Christmas Cards with Simon Hurley Timeless Trees Collection
Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing some cards that feature products from the beautiful new Simon Hurley Timeless Trees Collection.

Creating Christmas Cards with the Simon Hurley Christmas Collection
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…

Modern Holiday Magic: Minimalist Christmas Cards with Style
Hi there my Spellbinders’ friends! My name is Jaycee Gaspar and I’m so excited to share three cards featuring the Simon Hurley Christmas Collection. This collection features coordinating stamps and dies with a fun sketched feel. As an added bonus, I used one of Simon Hurley’s Astro Pastes to complement the design of these cards.

I hope that you can use these design techniques in your holiday cards and see how easy it is to keep things simple and stylish. For this first card technique, I wanted to showcase…
