Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ... it's a Christmas card! I've been trying to make one a week in 2026 (some weeks work better than others)! I'm pleased to report that this one sold, almost before the ink was dry!
Materials used:
- White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
- Card in white and deep green, for my card front, insert and matting layer
- Snippets of card in white and deep green
- WRMK nesting banner dies to die cut my banner sentiment from the white and green snippets
- John Next Door holly background (JND135 - A prize from Allsorts in December 2025 and NBUS) stamped using Versafine Clair shady lane ink
- Aall & Create sentiment (from set #607 - turned out to be THE perfect fit for the white banner snippet) stamped using Versafine Clair strawberry ink but a little small for the insert, etc so .....
- Elsewhere on the card I used the slightly larger sentiment and holly sprig (from Aall & Create set #608) stamped using Versafine Clair shady lane and strawberry inks.
- Red glitter felt tip used to add some colour, to the holly berries
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
- Rudolph Day - March challenge - ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES
- NBUS - challenge No. 84 - USE NBUS
- The Holly and Ivy - challenge No. 201 - ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES
- Merry Little Christmas - challenge No. 67 - ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES
- ABC of Christmas - March 11th challenge - "E, F & G" - Elves. Foliage and Gems ... here's hoping that sprigs of holly count as foliage!

A lovely CAS design. Well done on using your NBUS too.
Beautiful Christmas card, Kathy. A lovely overall design, but still has a CAS look.

Happy Rudolph Days - this is a great card so I'm not surprised it was snapped up quickly
Love this card full of holly.

Super holly card. Very Christmassy!
Your beautiful holly certainly counts as foliage, Kathy, and the glittery berries look so dimensional. I've never seen a red glittery felt tip before, but I'm adding one to my wish list!
Thanks for sharing with us ABC Christmas Challenges and I hope you will join us again soon.
