Well, here we are .. The holidays have past us by and now we can get our crafty selves in gear for more holiday card inspiration throughout 2026 !! Lisa, Michael and I will post cards each month on the 25th and hope you will follow along with us and maybe even start early to create some of your own.
For my January cards, I used a stamp set by Penny Black - Baubles & Boughs .I have had this set for awhile and just never inked it up , It's an easy stamp to color and create with , There are 4 stamps - the branch and 3 ornaments .
- I stamped the bough then placed the ornaments and stamped them also, using my MISTI . I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink .
- The image was colored with my COPICS.
- I die-cut the 2 stamped panels with a Stitched Square die .
- Using card bases from a Recollections boxed set, I placed the stamped panels using foam tabs .
- A Tim Holtz sentiment sticker was placed on each completed stamped panel .
It feels good to know I will once again have a stash of cards to send when December arrives. I also address envelopes ahead of time which makes the process of holiday mailing even easier !! I hope you will follow the links below to see what Lisa and Michael have created.

I am not in the wrath of Winter Storm Fern but I used to know someone named Fern who had a lot of ferns, but I digress. Love your cards!! Stay warm this weekend.
ReplyDeleteNice cards! Penny Black stamps are one of my favorite brands. My favorites are the ones with teddy bears.
