Here's some inspiration.  

With so many holidays coming up--Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, New Year's, what will you be making in December?  Are you whipping up some last minute holiday cards, or do you need to churn out some thank you cards! This month we want to see what NND projects you make in the last few weeks of 2024. Let's see what the IPC team is up to:

She uses the Frames & Flags die set for the scallop edging. She then stamps Snowflake Oval stamp set cut using a die from the Oval Frames die set. She uses an assortment of blue markers to color all the snowflakes. Enjoying all the snow is the feline from the Snow Angel Newton stamp set. She adds her sentiment from the Snowman Roundabout stamp set on a bit of vellum. Snow cute!


Amy Tollner is hauling in some holiday joy with this darling card! She pulls the plaid paper from the Canine Christmas Paper Pad cut using the postage-edge die from the Framework die set.

Crystal Minkler packs her holiday card with lots of festive holiday papers from the Christmas Time paper pad. She uses the A2 Card Layout die set to create her card layout and showcases the clowder of felines from the Cat Christmas Tree stamp and coordinating die set. Aren't they just the cutest? She adds her sentiment to a little banner using the Frames & Flags die set. So cute!
