This card was challenging because the sleigh die I used was hard to find something that went well with it and didn't clash or not make sense in the background. I bought the die last year but this was the first time that I had even used it!
Supplies:
Cheery Lynn Christmas Sleigh b140
Reminisce "out of this world" space buddies 12x12 paper
Memory Box Country Landscape
I LOVE this paper and this die. The turquoise color for Christmas is amazing and this tree is so beautiful. There are four components to this card: Memory Box Magnificent Pine die cut out of pine green cs, MME Mistletoe Magic "mistletoe" paper, EK Success "jewel" edge punch on white cs, and your choice of liquid pearls and stickles (I used white opal, platinum, and xmas red)
This project is one that I worked on for the store for the Christmas Extravaganza, the idea was from Leann. I used Memory Box's new Matchbox die which cuts out two pieces: the box form that you fold for the structure and the decorative outer part that you fild around the box. It was a little hard to figure out at first but once you realize how to put it together its easy. The flower is cut out from a Cheery Lynn Poinsettia die. White grossgrain ribbon was added around the box. The paper I don't remember what it is, but there's a lot of it at the store yet (sorry I didn't save the strip at the bottom for this ), however the second picture is of both sides if that paper if you're interested.
This is an extraordinarily easy card to make. I made six from one sheet of 12x12 imaginisce 400041. Its not as cost effective as the glittery snowmen cards from a few posts ago, but it does make for a very pretty card. I also used ice silver metallic cardstock and textweight for the card base and the bird. The die for the bird is Cheery Lynn "birds of heaven and earth". The tree I cut out of green mirracard using Memory Box "flowering Christmas tree".
This is a super simple card to make. All I used was the Martha Stewart Branch punch (you could also use Cheery Lynns die that has multiple branches) and some pine green paper, memory box's sitring bird die, and some red stickles. Assemble!
This is a super easy card to make. I used my Spellbinders Nested Pine Trees to make this. I just cut it out of the center of green cardstock, stuck it on red cardstock, and stuck that on a white base. The stamp is an old Amuse stamp that's no longer produced but I believe Memory Box makes similiar stamps.
This is a thank you card I sent to my new aunt and uncle thanking them for our wedding gift. It's one of a few that I made similiar. I used Pebbles Family Ties line "Mother" for the yellow and the butterfly paper is BoBunny Country Garden "Country Garden Glimpse", White Opal Liquid Pearls, Spellbinders Large Standard Circles, and Just Rite "Just a Note" 1-5/8 borders and centers stamp set.
So yesterday I decided to buy this adorable glitter snowman paper because it was the last sheet and I figured it'd make for some easy cards. Boy was I right!! I got 6 cards out of this and they only ended up costing 38 cents per card. And two simple steps to make. I think this will be the way to go for future mass quantity Christmas card making. :)

Thanks for sticking with me through so much Christmas cardmaking!! Its my favorite type of card to make. I have lots of ideas for fall brewing in my head though, so as soon as I get to making them I'll be sure to post them. Plus, next to Christmas, Halloween is my favorite theme for cardmaking!!
Thanks again for stopping by.
Have a fantastic day!
New product! Just in today Cheery Lynn French Pastry Die. Also new, Scrapbook Customs Vineyard Picture paper available in the "Wine" section of the store. (Wine not included).
I cut my diecut out of white linen paper so it mimics a real doiley and cuts out really easily.
Have a great Saturday!! :)
Here is one of the few Christmas cards that I made for our Extravaganza at the store that I CAN share with you today. I forgot that the tree die that I used was discontinued because Spellbinders comes out with a new Special Edition Christmas Tree die for each year.
