After wiping the dust off my Silhouette, and a simple design, I'm all done!
I was going to make them all reversed out of white, but then decided to make use of the word I was peeling out instead of throwing it away - no point having all those 'jingles' go to waste.
What do you do for Christmas cards? Do you buy them or make them?

Carefull use of resourses, no waste - good idea! I think I still love the most the version in left. I wish I would have a machine like that too. That would make my card crafting a whole lot easier.
ReplyDeleteThe last 4 years I've done mine on Hallmark.com a picture one...they address them and stamp and mail...all I did was load my contacts once, update as needed and pick a new design and picture each year. I always find a 30% off coupon code and it's done. I did it when we lived in Germany so I wouldn't have to pay foreign price and used my sisters return address. Love your cards! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHello Lisa....I've done both over the years, but the one thing I've done every year is to take a nice photo of the girls and include it in the card. There are still a few friends and family that don't read my blog or do facebook, so I'll keep doing it!
ReplyDeleteThose are great!
ReplyDeleteWe usually do a family photo card. A lot of family lives far away so they enjoy seeing how much everyone has grown. (hopefully just the kids!)
I do find less & less people are sending out cards though which is kind of sad - I always enjoy getting them.
I love these! You're so flipping creative! I try to make my own cards, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. I'm aiming to do them this year...I better get on it. Thanks for the reminder ;)
ReplyDeleteusually buy them ....but this year inspired by you, will have a go at making some :-)
ReplyDeleteLive in the highlands of Scotland and we took some great photo's this year a great one of a stag that I think will make a great card. Really love your jingle idea.

Oh no Lisa, you can't let your jingles go to waste! What a cool idea, and a fab machine! I would like to make my own cards this year too, but it depends what time I have. You are right to start early, as time just speeds up from now on.
ReplyDeleteI am making decorations for the tree and they are keeping me busy. Much love to you, Linda x
You are so creative once again! What a great idea. Every year I do a photo card with the dogs, but this is not an easy task getting two of them to sit still at the same time!
