In the January 2026 edition of Making the Cut, my monthly series for Simon Says Stamp, we’re creating the most adorable snowman card while diving deep into layered background techniques. This project explores ink blending, ink smooshing, background stamping, silver splatter, and even an acetate window with additional stamping to build dimension and visual interest. Backgrounds play such an important role in reinforcing the overall feel of a card, and this layered winter scene sets the perfect stage for our snowman focal point and coordinating sentiments.
