Drumming in the Christmas Holidays Card non DT project on 8 Sept 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: this is just for creative fun card that I made for a few current challenges to get involved in during the early part of September! This is a mini slimline Christmas card measuring about 3.5" deep and about 4.5" wide!!! YES! 

when: card was made on Saturday Sept 6 and publishing on 8 September, 2025. 

what: Project #1: Drumming in the Holidays card

and a cropped scan to maybe see the satin sheen of the white paper better=

how-to & vendor notes for #1:

1. dark brown cardstock panel = neutrals cardstock paper pad = Colorbok

2. plaid with berry print + the red tonal geometric print = same paper pad = can't check the paper pad since it's out in my craft shed; I've forgotten

3. white Satin Sheen paper = CutCardStock

4. drum layered image = upcycled gift tag= distressed the edges = from multipack sold by Dollar General Stores

5. dimensional type foam adhesive tape used under the drum image and again under the red tonal geometric paper

6. dark brown retractable marker pen = Zebra Clickart
