Hellooo,

Happy Belated New Year to you.

Well, here we are in January already - a new year, new beginnings.

I know Christmas is done and dusted for 2025 but I’m still in the mood and decided to make a couple of Christmas cards for my first DT make for January. I like the simplicity and quick compilation of these.

First I chose my backgrounds and focal elements from Stamperia The Owls House range. I used the Journal pad but you can still use elements from the 12 x 12 paper pad too. I fussy cut out the elements I wanted to use.

In keeping with the snowflake theme, I die cut some snowflakes from the Sizzix Scribbly Snowflakes set for one of my cards as I’d used a printed die cut from The Owls House range for the other one. It's always good to die cut a bunch of these for future use (ie my second DT project to come :-D ).
