A Card a Day in December--Holiday Style!

Hello friends! It’s December, which means we have finally made it to the last month of 2020. We did it, we are surviving a pandemic, we are managing a thousand things at once—our families, households, jobs, our stamping and hobbies, our pets, our Netflix addiction and the list goes on and on! Which is why, I want to be fully present in this holiday season. Somehow, it means just a little bit more. Gone are many of the things we have been able to enjoy in the past. However, I am blessed to still be creating and loving what I do.

So today is Day 1 of my A Card a Day in December—Holiday Style Event. I am going to share 25 holiday cards or projects and end the month with a week of New Years Cards! So I hope you are ready for your daily dose of inspiration!

Don’t you just love coordinating projects? I do! they are so fun to give as a little gift and I don’t think anyone will mind getting a cute little hand sanitizer project this season!

My first project I want to share is this fun holiday card and matching hand sanitizer project! I decided to use a traditional color palette of Real Red, Whisper White and Old Olive!

I used the Little Treats Bundle as the starting point of my card and hand sanitizer holder. I stamped the little candy stamps around the phrase in Real Red. I cut a strip of Real Red card stock that I embossed with the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder. I added a polka dot strip of DSP from the Trimming the Town Designer Paper on top.

 

The sentiment is from the Little Treats stamp set and is stamped in Old Olive ink on Pear Pizzazz card stock. I added some ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon combo pack and the silver cord is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit.

I added a few embellishments from the All the Trimmings collection and a classic Jewelled Rhinestone.

This card is simple but cute and easily reproducible!

This little project is one of my favorites! I was so happy when I realized that a mini hand sanitizer could fit inside!

The Little Treat Box dies are so easy to use and assemble and I love that you can get two out of one piece of 8 1/2 x 11 card stock.

The candy canes are from the Sweetest Time Bundle which has been a well used stamp set in my craft room this season!

The stitched scallop circle is included in the Little Treat Box dies too!

I hope you have enjoyed my first card in A Card a Day in December—Holiday Style!
