Non-Traditional Color Combos for Christmas Cards

December 1, 2023 by Heather Holbrook

Non-Traditional Color Combos for Christmas Cards

For the last few years I’ve noticed for many Holidays that “different” colors are being used more and more. By this I mean non-traditional colors for instance using pastels for Halloween instead of orange and black or bright retro colors for Christmas instead of primary red and greens. Yana Smaukla is embracing this trend by creating 5 different fun color combination for 5 Holiday cards using the same layering stamp set and similar layouts on each card. This is a fun way to use your different colored ink pads and also an easy way to mix up your Christmas and Holiday designs. She’s on the Simon Says Stamp blog with a video tutorial.
