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.

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.

" The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills.

HERE Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

When I am at my art table, I feel peaceful and that result has been good enough for me. But as I was doing some research, I discovered much, much more was happening in my body and mind. The research tells the benefits based on scientific, psychological, historical and personal accounts. I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, therapist or scientist but I am a woman who has faced depression, anxiety and related conditions for years.
