Merry Christmas Drive with Santa

 Hello Everyone!

I wish everyone a Happy Holiday season and a Merry Christmas!!!

I have a few photos of my Christmas cards to share today. Of course, there is a story.  LOL 

In my exuberance to get my cards out to friends and family, I completely forgot to photograph my cards! My goodness, I don't think I have ever done that before.  Must be old age.  LOL.  

But, thanks to my beautiful, super sweet family, I have photos of the cards.  Sandie, Helen, and Christina took photos of the cards they had received and texted them to me. So, thanks to these lovely ladies I can share the cards with you.

The cards were made using the Spellbinders die cut set, Sunday Drive with Santa.  I die cut the cars in red, white, and green cardstocks. Decorative papers were used for the backgrounds.  The cars were mounted on die cut circles.  

So glad you stopped by today. I hope your holiday season is filled with love and good things.  And some yummy holiday foods too!  See you next time for a Happy New Year card.

Santa with Sleigh Christmas Cards

 Hello Everyone,

Finished making my Christmas cards for this year.  Only made thirteen cards this year.  I am ashamed to say I bought some ready make cards to send this year as well. Just ran out of time. But, I wanted to share the cute Santa card I did make.

I used the same layout for all the cards.  I varied the paper selections.  I added red or sliver glitter glue for a bit of sparkle.

Supplies used:

Stamps: Gifts from Santa - My Favorite Things (retired); Sentiment on inside Stampin' Up

Decorative papers

Die Cuts from My Favorite Things, Spellbinders, Stampin Up

Glitter Glue

Red Ribbon

Inside of all cards.

Will be sending all of the cards out as soon as possible. Not to long before Christmas will be here. Do have all my gift shopping done. Hope your Holidays are super lovely.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Hello!

Merry Christmas!!!

I would like to wish everyone a merry and happy Holiday season!!!  Bring on the happy new year!!

I am back today with the final group of my Holiday cards!

 I used the same main image for all the cards, but used different layouts, accents, and die cuts.  I also used different color palettes.  

Today's cards have tan or cream as the main color.  

Stamp: Don't Stop Believin' (Stampin' Up)

Santas are stamped on white cardstock.  I used Black Memento ink on the two samples.  Coloring was done with copic markers.  I used four markers making 43 cards.  So, a lot of coloring on the Santas. 

 

The card above has a die cut tree, dry embossed star border, velum silver paper, silver and white ribbon.

The embellishments on this card include a metallic striped gold and white paper, gold glitter paper, punched snowflake, and white ribbon bow.

Inside looks like this on all the cards.

Again, I wish everyone a happy holiday season!!  See you next year!!!

Checking That Naughty List!

 Hello!

Have a few of my Christmas cards to share today.  I used the same main image for all the cards, but used different layouts, accents, and die cuts.  I also used different color palettes (mostly because I ran out of red and green cardstock... ). 

Today's cards have navy blue as the main color.  

Stamp: Don't Stop Believin' (Stampin' Up)

Santas are stamped on white cardstock.  I used Black Archival ink on the two samples.  Coloring was done with water base markers.  I used four markers making 43 cards.  So, a lot of coloring on the Santas.  

The card above has die cut and punched snowflakes with a red ribbon bow.

All the insides look like this:

Below is a second layout.  I die cut the landscape background and layered a fussy cut Santa over top. Accents are die cut stars and blue striped ribbon bow.  Also added some glitter paper under the sentiment.

Will be back next time with more of my Christmas cards.  Hope your day is full of crafty hand made fun.
