🎄Day 4: Christmas Floral

Happy Saturday!

Welcome to Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas in July 2026 collaboration hosted by Monika (PaperMona), with Katarina joining in the festive fun!

Today's theme is Christmas Floral, and this project is especially close to my heart.

For this handmade Christmas card, I created soft metallic baubles decorated with beautiful Polish folk flowers, inspired by the traditional floral designs that were once hand-painted on Christmas ornaments in Poland. Folk art has always been an important part of my life, and I wanted to celebrate that heritage by combining it with my love of cardmaking.

I hope this project inspires you to look to your own traditions, memories, and culture when creating handmade cards. Sometimes the most meaningful inspiration comes from the stories we carry with us.

Thank you so much for watching! If you enjoyed today's project, I'd love it if you left a comment, gave the video a thumbs up, and subscribed for more Christmas inspiration throughout the series.

Happy Friday!

Welcome to Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas in July 2026 collaboration hosted by Monika (PaperMona) with Katarina joining in the festive fun!

Today's theme is Full of Sparkles, and I wanted to create something festive with plenty of shimmer. I designed a shaped window card entirely without using any cutting dies, proving that you don't need lots of fancy supplies to make a unique Christmas card.

To add that magical holiday touch, I used sparkle paste, which catches the light beautifully and gives the card a lovely festive sparkle. It was so much fun creating this project, and I hope it inspires you to try making shaped cards with supplies you already have.

🎄Day 2: Easy Watercolour Christmas Mug Card | Shaped Christmas Card

Happy Thursday!

Welcome to Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas in July 2026 collaboration hosted by Monika (PaperMona), with Katarina joining in the festive fun!

Today's theme is Shaped Card, and since July is also Watercolour Month, I decided to combine both by creating a handmade Christmas mug-shaped card using watercolour techniques.

My inspiration came from a beautiful ceramic mug I bought in Bolesławiec, Poland, a town famous for its traditional hand-decorated pottery. I loved the cozy shape and classic design, so I transformed that inspiration into a festive Christmas card perfect for the holiday season.

I hope this project inspires you to mix everyday inspiration with your cardmaking and to start creating for Christmas a little early. If you enjoyed today's project, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and come back tomorrow for Day 3 of the series!

Easy Handmade Cards for Any Occasion using SIMPLE CARD SKETCHES

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you have a fantastic day!

Sometimes all you need is a simple card sketch to spark your creativity! In today's project, I created three quick and easy handmade cards using basic layouts that can be adapted for any occasion.

These designs are perfect for beginners, require minimal supplies, and are a great way to use up patterned paper from your stash. By simply changing the colours, papers, and sentiments, you can create cards for birthdays, thank you notes, friendship cards, or any special occasion.

I love how versatile simple card sketches are—they take the guesswork out of cardmaking while still allowing plenty of room for creativity. Whether you're short on time or looking for inspiration, these three cards come together in minutes and are sure to become go-to designs in your crafting toolkit.

I hope this tutorial inspires you to give these sketches a try and create beautiful handmade cards of your own.
