My Christmas Greetings - No Snail Mail Required!



While touring several homes yesterday in BooMama's Christmas Home Tour, I stumbled upon Faith's blog and she was having a Card Carousel and I thought I would join in! I am always very proud of my cards each year since I make them by hand and do over 100! So, without further ado, here is our holiday wishes to everyone!

Front

Back

I'm a Stampin' Up! (R) Demonstrator and made this card using all their products: Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla Cardstock, Close to Cocoa and Red Riding Hood Red Classic Ink Pads, Deer Friends Hostess stamp set, Heard from the Heart stamp set, Red Riding Hood Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Scallop Punch and 1 3/8 inch Circle Punch, Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Pen, Snail Adhesive, and Sticky Strip.

So, now click on the button at the top of the page to visit Faith's Christmas Card Carousel. Have fun! Oh, and if you didn't get a chance to see my Christmas home tour yesterday, click here.

I loved your Christmas card! It was cute, sweet and very well done!

I could never do 100+ cards...I try to keep my list trimmed to about 30 - but sometimes it goes over!

Courtney said...

I just love your card! I also send out over 100 cards but I know yours had to have been much more time consuming! The font of the Christmas on the back is beautiful! Thanks for sharing

Becky said...

Your card is adorable! WOW! And you made 100 that is terrific! Hope your honey licked those envelopes for you! LOL! YUCKY! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.

Wow, you do over 100? Incredible. I did handmade cards once for my son's bday and spent hours and hours on only 20 so I know the work that goes into it. Wow. They look great. I would love to do a Christmas one sometime.

People always look at me so strange when I say spaghetti gravy - well new people that don't me - everyone has the same reaction you did - brown gravy on spaghetti?? But, my mom makes the best (to me) and she makes enough to freeze. She doesn't have it written down anywhere and no matter how many times she makes it, it tastes the same EVERY time!!
Can't wait to see your answers -

I love your Christmas card. I am so envious of moms like you who are so creative and produce such gorgeous stuff. I don't have a single creative cell in my body. So I'll just vicariously live through all the pretty stuff that women like you put together.

Thanks for sharing your card. It really is beautiful!

I thought I recognized the stamps. My MIL does the stampin' up thing too.

I can't believe you make over 100 cards each year. Can you give me lessons in time management?

Trina said...

SO CUTE! I love the color scheme. Precious little boys too you have there.

Lindsay said...

I am SO impressed that you MAKE those. They are adorable....not to mention time consuming! So cool.
