There’s something so special about a design that feels classic and elegant — and this card does just that! The new Christmas Candles Embossing Folder from the Simon Says Stamp Sugar & Spice Release creates the most beautiful, dimensional texture.

I paired it with the Vintage Christmas Strips Reverse sentiment for a timeless holiday look. Deep green cardstock, a touch of gold thread, and a few paint splatters give it that perfect festive finish. 🌲💫

Would you go bold and colourful with this embossing folder, or keep it classic like this?

I could not wait to create with the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias from @altenewllc – honestly one of my all-time favourite kits. The second I heard it was back, I grabbed mine and made this bold navy and white card. 💙

Here’s what I love most:
🌸 White ink blending through the stencil for that soft, glowing background.
🌸 Crisp white magnolias layered with kraft details.
🌸 Branches stamped in brown ink and fussy cut for extra dimension.
🌸 A warm kraft panel & sentiment to bring it all together.

This kit has EVERYTHING you need – stamps, dies, stencils and an embossing folder. If you missed it last time, don’t wait around… it won’t stay in stock for long!
