Card Making,  Inspiration,  Stamp Of The Month

The 12 Days of Christmas Cards Day 1

November 4, 2019 /

Hello crafty friends! I can’t believe we are in November already! I know others have already been sharing Christmas cards but I wanted to get through October first. However, the holidays are upon us and I’m excited to share day one of my 12 days of Christmas Cards. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I will be uploading a new video featuring a handmade festive Christmas card. You can subscribe to my channel here so you don’t miss any upcoming videos.

Here is my first card! I love the traditional color pallet. I can practically smell the fresh pine from the beautiful wreath! Close your eyes and just imagine that delicious scent. Or it could be my pine-scented candle flickering on the table next to me.

The stamp set I used to create this card is our December stamp of the month. It will be available for the month of December only so mark your calendars! Starting December 1st with any $50 purchase you can get this set for $5. A Merry Christmas 🎁 gift for yourself!

I used the pine bough image from the stamp to create my Christmas wreath. I love looking beyond the images you see to stretch them even further and create something new and maybe unexpected. The Christmas Red Stickles glitter gel was a fun way to add my sparkly red berry clusters. To watch this card come together you can view the YouTube tutorial below

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you are inspired and stay tuned for more Christmas cards!
