Are you ready to deck the halls once again? It's time to start feeling the Christmas spirit and one way to do that is with a jump start on Christmas cards. I created a holiday card set using a few of my favorite Maya Road supplies beginning with the Our Town Stamp Strip. This grouping of house images speaks of cozy, holiday spirit.
My card set is bundled together very simply using Watermelon Baker's Twine, a Vintage Button Stick Pin, and a Clear Vintage Raspberry Bead.
I used Canvas Shipping Tags on both cards and topped this first card with a chipboard heart from the Love Mini Chipboard Set. I painted the heart with off-white acrylic paint, sanded the edges to distress it a bit, and then coated it with Maya Road Iridescent glitter.
I rolled up three strips of Red Ruffle Edge Trim to create tiny roses, threaded a Green Trinket Pin through the canvas tag and tied it with Red Gingham Ribbon.
I added a White Kraft Snowflake,a Vintage Wood Snowflake and a chipboard heart from the Shot Through the Heart Chipboard Set covered in Cherry Red Glitter.
Hope you enjoy creating for the holidays!

Well, that's super true. And that is another good reason why improving our homes is such an important part of moving forward. A comfortable home with all the things needed and a great environment is a must especially for families. Feeling safe in our homes is also a huge priority for me.
