Frosty Texture Meets Cozy Wishes ❄️ Frozen Fractal Card featuring our January 2026 Card Kit by Tina Smith
Hi friend! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Tina Smith to our blog today with fresh and gorgeous inspiration showcasing our brand new January 2026 Card kit! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!
Hi everyone, it’s Tina! If you have a birthday celebration in the near future, I have the perfect card to share with you! I’ve been getting crafty with the amazing Simon Says Stamp January 2026 Card Kit!
I put together a multi-layered Winter birthday card featuring a two-toned embossed snowflake. I love adding unexpected elements, so I used one of the trees from the stamp set to add that second pop of color to the snowflake. It’s so fun and it works beautifully! I also added the Twinkle Texture Paste to one of the stencil layers for sparkle.
Everything you need to join the fun is in the kit, minus some basic “housekeeping” items: twine, a tiny bit of extra sparkle (because is there such a thing as too much?), and the pine needles (those are from the “Pine and Post” Envelope Gift Card Die in last month’s kit).
I hope my tutorial inspires you to get creative! Enjoy the process and Merry Christmas!

Make Gorgeous Stars with Tim Holtz Palette Fabric!
Happy Monday, friend! ‘Tis the season for festive makes, but honestly these could really be versatile beyond the holiday season! Check out this fun tutorial by special guest Richele Christensen on how fun these are to make! Enjoy!
Hello friends! Today I’d like to share some fabric stars I made with the Tim Holtz Palette Fabrics in various colors and one from Palette Seasonal. There is no sewing involved and I love that they are fabric. The lightweight cardstock was perfect for the stars to give them some stability without being super thick. The Stars are also Fat Quarter friendly. Palette offers a wide array of colors and pattern so there is something for everyone.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut out 5 squares of lightweight cardstock. I’ve used a 5” square but you can vary the size just keep it as a square.
- Using Collage Medium paint the cardstock and then place on the fabric. Use a bone folder to smooth it out.
- Do all 5 squares and let dry several minutes. Trim off excess fabric around the cardstock squares.
- Fold square diagonally and crease well with a bone folder. Now fold the edges in to meet at the center fold.
- Fold up the bottom being sure the fold is at the bottom of the previously folded section.
- Fold the points up to create the diamond shape. Adhere the points down with hot glue.
- Continue until all 5 pieces are folded.
- Adhere the 5 pieces together to create the star.
- Here’s a look at the back side for reference.
- Create as many as you’d like. They are perfect for the top of your tree, to display in a window. I also think little ones would be fun on a package. So many possibilities!
Once I made the first one and got a hang of the folding it was easy and I couldn’t stop. I hung them in my new studio window by my sewing machine and they makes me so happy when I look out the window. What color stars will you make?
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Holiday season! -Richele
