the ideas! I can’t wait to get my kit so I can start creating soon!
