Handmade Christmas Card Ideas
Hello My Crafty Friends,
I am having so much fun creating Christmas Cards with all of the supplies that I shared with you the other day.
If you have alot of cards to make this year and want to make it look like you spent hours making each card, when it only took a few minutes, then this is the card you need to make.
I just love making 3 dimensional cards. It’s amazing how just one pop dot can change the entire look of a card, and when you use more it makes it even better 🙂 Having 3 dimensional card ideas then actually making your idea into a beautiful Christmas card is such a gratifying feeling
Also, for another kind of look, I stamped and punched 4 ornament images. Then folded 3 of them in half, glued the sides together and then glued them to the image that wasn’t folded and this ornament is now popping off the card!
Come back for a visit soon to see more Christmas Card Ideas, until then…
Make It A Great Day & Don’t Forget to Leave Time To Craft!
It’s Beginning To Look Alot Like Handmade Christmas Cards
Hello My Stamping Friends,
It’s beginning to look alot like Christmas in my craft room. The fun part of this is that I really don’t know what I am going to create. That’s why this is so much fun. I have some Stampin’ Up! products that I will be using to create my cards today.
Come back to visit and see what I created with all these card making supplies.

It’s Time For Our 2011 Handmade Christmas Cards using Joys of the Season Cricut Cartridge
Time has been flying since we moved. Getting adjusted to the new town and even the new time zone for us has been exciting. But with all of the great distractions, it is time to get started and make time for getting creative and to make our handmade Christmas Cards.
This year I need to incorporate our new address along with a Christmas theme. So I decided to make a Christmas ornament using the Joys of the Season Cricut Cartridge, and a We’ve Moved rubber stamp from PSX. (I just wish this stamp had two cats in the window to represent my two boys).
Now deciding what color to make the ornament and back panel. I choose………. Christmas green and red (how appropriate – LOL)
I used the Cricut Expression Machine to cut the ornaments. Then I used a Cutter Bee paper trimmer to cut the red back panel.
Some other supplies that I will use is Copic Sketch markers, Elmer’s permanent dot runner, pop dots, natural polished hemp rope, Memento tuxedo black dye ink, and some sea shells from our beach (if you don’t have a beach near by, then you can always purchase shell online or in a craft store).
I printed our address on blue cardstock and used an oval paper punch from punch bunch to cut them out. The reason why I had to do that was the space that the stamp provided was way to small for our address and if I did write that tiny, no one would have been able to read it. So when I stamped the image on white cardstock I just masked that part of the image so it wouldn’t stamp. Then to add some dimension I used a pop dot to raise the address from the card. The finishing touch was attaching the sea shell with the hemp rope along with our inside message.

Wrapping Presents Can Definately Get You In The Christmas Spirit!
12 Days of Christmas with Joans Craft World
On the tenth day of Christmas…
I hope that you all are having a great day. Today I have to stop crafting with my Cricut Expression and my Rubber Stamps and start a different kind of Christmas Craft. The craft of wrapping Christmas presents. That’s right, I haven’t started wrapping presents and that means that I haven’t shipped our gifts to our family in New Jersey yet either. Doing this at the last minute makes it more fun. HoHoHo!
I have the ABC Family channel on watching “A Dennis the Menace Christmas” while I am surrounded by Christmas wrapping paper and presents. I thought Christmas tree paper would look really cute with the gift tags that I made the other day with the Christmas Cheer Cricut Cartridge and my Cricut Expression machine of different colored Christmas lights.
The small gifts are all wrapped, now it’s time for the “real” presents to be wrapped. Sorry can’t show you what’s inside just in case my family is reading this. As soon as I am done wrapping, we will be off to the Post Office to use Priority Mail shipping and hoping that they get to our family in time for Christmas Day.
Make it a Great Day and don’t forget to leave time to Craft!
