Here is Simon Wednesday Challenge - Use Dies In DieCember, below is the challenge photo:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I used Spellbinders' Poinsettia Bloom die set with watercolor paper, matt gold foil paper, and vellum to create the poinsettia. I also used red Distress re-inker to color the poinsettia. I applied Altenew's Perfect Poinsettias 3D embossing folder to run through a white cardstock as the background. I die cut "merry" (from Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th' Festive Snow Globe dies set) on red cardstock. I attached the "merry" word die on top of the card to finish it. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: Simon Says Stamp, MFT, Stampin' Up, Canson

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I learned this card background technique from Online Card Class - So Very Merry 2025 and would like to try it. I applied purple, pink, and peach dye ink pad directly on a piece of white cardstock to make the sky. Then I die cut houses, trees, and snowflakes from Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th' Festive Snow Globe dies set from color cardstock. I white embossed "happy holidays" (from the matching stamps set) on top of the sky. I also white embossed "Merry Christmas from our home to yours" (from Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th' Joyful Holiday stamps set) below the main greeting. I fussy cut a slope from white cardstock and assembled the houses, trees, and snowflakes dies on the card. Finish the card by using white gel pen to put some white dots on the sky. Below is another look of the card:

Cardstock: Spellbinders, MFT
