Hi friends! I am popping in to share some inspiration using the brand new Simon Says Stamp Card Kit of the Month for January 2025. This marvelous kit is available right now for preorder, with the full kits shipping at the beginning of January 2025! (Also-how weird is it to type 2025? My fingers are going to have to get used to that!) These Card Kits are absolutely chock full of excellent value, with the contents valued individually well over the purchase price of $39.99. You receive the large main stamp set, along with lots of coordinating goodies, papers, ephemera, and embellishments. I have a vibrant winter-themed project to share with you, so let’s get started with the details!

The adorable Yeti theme in this month’s kit makes such a great transition from the holiday imagery that we’ve been using for the last few months into more winter-themed images. The kit’s Get Yeti stamp set features a fun-loving yeti with several different activities and lots of accessories to create some sweet scenes! I stamped the sledding yeti and trees with Nocturne ink and added some clear embossing powder over the top, then used OLO markers to add some light shadows to the yeti and a vibrant pattern to the scarf. I used the color palette in the patterned papers included with the kit as my inspiration for my own color palette, keeping the vibrant cherry red, white, and muted sage green throughout each element on my card.
For the background, I used the Illuminated Jacks embossing folder included with the kit with a panel of Lipstick Red cardstock, also included with the kit. I swiped my white pigment ink pad over the raised areas of the embossed card, then used a blending brush to blend some white pigment ink in the center of the card. I also splattered some white gouache on the panel to create some fluttering snowflakes for a super textured and interesting background!
After I had completed the background, I used my trimmer to trim a panel of A2 white cardstock at an angle to create my sledding hill. I popped it up on the embossed and splattered background using some foam adhesive, then built my little scene on on the hill, using multiple heights of foam adhesive to add tons of dimension to the scene. For a bit of added sparkle, I used some Fresh Snowfall Glitter Accents to add some sparkling snow to the trees and snowy slope!
Well, that’s all for my project today. If you like the looks of this kit, you have several options for purchase: you can preorder your Card Kit of the Month for January 2025 today to receive an incredible value with all of the fun trimmings (while supplies last, so don’t wait!), you can become a subscriber to receive a new kit each month at an even better discount, or you can purchase individual elements! I have linked all of the different elements that I used below, but the entire Card Kit of the Month for January 2025 is by far the best value.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a marvelous day!
