Please post your Christmas Cards!
From the past or present!
I'm trying to do a card from scratch because I'm using Penny's Bent Bunch #03 for my photos. I so SUCK at cards. I am terrible at paper cards and obviously no better at digi cards and this is my first attempt. I'd love to see everyone else's so I can lift one. I'm doing 4x8 and hopefully double-sided. |
I would if I had one! I still need to get my pic taken so I can make one!
I am not sure I even kept any of my previous ones. Bad me! |
I gave up on getting a new photo of the boys - one is sick and I'm just running out of time. So I used recent photos instead.
|
Just keep it simple hon. If you're using a bent bunch, I would just have a BG piece of paper, and then a strip of solid paper to write the greeting on. Throw a few elements on there and you're good to go :)
This is mine from this year. 5x7 greeting card. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...tmasCard-1.jpg |
Here's mine:

Heres mine from last year

These are all fantastic! OK, keep it simple - got it! :)
|
I actaully just posted a thread asking if anyone thought this one looked "OK". I'm thinking of using it for our card this year!!!

Here's our card. I printed them at Winkflash and just grabbed the most recent picture cause I thought the card sale was ending (of course, 3 weeks later they're still on sale ;) ). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...s-card-web.jpg |
Here's ours from last year. :)

I'm totally tempted to use this picture: http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewr...ture_thumb.jpg (theres a smiling one too... but this one makes me laugh!) I'm just waiting on the PERFECT kit... which.... a little bridie told me I'll be able to find one.... ;) ETA... lookie! I found the Pics I took from 2004 too!

OK, my DH says this isn't Christmassy - so I'm going back to fix...I'll post it later.

Gorgeous and adorable cards ladies!
Here's mine: http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...neWord_600.jpg I'm ordered the 5x5 folded card from White House Custom Colour. |
Here's mine! I LOVED Dani's Candy Coated Greetings.... such bright fun colors! I adapted it though to fit a 4x8.
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...scardfront.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...ascardback.jpg Printing with Vistaprint.... double-sided cards! :) |
Wow, such beautiful cards, I wish I could comment on each one of them. I haven't done our card yet. I ordered some studio lights, so as soon as I get them, I will get some pictures of the boys and see what inspires me from there. I do card design and I've designed a few others this season. Here is my card from last year - it was folded with a nice sentiment on the inside.

You all are killing me here! You have such awesome cards! I think I've re-done mine at least 4 times, because all of yours are so great!
So here is what I came up with so far. I have to change out one photo because my son doesn't like it (the one on the right of the title). I swear I opened up so many different papers, etc. I'm not even sure what all I used, but I know I used stuff from Libby's Maui Christmas, Cotton-Headed, and Shimmer Alpha kits. Printing mine at Vistaprints so I can have the front and back. As I wrote our little synopsis of the year I realized, we are SO BORING! http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...istmasCard.jpg Thanks everyone for posting your cards - it was HUGE inspiration for me! |
I used one of Dani's cards- not feeling the creativity lately, but I love the way my photos looked in it so I am posting it anyway! LOL!
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...piritcard3.jpg |
Kristin, that's the CUTEST CARD!!! I freaking love it.
Remind me next fall so I can do that too :p What a great idea! Who do you print with to get that?? |
beautiful cards everyone!!! I so need to do mine!
|
Here's mine:
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...-card_2008.jpg I used A Folk Christmas kit by Julie Bullock at SPD |
Here are some of my past years:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...ssmas-card.jpg (2005 - my first digi one ever) http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...asCard-jpg.jpg (2006 - template by Traci Reed w/ her Reason for the Season collection) http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...-alternate.jpg (2007 - my mom's card .... the C is supposed to be my nephew but there were some technical difficulties) http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/...tmascard12.jpg (2007 - My card - that actually never went out. I ordered late & never got them in the mail. I have a stack of 50. Template by Bree, kit by Dani) And this year's card: https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com...ard-08-web.jpg |

Dani's cards this year were perfect for what I already had in mind for the photos, so here it is:

Great inspiration here--thanks! I was waiting as long as possible to make this year's cards just in case the baby arrived in time to be on it. I've finally given up on that, so I took pictures this weekend and I'm going to start ours tonight. Here's the one we used last year.
