Hi there!

Some days my craft table feels like a tiny stage, and today’s star showed up in her brightest winter blues ready to belt out a holiday tune. Once I paired her with this vintage sheet-music collage paper, she looked so committed to her performance that I half expected her to break into a very dramatic “fa la la la la.”

I had a lot of fun building a snowbank for her to stand on, complete with glittery icicles and a tidy little tree decorated in matching blue ornaments. It’s the kind of playful mix that makes card making feel a little like holiday decorating in miniature form.

✂️ Studio Tip: A touch of white paint brushed lightly over your background (like I did to the sheet music collage, above) can soften harsh edges and blur strong contrast. It helps your focal image pop forward while still keeping the scene cohesive.

Wishing you a wonderfully creative day.
