Joy for You Inspiration with Simon Says Stamp: Release Blog Hop Day 1

Nov 6 2026 | By: Lea Lawson

This cheerful winter card features some of my favorite products from the new Joy For You release from Simon Says Stamp! The adorable waving bear and glitter-dusted trees are nestled into a sparkling snowy scene that captures all the magic of the season. I love how the bright holiday sentiment and icy mint background keep the design festive, playful, and full of joy!

The best part about this little polar bear? I put him on an action wobble, so it looks like he is super excited to give you a holiday hug! You can see the wobble in action on my Instagram post (it's basically impossible to photograph. Lol!).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  • Cut & fold A2 card base.

  • Diecut snowy hills from white glitter cardstock, then adhere to the bottom of the embossed panel.
  • Mount the entire panel to the card front with foam tape.
  • Diecut the Spiky Trees from Teal Topaz and Blue Spruce cardstock.
