Have you started your holiday cards yet? Don’t judge me, but this may be my first Christmas card for this year…. are you one of those who can make Holiday cards all year round? I do admire you so, for me it’s always the big ‘rush’ to get things done lol.
I’ve made 2 cards using some gorgeous new products from Reverse Confetti. My first card today is very clean and simple. I used the Peace Tree Stamp Set in some pastel colours.
The sentiments are from the Joyful Holiday Wishes Stamp Set and I thought they fit the layers perfectly.
My second design is a ‘fall’ card but in another unusal colour combo… This time I created a frame of leaves using the In All Things Stamp Set.
And I added the cutest hedgehog and sentiment from the Pick of the Patch.
Soooo let me know, are you a ‘last minute’ Holiday card person? Cause you know that this year it’s going to get messy for us with the postal delays… not that I want to freak you out or anything lol.

Love that CAS pastel tree and how you coloured the leaves with Copics. Radical! Got to try that.
Thanks so much Christine… for some reason I wanted ‘purple’ leaves lol.
Love the Pick of the Patch Card, so cute, yes it will be Christmas before we know it💞😻🐾
and I am soooo not ready lol.
Fabulous cards Therese love the simple Christmas one and those leaves are perfect, purple why not
I totally hear you…. Why not lol.
Hi, Therese! You had me at purple! 💜💜💜
I kniow right! It’s one of my fave colours but I don’t use it as much as I’d like on my cards… not sure why though?
Really lovely cards. I don’t think I’ll even make any Christmas cards this year … I’ve been away from home for over 6 months and have no idea when i’ll be able to get back and don’t want to duplicate any of my supplies!
That’s a long time to be away from home… sending big hugs your way x
Love the pastel tree. CAS is always my favourite style. Having said that, the leaf frame with the cute little hedgehog (who can resist a hedgehog?) is quite lovely. Beautiful leaves.
Yes, I am a big fan of CAS too, especially with Christmas cards!
What pretty cards very different. The first is modern, clean and simple. The second is cute, love the hedgehog! I try to get my Christmas cards done before November but knowing my hub he’ll ask for a card the day before Christmas Day when they’ve all gone!
I know exactly what you mean, it’s like they think we have a little stash of cards ready made for them… for my hubby it’s ‘gift tags’ to add to his staff’s Christmas presents lol.
You could used this first Peace Tree design a hundred times, Therese – we’d all love one, and you’d have those Christmas cards done before you know it!
Who wouldn’t FALL in love with a hedgehog in an autumn wreath? and I love this color combo!
=]
It’s such a sweet tree and it has so many possiblitlites…
These are absolutely STUNNING.
Thanks so much Amyx
Lovely cards! You always have the awesome-est designs, whether clean and simple or more elaborate. I do so enjoy your style and your artistry.
Thanks so very much Sue, I know I share lots of different styles, it’s because I want to try it all lol.
Aways like simple cards!
I find my ‘go to’ style would have to be CAS but I do enjoy pushing the boundaries too, I like to try new stuff but if I am struggling then it’s back to CAS for me lol!
Thanks for the reminder!!!! Guess I better get started!!!
Well…. I have a total of 1 made lol.
I’m trying really hard not to be a last minute person this year … your yearly Same but Different series helps me to keep making Christmas cards.
So happy to hear that you like the series, I’m just about to start it again this year so can’t wait to hear your thoughts on that too!
I’ve started my holiday cards. I always try to go over the top, because they are my favorite cards to make. Thank you for showing that simple can still be elegant. I will definitely give this a try.
They are definitely one of the ‘funnest’ kind of cards to make, now I just need to get more than 1 made lol.
Thank you for the inspiration. I make a load of Christmas cards.
Last year just over 200. I’m expecting to make more this year. Loved the simplicity of your design and the subtle colours.
Your autumn card was so pretty.
Cheers
Lisa
WOW! I get excited if I get to 50 lol. But it sounds like you have fun making them,… does that mean you have quite a few Christmas stamps or do you change them up to look different or do you make multiples?
Absolutely no judgement…. I’m lucky if I even get one made, lol. These are wonderful Therese. I love those dark blue gems, too. LOVE, L.O.V.E. LOVE how you colored the autumn leaves.
Yes it was weird but for some reason I couldn’t get purple leaves out of my head lol.
So … I’m doing well with three Christmas cards made already then, Therese!! What a delicious design … cool and graphic with a lovely touch of softness in the pastel colours … great for multiples! Your leafy frame is fabulous with the purply (is that a word?) leaves … so cute with that adorable little hedgie! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Oh 3, you are sooo way ahead of me then lol. I really must publicise the ‘Therese’ dictionary, because you will find ‘purply’ in there haha Hope you are having the most fabulous week my friend x
Two beautiful cards, Therese! I love the pastels on your Christmas tree! This would be a great card to mass produce 🙂 I also love how you added the hedgehog to your design on your 2nd card! I’m inspired…Thank you!
I think a hedgehog can pretty much fit anywhere, they always look so very cute!
Two fabulous cards. Love the pastel trees and yes the hedgehog is very cute. I have started my Christmas cards hey why not! And yes postage delays are driving me slightly silly. I have to stop myself tracking my parcels! 🙂
Yes, I can only imagine that postage will be even slower over chirstmas with parcel delivery and cards etc I will have to be ‘very’ organised or ‘patient’ this year lol.
Gorgeous Christmas card! I love the soft colours. The Fall card is adorable and I love the purple too! I’v lost count of the number of Chrissie cards I’ve made! Seriously:) I think it might be my reaction to Covid! I just have to remember to send them now😉
Sounds like you have been making the most out of this my friend! I’ve still had full time work in this pandemic so I haven’t had any extra time at home, (other than my recent holidays) but I’m not complaining I feel lucky that I have work to go to. So many aren’t so lucky. ps I hope you remember to post them lol.
