Two Mixed Media Holiday Cards, Five Steps, and a Whole Lot of Joy

My hands may never be clean again, but these cards are worth it. In this tutorial, we are using the new Tim Holtz Distress Seasonal 2026 bundle from Simon Says Stamp to build two vintage holiday cards. I’ve broken the entire process down into a 5-step formula. Expect plenty of ink blending, a healthy dose of Distress Spritz, and a generous coating of Rock Candy glitter. Grab your crafting supplies and let's get making!
