Christmas Box Cards 1

Good Morning,

I was very disappointed with myself last Christmas because I ran out of time to make everyone handmade Christmas Cards.  I have decided that Christmas 2018 will be different, I am determined to try to make Christmas Cards at least once a week!  


I made two of these cards, notice I got to use my glitzy paper again?


I promised my husband I would use up a lot of my stuff this year so I am making the envelopes out of some of the "lighter weight" Christmas Paper.

I am entering this box card into the following challenges:

Shopping Our Stash - #342 Home Sweet Home
The Holly and Ivy Christmas - Challenge #23 Anything Goes Christmas

Thank you so much for stopping by, I appreciate all of your comments.

Hugs,

  6. So Pretty and Elegant Chriss! I Love the sparkle too! And I'm so happy to hear you're gonna try and make your Christmas cards now instead of later - I tell ya - making 1 card a week has totally helped me keep things in Check and I'm always ready by Dec. 1st. I think it'll be a great challenge for yourself! Have a great weekend! :)

  7. Beautiful job, Chriss! This looks 3-D! I think it's an awesome idea to make your cards all year long! I do the same - if I didn't do that, I'd never be ready! Looking forward to seeing a weekly feature from you!

  8. Beautiful landscape of sweet little houses, love the glittery snow all around.
    Creating Christmas cards all year round is a great idea and it will save you time and trouble when the Holidays roll around.
    I participate in lots of Christmas Challenges and, by November, I have a great stash of pretty cards to send out.
    Thank you for sharing this beautiful and elegant card with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH, hope you play again soon.
    Hugs.
