I picked my favourites from blogs, Pinterest, the Close to My Heart Idea Book and a few new creations of my own to bring you the 'best of the best'! Lots of variety and techniques - something for everyone!
I know you will love them as much as I do! A total of 20 different designs to choose from!
Four easy ways for you to send these cards to your friends & family this year:
- join me at my annual Christmas Card Extravaganza workshops to create your own
- host your own Christmas card party with your friends for a creative night out
- purchase pre-cut, pre-stamped kits to make on your own at home
- purchase completed ready-to-mail cards
Here are the close-ups of the cards (all materials used are Close to My Heart (CTMH) and all die-cut shapes are cut with the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge):
