Christmas Card


It's a lovely 88 degrees here today and despite that I have a Christmas card to share.  I used an image from Bugaboo Stamps for this card.  I kept the design simple and free of bulky embellishments so that it will be easier to mail.  
This is my DT card for The Merry Christmas challenge.  The theme is always Anything Christmas goes.

Christmas Card


Slowly but surely I will have my Christmas cards ready for mailing by the beginning of December this year.  Have you started?  I used to make my Christmas cards around Thanksgiving time.  Since I needed to make a ton in a short amount of time, I usually just picked 1 or 2 designs and made them all the same. To be honest, it was always very stressful and not much fun.  Several years ago I started making my Christmas cards a few each month.  Christmas cards are my favorite kind of cards to make and I have found the joy in making them again.
If you would like to take a little bit of the holiday stress away, why not join us each week in The Merry Christmas Challenge.  This is my DT card for this challenge.  I kept it simple and easy to mail.

Christmas Card


It's time for a new challenge at The Merry Christmas Challenge.  The theme is always Anything Christmas goes.  Participating in the challenge is a great way to get your holiday cards done in time to be mailed and without the last minute stress.
My card is simple. I used Winter Fairy from Mo's Digital Pencil and let the image and the pretty pattern paper be the focus.  Nothing else was needed but I did add the snowflake die

Christmas Card


It's time for a new challenge at The Merry Christmas Challenge.  The theme is always anything Christmas goes.
I used this adorable image from Mo's Digital Pencil for my DT card.
I kept the design simple and free of embellishments so that it is easy to mail. And I got to use up some scrap paper so that's an added bonus.

Ornament Christmas Card


It's been a long time since I made a card using the Wild Card Cricut cartridge.  I think the card took me 15 minutes from start to ready to photograph.  It was a nice break from my more detailed stamped and colored cards.
This is my DT project for The Merry Christmas Challenge.  The theme is always Anything Goes with an optional theme if you choose to follow it.  The optional theme this time is ornaments so I used the ornament shaped card from Wild Card Cricut cartridge.
Can't wait to see what you make.

Tag holders: Tags Bags Boxes And More Cricut cartridge cut at 7.25 inches
