The Countdown to Christmas is on !!! Michael, Lisa and I are creating holiday cards each month to inspire you . Having a stash of cards to send out helps you beat some of the holiday rush . Every little bit helps - whether you make 1 card or many cards . I try to address the envelopes as I make the cards which saves additional time.
Today - October 25 - is also World Fussy-Cutting Day . It honors Sharon Klima, a beloved papercrafter who died of a heart attack . It's a day to focus on the joy of papercrafting and mindfulness and raising awareness for women's heart health - reminding us to pause, connect and take care of our hearts (both literally and figuratively). I love to fussy-cut and used the beautiful Hero Arts - Christmas Robins stamp set for my cards today . The digital background paper is from KCS Designs by Kim - Christmas Gingham Journal Papers. You can find so many amazing digi designs in her ETSY shop and they are all 35% off .
- The birdhouses, bells and birds were stamped on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink .
- I colored the images with my OLO markers.
- All images were then fussy-cut .
- I printed & then adhered the Christmas Gingham paper to 2 card bases .
- The birdhouses were adhered to the patterned paper .
- I placed the bells and birds on each birdhouse with foam tabs for added dimension .
- I used Tim Holtz Small Talk stickers for my sentiments. They are always perfect for a finishing touch .
Please be sure to take aa look at what Michael and Lisa have made . They always inspire me to create more cards !!

Thanks so much for joining us as we get ready for the holiday season .. We hope you are enjoying some beautiful Fall weather wherever you are . I look forward to seeing you next month as we get even closer to Christmas . I recently retired October 1 and this year I will have every holiday off !! As an RN, I worked weekends and holidays for the past 40 years so I will thoroughly enjoy this year's as a free woman !!
Until next time, Stay Creative
