Hi everyone, Josefine here. I’m super excited to be joining Dana for her Holiday Card Series 2019. Have you seen all the other posts yet? I watched some of the amazing videos that have been posted so far and definitely got some great inspiration. Let me fill you in on a little secret… these are my first Christmas cards for this year, so I can definitely use all this inspiration.
Make sure you are following this series for amazing holiday inspiration, giveaways, discount codes and don’t forget to leave a comment below to qualify all the giveaways. There will also be tutorials and cards shared by Dana as well and she will have a few surprises to share with you!
For my first cards this season, I picked a simple, yet fun design. Thanks to the Misti, I was able to create three similar card fonts rather quickly and was then able to customize all the backgrounds. But see for yourself how I made three super quick backgrounds – from “a lot of white space”, to “grungy”, and “spacy”.
What do you think? Great designs to start with?
Did adding some sparkle make it more festive?
I sure think so, because what is Christmas without the glitter 🙂

Josephine I have to admit, most of my inspiration has also come from this holiday series. I was way behind on my card making so I made a number of cards using many of the ideas drawn from Dana designers and I have to say I was not disappointed with the outcome.
Your cards are all so festive and you too have inspired me for more card making fun for today. Thanks for sharing your talent.
