Christmas card with colorful "MERRY" letters, red and pink background. Text: "Simon Says Stamp", "Merry Cover Christmas Card".

Hello Lovelies! This wreath is claiming "retro", but I somehow made a Christmas Card that seems pretty modern to me! I'm sharing two color options using this Simon Says Stamp Retro Wreath Stamp, Stencil and Die set.

I also tried out the new Pawsitively Saturated Ink Trio on the red card and was delighted by the warm coral tones. I love that the ink trios give you a set of monochromatic hues that work beautifully together and are perfect for layering stencils. A little ink-blending over solid, embossed red and turquoise cardstock edges, finishes this pair of cards.

Two festive cards with geometric wreath designs. The blue card says Merry and Bright; the red one says Spread Joy & Cheer. Silver decor surrounds. — Don't like coloring with markers? Stencils make me look like a star when I'm not in the mood for markers!
