NOTE: There is also a Finally Friday video today. Check it out!
Here we are at the end of the first week! Can you believe it? Today’s card uses a stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Tree Trimmings. I love this stamp set because of the shapes of the ornaments–so traditional and endearing. Love them! And ornaments really are a simple and elegant image on cards, aren’t they? :)
The Holiday Card Series will pick back up on Monday with Day 6. :)
NOTE: I’ve received a LOT of questions about the music included in the videos. It is a 10-second clip of royalty-free music I purchased online. It’s not a real song from an album. :)

Oh my goodness! LOVE this! Love the ‘non- traditional’ color palette! Thanks, Kristina!
I am so jealous of your handwriting and what a treat, you are going to be doing videos on the weekends too! I guess I just assumed you would skip those!! Very cute card and it shows how to make a simple and beautiful card!
So sorry! I made a note of it in the entry that the HCS will pick back up on Monday. I just added a note to the video as well. :)
Love what you did with this cute set…. wish I’d bought it now! Jo x
you did it again…. thanks
Lovely. I have stickles, but I have yet to use them. I’m going to give them a try with a similar card. Thanks for the inspiration.
I logged on today to look at Finally Friday and was rewarded with 25 days of holiday cards! What a bonanza – 5 days at once. Great idea and wonderful cards. Thank you.

Thanks for your fabulous cards. Never miss one.
I just came back from vacation and see you are going to have these videos! What a treat for us all. Thank you for all this work. Your cards really inspire me.
This is such a beautiful card. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Thank you so much…I have this stamp set and LOVE your simple treatment! I can do this! But, my handwriting is NOTHING like yours. Again, very jealous!
Wow that looks really great!
the glitter gives a whole new dimension!
take care!

Wow so quick and simple! Enjoy this one! My handwriting sucks but I have the noel stamp. Will use that one. :)
So inspirational to watch your videos. Thanks for all that you do to encourage us.
I wonder – will you be putting together a review each week, just so I can copy one file with several ideas?
Cute cards. I think the stickles really make the card pop!
Damn cute card…stickles changed the entire look.
Thank you.
I need to get me some stickles!!! :)
It’s simply beautiful and so neat…
Love it. Can’t wait til monday. Thanks for the email reply also =)
Nice and simple and still so cute. I love the sparkles.
Two words…simple elegance. I just love the whimsy little loops they are hanging from. I need to take your advice and just slow down when writing and see if it makes a difference. Have a fabulous weekend!!
WOW!
Two videos in a single day
you have out down yourself!
I love them both. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for two great cards and two great videos. Your blog gives a whole new meaning to “Thank God it’s Friday”!
I am in love with the simple elegance if this card. Beautiful work!!
I love these moments watching the video of the day.
Thank you!
Wow so cute! You are so talented :)
Another wonderful card!! Just love it!

Oh, I so wish that you had a book on how to learn your handwriting. I just love it – and that SU set from 2 days ago – love it too!
I am loving the Holiday card series. Thank you for putting so much time into it. I will be so very sad when it ends.
Thanks again…
Before I even watch the video I have to say what a pretty card!
I have an idea… how about creating a font of your handwriting and selling it???? Kind of like the virtual card club??? So many people love your handwriting. I saw a website where you can download your own handwriting to create a font: http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/how-do-i-use-these-fonts/
There’s a section of my FAQ that covers my handwriting as a font. :) Click here.
Oh – now I remember reading that. Thanks.
This is a beautiful card. I love the ornaments.
I love your handwriting. I would buy a stamp set of your handwriting. The card is so beautiful. Adding the stickles made it just pop.
Love your “free hand” style writing and embellishment of details! You inspire me so much!!!
Love the card! I especially love the “Noel.” Wish it was a stamp as I am definitely going to need to practice a lot before my handwriting looks like that. I would also buy a stamp set of your handwriting.
I love the fact that it is a simple card but with lots of impact.
Eveline.
So festive and beautiful. You make things look so simple.
Lovely card! It is very festive! Thank you for sharing you beautiful designs.
Fabulous creation, Kristina!
This card is fantastic, thank you for sharing a Christmas card a day with us! Also, are you designing for Basic Grey? the preview of new collections on their home page totally looks like your style. If so, I can’t wait to see! I’m sure I’ll love it!
I rally am loving the christmas videos.
Not sure if they’re all done or not. But I really prefer the cards that are “live,” the ones that are not voiced-over. It’s really nice to hear your though process through it all. It’s part of the creative process I think we like to watch.
No biggie if none were made that way, just a personal preference.
LOVE the series, love your creativity, love ALL your cards!! Thank you so much!

WOW what a simple little card that you made look so elegant! Love it!
Thank you so much for all the cards. I appreciate all the work that you put into this. On the days I can’t get to do anything more crafty than ironing, it’s nice to be able to come here for about 5 minutes and see what you’ve been up to.
Congratulations… I love all your creations. You have an unique style. Beautiful!!!!
Awesome they say another mans junk is another man treasures!! This all looks great and thank you doe your awesome site

Hi,
This is the best site I’ve found. Ive learned so much in card making from you. To stay organized, it;s hard but I go through my material about once a month. What I don’t use, I give it to someone who could use it.
