Hi, friends! Today I'm sharing the last four 2025 Christmas cards I've made and mailed. I fell back on an old favorite go-to layout and I have to say it was wonderful fun! Easy cards, nothing spectacular, just a little designer paper and simple dies. It was liberating.
Lately I've enjoyed making basic card designs and setting them aside for future use. I like today's design for its versatility -- change the size or orientation, dress it up any which way. For the basic design I used Spellbinders Fluted Classic Rectangles and Taylored Expressions Stitched Rectangle Stacklets.
First we have Spellbinders Conrad Cardinal and Penny Black's Joy Edger. Love me some Conrad! It's a first time use for him. You can't see his eye because it's closed. He's so cute!
Older dies were used for the next card -- Memory Box Bauble Snowflakes and a retired Stampin' Up sentiment die.
Another -- exactly the same as Card #2, but with different designer paper.
Finally, I had a paper-covered card base sitting in my spare parts for maybe 2 years. I pulled it out and added the center parts from the same paper pack. The extra paper changed the look quite a bit. I featured a not-yet-used Cottage Cutz Deer Set and a rather funky branch from Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens, Mini. The sentiment was die cut from one of the commercial cards we received from someone sometime. Just a little bit of recycling.
Well, that was fun! I'm ready to get back to non-Christmas cards now as I stamped a LOT of NBUS and bagged them up individually with potential fixin's for their cards. I always get excited when the Christmas cards are finished!
Sharing here:
NBUS Challenge #81 -- My never before used schtuff today is Conrad Cardinal on the first card and the Cottage Cutz deer on the fourth card.
Take care and enjoy your weekend, however you choose to spend it!
