Merry Monday- Very Best Occasions

 

With only 2 months until Christmas, I'm  sharing each Monday a "Merry Monday" card and giving Miss Monday a break (no worries she will be back in January). 

My first Merry Monday card was made for a recent swap using the Very Best Occasions stamp set and Spruced Up Outline Dies. 

The Very Best Occasion Stamp set is only $25 and comes with 12 great sayings! Grab it now and use it all year round! 

However, I couldn't decide which bow I liked better. Baker's Twine or Paper Bow??

For the swap I went with the Paper Bow A) because I already had them punched out from Stamp Camp leftovers and B) they were super fast and easy! 

Be sure to stamp the inside of your Christmas cards. This just may be my favorite saying from this set "With a little more Sparkle and a little less stress, let's make this Christmas the very best."
