After a MUCH needed break, I am back to doing what I love, stamping and coloring! Today's card is one I have been wanting to share with you for quite a while. I absolutely love everything about this card!
To make great cards, you have to start with great supplies. My card today will focus on the Nutcracker Sweet stamps and dies (they are also a part of a larger bundle but we will get to that later) and my beloved OLO Markers.
And for this one, you do need a little bit of time. In total, it took me 24 minutes to make this. From cutting the supplies, to stamping, coloring to assembling – and I had to stop at some point to answer the door for my a pet food delivery. All in all, I don't think that's too long to make a stunning card like this!
How fun is this card? It doesn't take many supplies at all and there are 3 different nutcrackers in that stamp set to pick from.
Because I love you, I made a video for you. I sped it up, but it's still pretty long to watch. What I hope you see in that video is that I'm not doing anything wild and crazy with my coloring. I was just relaxing and coloring, listening to Christmas music, and enjoying every second of this creative process.
The video is below, and I've got your supply list right here for you.

There are two main companies that I used for this card, Catherine Pooler Designs and OLO Markers.
AND if you are worried about shipping times, both of these companies ship crazy fast in my experience with each! So plenty of time!
