Christmas Card Inspiration 2024

It's that time of the year again to start making your holiday cards. Some of you may have started already but if not, I got some resources for you. I know many of you love cardmaking and scrapbooking, so I am excited to share this information with you.

In this blog post I will share my Christmas card video playlist, a Michaels card event and five YouTube holiday card tutorials to watch from Gina K., Simon Hurley and others.

From "Julie Nutting Doll Stamp & Christmas Card Tutorial" Video

First of all, I have a playlist of several Christmas card video tutorials I created a few years ago. The ideas are still good so I thought I would share them. You will learn how to use Julie Nutting Doll stamps, paints, patterned papers, lady stencil and even flowers to make wonderful keepsake cards.

(Off to go find it!) Look, I found my precious little diary! Although it smells dusty and the paper has yellowed, my young words and thoughts are so sweet! Here is what I wrote May 21st. I was on a school trip to a camp called Rawhide when I was in the 6th grade, I think. "Today at Rawride and my horses name was Chinadoll. Elizabeth was so mean to sha-jauna and them.
