Time for Christmas Cards?

The third week of each month is always one of my favorite. That’s when I use the featured stamp set of the month to create a Christmas card. My son actually asked me this week why I was already creating Christmas cards. Is it time for Christmas cards?

In my world, it’s always time for Christmas cards. Maybe one day, I’ll actually get around to mailing them. 🙂

How about you? When do you start making Christmas cards? Do you get them mailed in November? December? January? Never?

Do you stress about getting your Christmas cards sent? I give you permission to create them whenever you want. It’s never the wrong time of year to make Christmas cards. I want to turn your crafting stress into success.

Can’t think of a design to create? Let me help you out with that. My 12 weeks of Christmas emails start on Tuesday, October 3. Each week for 12 weeks my email list will get an exclusive pdf of a holiday paper project. The pdf will include pictures, measurements, products used, and instructions. Not signed up for my email list. You have time to get on the list before 12 weeks of Christmas emails start going out October 3. Sign up here.

Green Christmas card with angled panel of patterned paper with green and red holly leaves. There is a smaller angled white panel on top of that with stamped small red flowers. A bundle of stamped and diecut white on white and vellum leaves is in the center. On the top of the layers lies a gray sentiment label with a white heat embossed sentiment says, "Merry Christmas."

Card Details

Have several different card making techniques you love? Can’t decide which one to use? Mix it up and use several on the same card.

The Christmas card using the Translucent Floral Bundle uses several fun techniques.

Diecutting
Heat Embossing
Stamping off

First, Diecutting. The bundle of foliage featured on the card are white on white stamped and diecut images along with diecut vellum.

Next, heat embossing is showcased with the sentiment heat embossed in white on the Pebbled Path cardstock label.

Then, the small flowers showcase the stamped off technique. A flower is stamped with full strength ink and then stamped of two more times to create lighter and lighter images. This happens in alternating corners.
