Time for Holiday Cards!

 Hi Artzy friends-

Happy Thanksgiving to you! I hope you are all having a nice quiet, safe holiday. I'm sending you all virtual hugs, with the hopes that we will all be able to see other soon for the real thing!

If you're like me, you have good intentions of working on your holiday cards early, but the real card making frenzy doesn't start until after Thanksgiving. Please don't tell me that your cards are already made, signed, and addressed! Haha! 

My husband saw me making this card and loved it! He wants me to make it for all of our family and friends this year. While I don't usually mass produce my holiday cards, this one wouldn't be too difficult to do, so I will definitely be making more of them!


I cut a piece of white cardstock with the largest die from the Wavy Slimline Framelit die set. I love the nice finished look that a dotted border gives on a card panel. I then cut the bottom of the panel with one of the wavy dies from the Curvy Slimline Border die set. The border dies in this set are also dotted, so they pair nicely with the slimline framelits. I placed the white panel with the curved edge in my Misti so I could set up my image and sentiment stamps to stamp right where I wanted them. The stamps are from the Just Chillin' stamp set.  This image is super quick and easy to color and I just love the little penguin sitting on the polar bear's head! 




This set has some other super cute images, as well as some snowflakes included. 



The snowflakes I used here were from the Slimline Snowflake die set.  Some were cut out of glitter paper; some were glittered with Stickles. You could use any kind of glitter or glittery medium you'd like to make your snowflakes sparkle! 

After my panel was complete I cut a strip of paper from the Snow Much Fun collection and adhered that along the bottom of my card base. I then cut a scalloped edge on a strip of solid blue cardstock using another die from the Curvy Slimline Border set. The curve on the scalloped border die is the same as the curve on the die I used on the bottom edge of my card panel, so I adhered that on the back, so that the scallops just peeked out the bottom of my white panel. I then adhered the piece to my card base, lining up the top edges.

    1. Thank you! I think I need to teach him to use a paper trimmer and die cut machine and put him to work!

    1. Thanks! Ummm...if I make one card with every (new) holiday stamp I own, I would never need to duplicate a card! LOL!
