3 Holiday Cards, in Chronological Order, As It Should Be!

Thou shalt not have Christmas before Halloween! At least, in my world. We have 68 days until Halloween, and I'm cooking up a door decoration that if it works, I will film :)

I made today's projects in MAY if you can believe it - I'm also psyched about Halloween in May. But we were working on the holiday catalog, so we can finally reveal it.

There is a series of these cute peeking dies, one of WITCH is a WITCH, so I am starting with that. I ink blended a lime gree background, with grey ink on top for a spooky, Wicked-inspired feel. I blended those same inks on the edge of the witch die cut like the fog was creeping across her face. I accented her with white gel pen and added bats and this awesome number series you can use for any holiday. 


There are also Christmas peekers like this little deer. I added some mid-century modern flair with this background stamp.


But my favorite might be this sort of wistful New Year's card with this tree. I chose pinks because that's just always such a sweet and unexpected winter holiday color. I also used brown instead of black for a softer look. That little bunny is so sweet.

  28. Although you meant for the bunny card to be a new years card I think it would also make an adorable Easter card. The little chocolate bunny enjoying the new spring foliage on the tree.
