It's getting to be crunch time for getting Christmas cards ready and out in the mail! I intended on using these stamps to make up some super simple cards and that is just what I did!

2025 Christmas Card Count: 54 + 7 = 61

 I wanted to create some wedding cards to take up to Fullfill and decided on some products from The Greetery.

 I am LOVING the Branching Flowers embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp and made up a simple card featuring the beautiful hues of Peacock from Lawn Fawn and Green Tea from Taylored Expressions.

 I needed to mass produce some thank you cards for this last week of school and the Petal Pusher die from The Greetery arrived just in time! I kept my cards CAS and love how it highlights the beauty of this die! 

 I am loving playing around with these mica sprays! I made a tag the other day and loved it so much I wanted to make some cards.

 These cards contain some of my absolute favourites from The Greetery. I seem to gravitate toward these elements at Christmastime and have made similar designs a couple of times (2019, 2021).

 As I was thinking of my colour combinations for the Create-in-Quads Mistletoe set from Taylored Expressions, I knew that I wanted to incorporate navy this year.

 During the lastest release from The Greetery, I was inspired by a card that had the Pine & Berry Background stamped in black ink onto dark grey cardstock. I decided to give it a try!

 Ok, I know there isn't really blue mistletoe in real life, but I just couldn't resist trying out the Create-in-Quads Mistletoe set with Uncharted Mariner distress oxide ink! And I think I LOVE the results!

 I couldn't wait to play with the Lovely Silhouettes set from The Greetery and decided to make my first card using a distress oxide blend.

 I came across the most gorgeous colour palette on The Greetery tulips created by designer, Dana Kirby. I noticed that the inks used happened to be from Pigment Craft Co. so I decided to give it a try!

 The Create-in-Quads Mistletoe stencil set from Taylored Expressions is helping me continue to produce some Christmas cards for my stash!

 I busted out my Create-in-Quads Mistletoe stencil again from Taylored Expressions and used it to make some plantable Christmas cards. Because I like to keep my plantable cards to one single layer, I only used half the stencil this time. Again, I chose to use some beautiful greens from Pigment Craft Co. and then chose Festive Berries + Aged Mahogany distress oxide inks for the berries. 

 It's such a debate for me on whether I should create numerous Christmas card designs or just stick to one and mass produce. Receiving some Christmas orders a couple of months ago, I decided to get this amazing Create-in-Quads set from Taylored Expressions to speed up my crafting - and I was not disappointed! 

 We have a few little friends headed to kindergarten this fall, so I set out to make them a card to go along with a book about going to school. Our local bookstore, Huckleberry Books, had a fantastic selection of books for back to school. 

I couldn't decide whether I wanted this design to be on cardstock or plantable paper so I decided to make up both! I wanted to replenish my stash of sympathy cards and wanted a design that could be used for all seasons.

 Here are the Christmas cards I made for our family and friends this year. I was inspired this summer by Heather Nichols and her use of Taylored Expressions Toffee cardstock along with a strip of red Cherry Pop cardstock along the bottom. I used my sewing machine to stitch the panels together and stencilled on some Frosty Flakes using Ground Espresso ink and a stencil from The Greetery. My Mom took a festive photo of us on our porch when our son, Alex, arrived and it was the perfect touch to our cards this year. 

I needed some retirement cards and had an idea in mind revamping a card design I used a couple years ago. I love this sweet little muskoka chair die from Taylored Expressions. This time, I decided to do the ink blending with my new Masking Stencils - Rectangles from Taylored Expressions. I used the smaller of the rectangle outlines and held it in place with the handy Pixie Spray. 

My package from Taylored Expressions arrived just in time the other day to make up some Father's Day cards. I just love all of the names that come in this Building Blocks - Him stamp and die set and think it will be great not only for this occasion, but for birthdays, too! The plaid stencils will be awesome for masculine cards - something I often struggle with! I was inspired by Taylor Van Bruggen's use of these products and set to work with some Chipped Sapphire + Pine Needles distress oxide inks and some Toffee, Earl Grey, and Blue Corn cardstock.

I almost forgot to post my last Christmas card that I made this year! I got these beautiful sprigs from The Greetery and couldn't wait to see them arranged in the mason jar I already had. I created a green Christmas hue behind the arrangement with some pine needles distress oxide ink and layered it all onto a Nordic die with a navy card base.
