Morning, all!
We’re back to our regular schedule with Make a Card Mondays. :) For this week’s card, even though you’ve just seen 25 holiday cards, I made another holiday card. LOL! I’ll continue these up until after Christmas, so you’ll see a few more.
For the sentiment, I used Ali Edward’s Technique Tuesday stamp set, Peace Joy Love. I love how the words are separate in this set–it allows you to use just bits and pieces of the phrase, or the entire thing like I did here. I also used a stamp set from Inkadinkado.For paper, I used My Mind’s Eye.
Enjoy!

Great Christmas card. I love the paper, I love MME.
Eveline.
I love your cards.. I just wanted to letcha know that the Christmas card series was VERY appreciated :)
I would have NEVER guessed that was Valentine paper! Great card!
Happy Monday Kristina, hope it’s a good one. Such beautiful colours I would never have thought of using non Christmas paper.Of course now I’m going to HAVE to go and buy some of MME papers !!!
Another great video!
Great Card and good use of different paper. I’ve started putting my glitter and embossing powders in bigger containers. It’s so much neater on my desk now, thanks to you. But I still wind up with glitter on my face somehow:)
What a great tip about the Valentine paper! I appreciate that you’re still doing Christmas cards. I need all the inspiration I can get.
Again…a great big “thanks” for the HCS!! It was fab. :)

That’s soo beautiful….. i really enjoy it .. and the paper is gorgeous…. love it love it !
What another beautiful card – thanks for sharing all these beautiful cards with us !!
Loved the card as always. Colors didn’t show on my computer as reds though. I saw more orange or peach. I actually clicked on your web link to see colors of paper. Don’t know if that is my computer or just the video. Either way still loved the card.
Love the card and the use of new valentine’s day paper. I know it is early to be thinking of valentine’s day, but are there any other paper packs for valentine’s day that you just love??
Thanks so much!
Great card! I love using non-traditional Christmas colors.
Great card and great thought outside of the box using papers from another theme, thank goodness for both sides of the paper. Would of never known if you had’nt shown. Thanks for sharing.
This is a favorite and I have all the stamps! Thanks for another great card!
MME is my all time FAV!!! I must admit I would have never grabbed Be Loved for a Christmas card!
FANTASTIC idea! Thanks so much!
OMG! YOu ROck!! I was so happy when I stumbled onto your blog. Trust me when I say I subscribe to ALOT of blogs, and each day that I open each blog, YOU have everyone beat by far! You make things look so clean, neat, and so simple. I love your style. I look for your blog email now and know that I can get the inspiration to craft away. So you rock, and you have an awesome blog, so glad I found you! thanks for all the inspiration!!
These aren’t traditional Christmas colors but they really work. How do you come up with these color combinations?
hi kristina!
what a strange feeling..i keep opening your blog, waiting for your holiday card, then i say to myself, oh no, she’s back to MACM now -.- it’s the 3rd time today!
i love your cards, tips and your creations :)
love, laura
Very cute card…also loved the Christmas series. This was a surprise though – no idea the red paper was actually part of a Valentine pack!
Wow, I just ran into your youtube stuff while seaching for ways to use my Cricut and SCAL. I know that I’ll be watching that for many months to come while I figure out how to really use my machine.
Thanks for sharing.
I do have questions about SVG files. Where is the best place to get them?
There are a ton of websites out there with SVG files. You can probably google it and find them. I do know that all the digital cut kits at twopeas have SVG files in them: Digital Die-cut Kits at TwoPeas
Hi Kristina. Great card! Thanks for the great tip on using supplies for things other than their original intent.
Aren’t you the smartest! Never would have thought of using Valentine’s paper! Super card and thanks for sharing!
Beautiful colors, love the way you put them together! Thank you!
One of my favorites of all time. Beautiful job.
Just wanted to point out to all the readers who want to buy a corner chomper that its available for about 18 dollars with free shipping, since its out of stock at TwoPeas (I asked and they said they don’t even have an idea of when it’s coming in). That’s all!
Love the card Kristina, it might be one of my favorites :)
<3 Karen
woops i meant to say its available AT overstock.com
hehe, silly me.
I njoyed your 25 days of Christmas videos. It was my daily wind down and fix. U make it look so easy. Will miss having one EVERYDAY! Thx
OMG! Thought u would want to be one of the 1st to know that We R Memory Keepers have come out w/ TWO new corner chompers – one in a scallop/cloud shape (that’s the one I got =o) and the other is a picture corner/victorian curve ^_^
This is quite pretty and very unique with the different color scheme.
Although this card is easy,it is so special!
Very cute! I love the colors and what a great idea to use Valentines paper! :)
I know I’m way late commenting, but wanted to say thanks for this inspiration – very cute card. This is a good reminder to look at supplies with fresh eyes, to see what else they could be used for. Always good to try to get the most out of our supplies – helps make the craft budget go further!
Hi Kristina,
I know I’m chiming in kind of late on this card…I’m behind on my blog reading!
I was curious how you are feeling about the VersaMark Dazzle ink? It’s hard to tell from the photo if it came out dazzleish or not. It might be pretty for my Valentine cards if it works well.
I actually didn’t notice a huge visible difference between Dazzle and regular. However, the embossing does cover it up quite a bit. The Dazzle did give it a bit of a blue duotone, though. A slight shimmer. I need to experiment with it more to see what else I can do with it. :)
