Merry & Bright

Hi everyone and happy Saturday :)

It seems, I am in Christmas cardmaking fever, recently *lol*

But hey.. it's only 7 weeks until December 25th! Therefore...high time to start creating your Christmas greetings for all your loved ones!

For the card shown above I have used one of the newly released stamp sets from Clearly Whimsy Stamps "Sparkle and Shine" together with my go to inks from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and the dies, you may have noticed a LOT on my cards, recently. This is the curved one from the "Stitched Border Die Trio" which was also designed by SC Design for Clearly Whimsy Stamps.

Please refer to the grey boxes below this post for step-by-step instructions and a complete list of supplies :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope to see you here on my blog again, soon :)
