Tutorial Tuesday: Holiday Cards plus Giveaway!
Tue, Nov 4, 2008
The holidays will be here before we know it, and if you’re like me, you might just wait until the last minute to make those holiday and Christmas cards. Here’s a few ideas I whipped up that look great, but take a minimal amount of supplies and time to create! For all the embossing I used my Cuttlebug. If you don’t have an embosser, try paper that is already embossed, or just a nice pattern will work great also. The sentiment on all say: may every day of this new year bring you a reason to celebrate. I just printed these directly onto the cardstock with my printer. That way, you can create any sentiment you want, and aren’t just limited to what stamps you have on hand already.
Giveaway! It’s been a while since I’ve done one…so here’s the giveaway. Leave me a post and just say hi. Let me know know what you would like to see more of. (Examples include, paper crafting projects, sewing, home decor, gift ideas, or anything else that fancies you) I’ll use the Random Generator to pick from among the comments. Leave a comment by Friday, November 7th. I’ll pick a winner on Saturday. Here’s what you win:
I’ll emboss your choice of colored paper with any of the embossing folders I have and send those to you. This is great if you don’t have a Cuttlebug and want some fun papers! I’ll emboss enough 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ sheets for you to do 25 Holiday cards. I’ll use any of the embossing folders I have and send those out to you. So, just leave me a comment, let me know what you’d like to see more of, and I’ll pick a winner that will get their choice of paper color and embossing! I’ll get the paper, emboss, and ship to the winner! How easy is that?!?
Happy Crafting! I’ll have some more sewing patterns again soon. I’m working out the final touches now! Don’t forget to leave a comment to enter the giveaway! See you soon!

Hi Erin….what great simple cards these are..I think the simple ones are the most striking as compared to ones with alot of bling on it or layers and layers…but, I do papercrafting and have a Cricut.
But small sewing projects would be great also. Thanks for your ideas.

I love all sorts of projects, but especially holiday home decor. I had so much fun with Halloween stuff and can’t wait to get started with Christmas.
If I win I might finally make my own Christmas Cards :)
