25 Days of Holiday Cards Day 25

Wednesday, December 25, 2019




Hello and welcome to Day 25 of my 25 days of holiday cards! Today's card was created with Anna's gingerbread house dies. I used just the front of the easel card to adhere to an A7 card base.


Thank you for sticking out this year's 25 cards! As you might notice, I forgot to schedule Days 22-25. Oy! Facepalm. I got so slammed with deadlines and assignments for a new company I am working with that I did not come back and check that they went live. I know....I'm hanging my head in shame.

So from my house to yours, I hope you had a beautiful holiday with your family and you have an amazing New Year!

25 Days of Holiday Cards 2019 edition!

Sunday, December 1, 2019



Hello friends! It's that time of year again and I am looking forward to the next 25 days of creative holiday cards being shared here on my blog. 

Last year a tragedy occurred which stopped me from sharing all 25 cards...I caught a cold and was eating soup while posting and when I got up, I lost my balance and into the laptop when my soup. 

Yep, it was fried in minutes...all the photos I had taken of my cards were lost. I didn't back them up like a dummy and was sooooo sad and upset.

So this year, I'm leaving that tragedy in the past and looking forward to sharing holiday creativity!

So with that said, here's Card #1 of 2019's 25 Days of Holiday Cards!


I created this card using Anna Griffin's Wreath Dies. I love the pop of red holly leaves from another one of Anna's die sets called Mini Christmas Botanical dies.

I like to use pop dots on the backside of my dies to give them dimension. I did that with the white wreath die-cut.

This card is 6x6 and does cost a little extra postage if you are mailing but it's worth it. Who doesn't love a beautiful handmade Christmas card? 

I'll see you tomorrow with Card #2!
