Hello, friends! And once again, happy STAMPtember! This video aired on the Simon Says Stamp YouTube channel a few days ago – I LOVED creating with this exclusive collaboration stamp set from Penny Black! If you missed this on the Simon Says Stamp channel, I’m posting it on my blog as well. Enjoy!
Today’s card features the Bright & Merry STAMPtember Exclusive Stamp Set from Penny Black. This 6×8 set is packed with holiday goodness: a stunning, full-size Christmas tree image, an elegant branch with little birds, and a handful of heartfelt sentiments (“From our home to yours,” “Merry Christmas wishes,” “Bright & Merry,” and more!).

CARD DETAILS
For my project, I heat-embossed the big tree in Simon’s Antique Gold Embossing Powder onto Surf Blue cardstock, then ink-blended Night Positively Saturated Ink around the edges to create a soft glow effect. A quick tip — keep the center of the tree lighter for that magical “lit from within” look.
To finish the card, I heat-embossed the “Bright & Merry” sentiment in white onto red cardstock, die-cut it into a circle for a pop of color, and foam-mounted it slightly off-center over the tree. Finally, I “decorated” my paper tree just like a real one, adding clear drops as ornaments for sparkle and dimension.
This card is festive, simple, and such a joy to make with the Penny Black set. Perfect for holiday card-making marathons!
