Christmas cards galore!

 Hello again,

I am back to share some of the Christmas cards I've been making the past few weeks.  If you missed my previous post, you'll want to take a look at those as well.

One of my favorites, the card in a box, although it is quite time consuming!

Love this pop-up type diorama card. So easy to make and yet impressive.

This was my first time trying this "flat pop-up card" and I liked the results because it worked so well with the paper pad I bought from Echo Park.

Hope you saw something to inspire you today.  Thanks for stopping by!

Countdown to Christmas

 Hello friends!  I have recently returned to cardmaking full-force after having my kids start school full-time this fall and having all my kids in school for the first time ever.  

Do you struggle with cardmaking ADHD like I do?  I have so many fun ideas going on in my head at one time it's hard to settle on one at a time.  Although Pinterest is wonderful for inspiration, it can also add to the overwhelm 250%!    

This year I have decided to make all my Christmas cards.  In the past, I've waited until too late in the year and got maybe 20 cards ready in time, but had to purchase the rest, and then I have to decide who is special enough to get a handmade card rather than a store-bought one.  

So, I started back in September and I'm happy to have over 30 cards done so far.  I could have more if I duplicated them but I really like the creativity of making each card different and unique.  I have also tried some new-to-me fun folds this year in the hopes of using some of my older stamps and dies in a different and creative way.  

Without further ado, here are a few my favorites.  I'll share the rest of them in future posts.
