NEW TUTORIAL: Love & Joy! A Cozy Christmas Take on Yesterday’s Sketch


Hello Reader,

Yesterday’s sketch gets a cozy Christmas makeover! Today’s card pairs the Noel Tidings Bundle with snowflake patterns from Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper for a warm, inviting holiday greeting.

Layers of Home for Christmas Two-Tone Cardstock frame the design, while Basic White keeps the sentiments crisp and fresh. The 2-3/8", 2", and 1-7/8" Circle Punches make the layered focal point a breeze. A bow from the Neutrals Jute Combo Pack adds a touch of rustic charm!

WHAT I LOVE: The mix of a crisp diagonal panel and layered circles! Simple shapes let the pretty paper and heartfelt sentiments shine.
