march 2021: get cracking on christmas

Hi there crafty friends! Welcome to the March 2021 Get Cracking on Christmas Challenge. This is a fun monthly challenge that was started by my friend Jenn Shurkus to challenge people to work on their Christmas cards all year long. I know that my biggest problem last year was addressing ALL the envies, and I also ran out of cards so I was making them at the last minute too. So I plan to do a dozen envelopes each month as well. 

This month, I wanted to make a little stash of cards, and use some things that needed to get more love. One of the things I buy and never seem to use are 6 x 6 paper pads. I love collecting them, and this month, I took one that I have been saving and cut it up to create card front panels. I combined each one with a CZ Design or SImon Says die from my stash and a few clear gemstones. Clean, simple and super easy to create…and I finally got good use out of some of those pretty papers. Please scroll down for a closer look at each card and a full list of supplies, in case you want some of these for your own! This paper pad is no longer available as far as I can tell, but there are a ton of other great ones out there and you may just have some in your stash like me 🙂
