Having fun making holiday cards!

Now that we have enjoyed Thanksgiving with family and friends, it's time to prepare for the winter holidays!! We celebrate Christmas at our house and I love to send out handmade holiday greeting cards. Here are a few I have been working on.

CTMH has a great Christmas card kit this year. The Pear and Partridge card making kit contains almost everything you need to make 15 cards (5 each of three designs).  It includes 15 card bases and envelopes, pattered and solid cardstock, a stamp set, ribbon, red glitter gems, and a full-color instructional brochure. Here is one of the cards I completed from the kit.

And here is a photo of the complete kit.

This second card, is one of my own designs. I used the Christmas Love stamp set. I love the wonderful sentiments and the beautiful fonts.

This last card is less traditional. I used tulip pink and juniper green and the super cute reindeer stamp (sorry - it's retired). For a bit of bling, I added the new silver shimmer trim from CTMH and some bitty sparkle gems.  The "Happy Holidays" stamp is also from the Christmas Love stamp set.

I hope you have loads of fun preparing for the holidays. And don't forget you can shop my Close To My Heart web site for great gifts for the paper crafting friends in your life! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
