Holiday Botanicals - Partial Front Cards

Hello Makers! I'm sharing two partial front cards that I made for the release of the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Christmas 2026 release. This set is called Holiday Botanicals. It has three images in two different sizes, as welll as three sentiments.  

I made a process video for these cards and I do hope you find something to inspire you or an idea that helps you in your creative process.

I decided to stamp the largest of two images with Distress Stains onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock. First I cut 1" off the right side of the front of two A2 Cards. Then I cut two 3x5.25 pieces of WC Cardstock with my Deckle Edge Trimmer, and two 1.25x5.25 pieces of WC Cardstock for the right side of the inside of the card. 

Stamp the image in Distress Stains - I used Peeled Paint and Rustic Wilderness. Then color the berries with Lumberjack Plaid. Stamp the splatter stamp around the edge in Walnut Stain Distress Ink and the sentiment below the image in Black Soot Archival. Add a bit of sparkle by painting some Distress Liquid Tinsel onto the holly leaves and berries. 

Put blend or brush some Peeled Paint and Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink onto the Retro Pinwheel Layering Stencil. Then spray with water and press onto the smaller piece of WC Cardstock. Dry and stamp with the splatter stamp. Thenn adhere to the right, inside of the card.

Do the same with the ponsettia stamp, but orient everything horizontally.

Stamp in Lumberjack Plaid and Crushed Olive Distress Stain. Add Liquid Tinsel and Stamp the sentiment in Black Soot Archival.

Stencil the Retro Pinwheel in Lumberjack Plaid and Crushed Olive Distress Ink on the small piece for the inside.

Sew around the stamped pieces and add a bit of 1/4 lace along the front edge for even more vintage flair.

That's it for today's cards. These would be very easy to make in multiples for a set of Christmas cards. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Simon Says Stamp Coordinating Christmas Dies

Hello Makers! So excited that once again Simon Says Stamp has made some coordinating dies to go with some existing and the NEW Tim Holtz Christmas stamps from Stampers Anonymous. These dies are exclusive to Simon Says Stamp so if you follow the links at the bottom of this post you will find them in the Simon store.

Like the Halloween dies this year, I am going to post my makes on this post so they are easy to find in one spot, so I will update as I go.  

First up were the sweet little Christmas Doodles CMS 505 gift cards. These were so much fun to make! I used Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas backdrops for the background on these and to cut out the little Squoval tags. 

The darling little Christmas Doodles SSS505 are the focal but I used some other dies on this as well.

The borders at the bottom and the little stamp dies are from the Vintage Holidays CMS 423 stamps and the new coordinating dies SSS423 make them so easy to make borders and ephemera for adding festive touches to your makes. 

Another cool thing from the Christmas Doodles dies are the three sentiment tags that fit all the sentiments from the stamp set. Another detail that makes it super quick to create a card or tag...or in this case a card tag. 

I just love how these turned out and I hope you like them too!

There are many more coming so keep looking for new updates on this post.

Have a creative day!

Tami
