Hi friends,

It’s time to start making a few Christmas cards each month to be ready when the season comes to send them out. 🙂 This will be my 3rd year of doing this and it’s made such a difference! I hope you’ll join me this year in building up your Christmas card stash. 🎄

If I’m being honest, I wasn’t feeling much Christmas inspiration this month so January’s card is clean and simple. 🙂

I used the Ornamental Greetings stamp set from Unity Stamp Company to create a simple ornament for the front of my card. The set includes 4 different stamps for making ornaments. My set also included 2 circle dies and the ornament topper die – but I’m not sure they are still available. 🤔

I stamped the sentiment with red ink on white card stock and die cut it with a 2.5 inch circle die and layered it to a 3 inch circle die cut from red card stock. (This is a great set of circle dies.) I die cut the ornament topper from silver mirrored card stock and attached it to the top of the circle. Then I tied on a piece of red and white bakers twine for the hanger. You can also punch a hole in place of the ornament topper and turn it into a tag instead.

I embossed a piece of green card stock with a berry branch embossing folder and attached it to a white card. This embossing folder is discontinued, but any “Christmas-y” folder will work great – I think this one would be pretty. Then I attached the ornament to the card with foam tape.

Sometimes just getting into your craft room can get your creative juices flowing. I like the way this card turned out! It’s a simple and quick card with a heartfelt Christmas wish. And it can be made with any simple Christmas sentiment or image stamp that fits into a circle. 🙂

Looking forward to making more Christmas cards in 2024! 🎄
