Morning, all!
Super quick. Running late. Have to get to work. Used My Mind’s Eye The Merry Days of Christmas patterned paper for this card. Enjoy!
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. :)

So beautiful. Love your string technique. I’m sorry to see day 25 come. This has been so great! Thank you!!
Again, what a great card!! Thanks for sharing all these with us, so sad to see them done tomorrow! You’ve become part of my morning routine, my girls have loved watching right along with me, especially my 6 yr old!! Thanks so much!!
You sounded tired today or sick? Another question, do you make these videos in the morning before you go to work? Or do you do them the night before?
I sound tired?! LOL! That’s because I was! I edited today’s video early early yesterday morning. These last few videos are being edited pretty much the night before or day of when they’re posted. :)
Wow, that’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing all these with us! YOU ROCK!
I love that curve you free-handed! I’ve seen you do this a couple of times, and you have such great control. This is a great card. I can’t believe it’s over tomorrow. Thanks for all of your time! :)

I love this card~very very cute & simple! I am in morning that tomorrow is your last video:( You spoiled us everyday w/your amazing videos & now it’s almost over! I will be tuning in once again every Monday & Friday!! Have a great day!

I’m so sad that this is the end of the series! I have so been looking forward to having a new card to watch every day for the last few weeks! Boo! Thank you so much for sharing, though – I know it’s been a ton of work!
Question – on these scallops you do, how do you make the large circle just the right size for your smaller circles to make a perfect border? I know if I try this, I’ll wind up needing a half a circle somewhere!!
I don’t consider the smaller circles when I cut the large circle. I just adjust the smaller ones a LOT when I adhere them. You just have to play with the spacing. :)
Well, you make it look so effortless! LOL. Thanks for the tip!! :)
this card is so cute and so creative, the thread is so nice, i tried it once in one of my cards and it took me a lot of time to tie a bow and it did not even come out like what you made. is there a trick on that one? anyway, i wish you can continue the everyday card, it’s what starts my day. thanks so much! i have a stressful job and card making helped me a lot, im glad i found your blog, your creativity has been such a great help.thanks!
No trick to it. Just have to slow down and take your time to adjust and re-adjust the strings.
Beautiful card! Again, thank you so much for your holiday card series Kristina. I have enjoyed every one of them. I’m sad tomorrow is the last day. ;^(
Just love how you attach the string bows on these cards, such a neat idea. So sad we are nearing the end, it’s gone so fast and I’ve loved a card every day! Thank you so much!!
beautiful card.
I have really enjoyed watching this series of videos. I hate to see it end! Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous! Love the hanging ornament effect! And great papers, too.
But EEEKKKK – day 25 tomorrow – already?!?
Cute like the reds Christmas is coming soon it seems like after Thanksgiving there is no more and Christmas will be here before you know it also there is so much going on for the holidays I think I have this coming weekend free every other weekend in Decemeber is booked. Love the Holidays but oh my gosh they wear me out!
You use a ton of dimensional adhesive, which I love, but can you mail it with just one stamp or do you use multiples?
thanks for all the great ideas!
A couple layers of dimensionals are okay. But if it gets a bit too thick, I add a bit of extra postage.
I just looked this up on the USPS website the other day and an envelope can be up to 1/4″ thick, thicker than that needs extra postage. Also need extra postage for square envelopes. They have the acceptible sizes all spelled out there.
beautiful card kristian…i can’t believe day 25 is tomorrow :( oh…my…gosh…where has the time gone…thanks again for sharing your wonderful cards :)
I love today’s card! I will miss seeing a card each morning! This was fun, thanks!
Love this card. I especially like it when you use string to “hand” the ornament. You’re put in a lot of work into this series of cards. We all appreciate it. Thanks.
Another lovely card. This is such a nice color red.

Beautiful card Kristina! Can’t believe this series is nearly at the end – I have loved every minute! Jo x
Super Kristina……I want to thank you for going through all this work and getting up early to edit and post. My goodness…..I am impressed. I always use my afternoon coffee break (in Germany) to watch your posts. What a relaxing 5 minutes. I am going to miss them
Danke Schoen

we are gonna be so sad when we don’t get a video from you everyday! :) atleast we’ll still have 2 a week, right!? hee! this is definitely another favorite out of this series! very cute with lots of fun elements!
Thanks for another great Holiday card! I have really enjoyed the videos each & every day. Please do this again!!
I am always amazed at your ability to cut shapes so precisely! I saw the picture before I watched the video and I thought you had used the coordinating ornament punch to punch the rub on out.
I assumed the same thing (incorrectly) and also thought you used the Coluzzle on the piece you drew by hand and then cut. I’m not too good drawing shapes and find hand cutting tedious, so I love using the tools if I have them. (Ya, I’m lazy!) Your series was great and obviously a big hit. Knowing the crazy amount of time it took to produce this “little” series, I wonder if you will subject yourself to it again?!
Happy Holidays, Kristina!
Love the red!!!! Wonderful card!
Super cute! I am going to miss the daily card. Thank you so much for doing this!
What a cute lil’ card! Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful card! So festive and simple. Sad to see this series end. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Great card, Kristina! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so much Kristina for a wonderful month full of inspiration. I am going to miss you a lot! The first thing I do in the morning is to come to your blog. My kids, 8 and 12 year old, enjoy your videos as well.
Love the card. I can’t believe it’s almost over. I really am sad!! lol. You’re so talented. Thanks for teaching all that you do. I live in your area so if you ever want to take on an intern or a scrapping buddy let me know! :)
Thanks so much Kristina for your wonderful cards they have been an inspiration :)
Just wanted to let you know – I’ve really been enjoying your card series! I keep meaning to post – esp. on Thanksgiving – WOW, you’ve worked so hard on these + the videos. You are AWEsome! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much for sharing. I too, like so many others, have enjoyed my daily dose of Kristina! Your ideas are such an inspiration. I purchased a Corner Chomper, you should get a kick-back :), and I’m in love!! Happy Holidays, Diana
Hey Kristina! I’ve been really enjoying your card series! Definitely a challenge I couldn’t do, a card a day (especially with a new baby!) Anyway, I was wondering if you were going to do an easy “mass production” kind of holiday card. I handmade all my Christmas cards already and wanted ideas for next year. I love all your designs! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!!
I am going to miss these daily videos A LOT! I love todays card.

Love this card. I always cover alot of my white cardstock cards and never thought about making the color paper larger then trimming the edges..DUH!
Another creative card. I have just loved seeing these videos daily. Such a nice treat.
Thank you so much for letting us watch you make Christmas cards. We love to watch what you do and then go to our red room (our crafty room) and try to make one like you. We always watch MACM too. Also Finally Friday. We love you.

Beautiful card. It’s one of my favorites! I can’t believe the 25 days of Christmas is almost over:( Thanks for all of your hard work in putting it together. It has been fabulous!!
I was just reviewing all your videos starting Day 1 and I was thinking, I really am going to miss this daily treat. It has become a part of my routine to watch your tutorial before I start working. I sure am going to miss that. Thank you for the wonderful mornings you have created for all of us :D
I love the card, I like the circles around the larger circle, I have done those and like the look, I love how you did the hand drawn arch. Great Great card.
I love that technique of putting the string on the card through the holes. Another adorable card!
I can’t believe we are almost to the end. Only one more to go :^(
