Christmas Cards - FINISHED

I've been a busy elf and have finished up the last of the Christmas cards that I need for this year!

I wanted to use some of my (often neglected) stamps, so I pulled out a variety and set to work. I layered papers and punched scalloped circles for these first three cards.

This Santa stamp is one of my favorites.
 
 I used some of my snowmen stamps, however I think these are my least favorite cards of the bunch.

I also had some foam stickers that I wanted to use. I added a strip of patterned paper and a Happy Holidays stamp to the cards with these fun reindeer stickers.

The cards in this last set are my favorites - foam Santa and gift stickers paired with Christmas washi tape.

How are y'all coming with your Christmas cards? Have you finished or are you almost done? (December is just around the corner!)

  3. I especially liked the first cards in this blog. I've been making cards since late August. And I've set the end of November as my stop date. Considering I have cards left over from last year, I think I'll have enough. Then it's on to the December activities.

  4. Good for you!!! Typically I make over 50 cards every Christmas but this year decided on a photo card instead. I need about 20 handmade cards, however, and I'm halfway there. Should finish this week though!

  9. Lovely cards - I really like that last set with the washi tape and stickers.

    Decided this year to go hybrid so will order the cards/envelopes from Persnickety Prints and take some printed and cut by silhouette hybrid bits to add on. Simple and quick...

  10. I make them to sell but for our personal cards I use the photo collage ones so I get them taken care of this week with minimal time investment. Cute cards you are sending :)
