Late to the Christmas party, but the penmanship is fashionably timeless. ✨️❤️

Sharing some belated joy with this monoline calligraphy card. This one made it home in time for the holidays 🥳

Although I have been doing calligraphy for a few years now, my first crafting love was card making. I love the feel of the paper creasing under the bone folder, the way the colors pop as I assembled layers together, even the satisfying pull of the paper backing on double sided tape ✨️

Through one of my fave card makers on YouTube (May May Made It) I discovered Cardz for Kidz, an amazing organization that at the time was in need for handmade book marks. I was hooked! Going through my paper stash to find the perfect pairings to make 66 bookmarks made for a very fun weekend 🙌🏼

I've since donated greeting cards a few more times and here are some from my latest batch. This time I'm able to incorporate my calligraphy too 🥰 and I can't wait for the next time I sit down to make them some more

Here's where you can find them:
