Hello, everyone! Today I’m sharing a Christmas card idea created with Simon’s Winter Birds and Build a Plaid stamps. Simon just came out with several new products, all part of their Peace on Earth release, and I couldn’t wait to dig into the new goodies and create!

CARD DETAILS

For today’s video, I thought I’d focus on 2 stamp sets that I really liked from the new release. The first one is Build a Plaid Cling stamp set. What this basically is – it is a set of various width stripes starting from 1 1/2”, going down in 1/4 increments. The idea is to use these stripes to build a custom plaid or tartan background. To me, hoverer, this is a fantastic set for creating striped backgrounds. I stamped a background for my card with Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink.

The other stamp set that really caught my eye in the new release is the Winter Birds. It is a large 6×8 stamp, it is a clear stamp set and I love everything about it.

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock and colored them using Copic markers:

I also stamped a sentiment panel and foam mounted it over the diagonal background. Next, I foam mounted the branches and embellished the card with Sparkling Clear sequins.
