Hi friends! 🎄✨

I’m kicking off my first Christmas cardmaking video of the year and I couldn’t be more excited! Today I’m creating festive cards using the beautiful A Very Merry Christmas Collection by Echo Park and a card sketch by Jess Crafts.

To make these cards even more personal, I designed my own sentiments and focal points using Canva, which was such a fun way to customize each card and use exactly what I needed!

Using a sketch + your own printed elements makes the process so easy and creative—perfect for getting a head start on your holiday cards.

This project is great for:

Getting ahead on Christmas cards
Beginner cardmakers
Using up your patterned paper stash
Creating your own sentiments with Canva

These came together quickly and I love how everything coordinates 💛
