Besides my birthday and Thanksgiving, Christmas is my absolutely favorite holiday! Yes, indeedy it is!
Last year I started my card making journey and did you know, I didn't make not even one Christmas card? Not a one--how horrible for a card maker. I won't bore you with all the reasons (no, not excuses) why I didn't make and/or send any, but let's just say that I had competing craft interests--I was making jewelry pieces (my usual holiday gifts). This year, so that I don't fall into the proverbial time trap--AGAIN--I'm starting to make Christmas (cards) in July!
The first card is made using a Masking and Sponging technique. I saw this card on a YouTube video by Tami White - also a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and CAS it...not everything but mostly the technique.

I truly enjoyed making this card. Remember, you can be creative...change colors, the focal stamp, or even the sentiment. Just remember to have fun. #creativeexpressions #feelingcrafty
