Time for Merry Mondays

It's time for Merry Mondays, something I started last year; I feature a new holiday card each week. I found that if I start creating my Christmas cards in July, and make at least one each week, I can have them ready to send out in December, without stressing over having to make so many at once! I also feature Christmas cards in my Card Clubs and Cards-by-Mail each month from now until December. It's a great time to purchase products and start making your cards.

So first up: a card using the new Tidings & Trimmings bundle.

I actually created this card for my first in-person Card Club in over a year! I wanted to display new products and samples, and this was one of them. Isn't it pretty? And you'll see, it is very easy and duplicatable-- something I love for my holiday cards.

The "star" of the show (pun intended 😁) is that gorgeous star! Created using only the dies in the Christmas Trimmings set, I first cut a Mossy Meadow solid star, then layered the Copper Foil detail on top (it's another die in the set). See? EASY!

The gingham checked paper is a returning favorite, Heartwarming Hugs. I love it as much this year as I did last year!

Just look at the detail on that star! And the little Mossy Meadow and Copper sprigs were also cut from the dies. I layered it all on a Stitched So Sweetly rectangle, stamped with a greeting from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set.
