Welcome to Day 1 of my 30 Days of Christmas Cards event!
Throughout the month of November, I’ll be sharing a brand-new Christmas project every single day. You’ll find a mix of reels, YouTube Shorts, videos, and live demonstrations designed to inspire your holiday crafting and help you create beautiful handmade cards for everyone on your Christmas list.
And what better way to start than with a two-fer!
Day 1: Merry & Bright

Today’s theme is Merry & Bright, and I have not one, but two stunning card designs to share with you.
Both cards feature the beautiful Shining Stars Dies, the Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder, and the gorgeous Neutral Noel Designer Series Paper. The elegant gold accents paired with the soft neutral background create a sophisticated Christmas look that is simply breathtaking.
The photos are beautiful, but honestly, they don’t do these cards justice. The gold shine, metallic details, and dimensional elements are absolutely stunning in person!
One card features a traditional fold with sparkling gold stars and rich texture, while the second card adds a fun surprise. This interactive design includes a removable tag that provides the perfect place to write a special holiday message, tuck in a gift card, or add a personal note for the recipient.


Whether you prefer traditional designs or interactive cards, today’s projects offer inspiration for both styles.
