I had such fun creating today's card and video tutorial! I knew the design I wanted to create and the colors I wanted to use but had quite the time choosing the background image to use. Until I spotted the Merry Christmas to All stamp set. There is one cute swirl image that was perfect for the background on my card.
It's funny but for the first time ever I started my card design by choosing my embellishments and letting them determine the colors for my card. I earned Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins combo pack for free during Sale-a-bration and love it. They add the perfect finish to handmade cards and other paper projects. The twine has metallic thread woven through for delicate glimmer.
For the repeating phrase I used my Good Morning Magnolia bundle. If you love this bundle as much as I do, then check out my recent Facebook Live video where I share a bunch of cards using it.
My card is clean & simple (a stamping technique) but it can easily be jazzed up using the ideas I share on my video below.

Hello, hello, hello!
I was discussing with a couple of friends recently that this unusual season we are living in is the perfect time to get back to that old fashioned habit of writing a note and mailing a card.

That is a wonderful all occasion card; I'm going to have give a few of my stamp sets a second look now. Pinned!
