Hi friends! I am back today with some more inspiration using the marvelous new goodies from the Simon Says Stamp Sugar and Spice release (check it out HERE), which features so many gorgeous new holiday products that will make your Christmas cardmaking simple and enjoyable! I shared a vintage inspired project yesterday (check it out HERE), but for today’s project, I thought I’d switch gears completely and work with a totally modern color palette. To me, any color combination can be considered “holiday;” pairing the unique colors with holiday imagery and lots of sparkle and shine creates that overall holiday feeling. Let’s get started with the details on my rainbow Christmas card!

When in doubt, triple it. Occasionally, when I am working with a smaller image, I will use this adage to create a full focal point. By using multiples of the same image and arranging them on your card front, you can create a lush focal point that fills your card with ease! I die cut three of the new Frosty Nordic Tree from Simon Says Stamp Holographic Cardstock, which adds that gorgeous iridescent rainbow shimmer over the top of main silver foil.
In order to enhance the gorgeous colors on the iridescent holographic cardstock, I selected Pawsitively Saturated Inks in shades of Guava, Cheeky, Butter, Spring, and Seafoam, blending them in rainbow order on my card front. I splattered some iridescent glitter watercolors on the blended background, then arranged the die cut holographic trees on the card front and adhered them with thin foam adhesive, popping the middle one up with a double layer of foam adhesive to help it pop.
For the greeting, I silver embossed a sentiment from the new Inside Greetings: Holiday onto some white cardstock, then die cut it with its coordinating dies. I flagged the ends of a strip of silver glitter cardstock and placed the sentiment in the center of the strip, tucking it beneath the grove of shiny trees with some foam adhesive. Because you can never have enough shine on a Christmas card, I used liquid adhesive to add some Opal Pawsitively Dazzling Gems to the middle tree, as well as an Iridescent White Cord bow for added texture!
Well, that’s all for my project today! You can check out the entirety of the Sugar and Spice release HERE, and don’t forget to check out the Simon Says Stamp Sugar and Spice Blog Hop this weekend for tons of fabulous inspiration using these new goodies.
