Please post your Christmas Cards!

[maryinaz]

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.

[pbumbaca]

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!

[maryinaz]

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.

[ColleenSwerb]

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.

[kresta]

Here's mine:



The back has a message about the joy of Christmas, etc. and our family's name.

(Used TLP's Nov. BYOC); printing through Vistaprint.

[mommyof3monkeys.plusone]

Heres mine from last year

[maryinaz]

These are all fantastic! OK, keep it simple - got it!

[mummytothree]

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!!!

[maryinaz]

LOL - I just replied on your thread! I LOVE it!

[audscraps]

these are all great!

i dont even have a photo yet for our card. im super behind on that this year.



im hoping to have them ordered by this weekend, but we're going to a holiday boutique saturday then it's tree "hunting" and decorating on sunday... so hopefully i will have a sane moment to get it done... but, probably not...

This is so stinkin' cute, Kresta!!

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 ).

[HeatherKS]

Here's ours from last year.



This year's hasn't happened yet . . .

[babycake]

Awwww, such beautiful cards!! Here's mine, they were printed in size 3" x 2" so were small enough for Brooke to give to her school buddies!!

[Tracyfish]

We're sending this to our closest friends and family. I'm also making paper cards for everyone.

for this year miss Dani Mogstad took some pictures of the boys... I'm totally tempted to use this picture:

(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! Look how much they've grown!

I just finished mine today! I do a 5x5 trifold card every year (well this is the third year now.. hoping to keep it a tradition) Front of the card is always the photo with santa too


(inside panel, back of card, front of card)

(when you open the card up this is the inside)

if it's anything like last years, I will be torn on whether to keep it out all year or put it away. lol So cute!!

[pbumbaca]

OK, so I'm not sure this is my final or not but here's what I have so far...

[aggiefamily]

Here is 2008 (pending approval from Billy)
The web address on the back is not up yet. Every year I have a slideshow of photos from the year's activities.

front:




back:




Previous year (I had them printed as 8x8 so I could put them in my square frames for the holidays)

2007:



2006:




I can't find 2005 on my computer.

[lovely1m]

Here's mine, I used Dani's new Christmas kit & Natali's Playing with Word Art:

[kscwgirl]

Here is mine.. I used Kristin's Midnight Star.

[maryinaz]

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

[supertwinkle]

Gorgeous and adorable cards ladies!
Here's mine:

I'm ordered the 5x5 folded card from White House Custom Colour.

[Megan Turnidge]

Here's mine! I LOVED Dani's Candy Coated Greetings.... such bright fun colors! I adapted it though to fit a 4x8.





Printing with Vistaprint.... double-sided cards!

[SeattleSheri]

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.

I SERIOULSY think you need to sell this as a template or something, I would LOVE LOVE to do a card like this - it's simply breathtaking!!!!!

[maryinaz]

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!



Thanks everyone for posting your cards - it was HUGE inspiration for me!

[robinforman]

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!

[ColleenSwerb]

Kristin, that's the CUTEST CARD!!! I freaking love it.

Remind me next fall so I can do that too What a great idea! Who do you print with to get that??

[**Holly**]

beautiful cards everyone!!! I so need to do mine!

[alansrock]

Here's mine:


I used A Folk Christmas kit by Julie Bullock at SPD

[Amber1279]

Here are some of my past years:

(2005 - my first digi one ever)


(2006 - template by Traci Reed w/ her Reason for the Season collection)

(2007 - my mom's card .... the C is supposed to be my nephew but there were some technical difficulties)


(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:

[my4boys]

WOW...such inspiration in this thread!! My kids were being a bunch of goofs so I hope out of the 30 + pics I took I have at least 1 that will work...hoping to get it done tonite!!! I am also making cards for my SIL, my Cousin and my Brother so I am a busy bee!!!

[Sari]

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

[Kara]

Wow, all of these are simply AMAZING!!!

[my4boys]

I finally finished mine............

[justmp]

That is so cute Jodi! I'm going to check out mpix, the two image design is very appealing!

[rach3975]

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.
