    Creating Christmas Cards with the Simon Hurley Christmas Collection

    August 4, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hi, it’s Marie here from the blog and YouTube channel, Marie Nicole Designs. I’m excited to be sharing three cards I created using stamps from the new Simon Hurley Christmas Collection. These cards are fairly simple to create, and they will be perfect to send out in this upcoming holiday season. I made two cards with a glimmered background I added with a Simon Hurley Glimmer plate I have. I think the pattern looks like snowflakes so it fit well with the snowmen! The last card I made is simply using the stamped image along with a sentiment and some ink-blended colors. Let’s take a look! SIMPLY SNOWMEN I started…

    Hello, crafty friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs. I’m sharing some festive Christmas cards featuring the Joyful Christmas collection by Simon Hurley and Spellbinders. This is a fun collection that includes the cutest die set featuring a reindeer head, some beautiful glimmer plates, and clever background dies! I tried to incorporate all of these items together in today’s cards. Season’s Greetings Reindeer Card For my first card, I went right to cutting and assembling that cute reindeer. I cut all the pieces out of white cardstock, including all the little flowers and branches. I then used different colors on ink to blend onto the cardstock to color it…

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am very excited to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog.  For my projects today, I’m working with some products from the Joyful Christmas collection by Simon Hurley. I love the variety in this holiday collection. Floral Stag Card For my first card, I used the Floral Stag etched dies as my focal point. First, I die-cut all of the dies in the Floral Stag die set on white cardstock. I used Copic markers to color the images. Next, I glued together the stag and the flowers. I set the die cuts aside, then worked on the other pieces…

    Hi friends, it’s Simon Hurley! Today, I wanted to share the incredible versatility of all the products from my new Joyful Christmas collection. This collection reminds me of staying in a cozy Christmas cabin, mixing the beauty of nature with the elegance of delicate ornaments hung on the tree. FLORAL STAG DIES The Floral Stag is one of my favorite dies from the collection! It features an adorable large deer head and some gorgeous florals that can be layered around the deer. We recently moved to a new home and the previous owners hung a metal deer head above the fire. We hung a wreath around the deer head for…
