When do you start making your Holiday cards? I’m getting in early this year thanks to…
Alex Syberia Designs, thank you so very much! I feel very lucky to be asked to Guest Design and what’s not to inspire, this release is glorious! If you are hopping along, you should have arrived here from SYLVIE’S amazing blog her colouring is phenomenal!
I have 2 cards to share with you today starting with some Critter fun with these Falala Friends. This card makes me want to just sing 😉!
These sweet critters were such fun to colour with my Copics.
But, I did jazz it up a little by creating asome glittery Falling Snow in the background with their sweet new stencil.
My next design is a simple pastel coloured Christmas wreath which I made using the Winter Foliage Die Set.
Next I added some Pretty Bows which layered up so sweetly.
And I was initially going to add this Christmas Sentiment at the base of the card, but decided to add it to the centre of the design. I’d love to know if you think it would have looked better at the base instead?

I love the sentiment just where you placed it. It’s a beautiful card. Where did the little bird come from?
the little birdie is on the same set as the critters https://alexsyberiadesigns.com/products/falala-friends-stamp-set
Hi,
The little bird is from the set. It’s above the sled – or at least that is where it appears to be on the linked set images.
Hi Dee, the bird is from the Falala critter set… it’s one of those small stamps that could easily be missed, luckily it has a coordinating die, I could never fussy cut that lol.
Adorable carol singing animals and a lovely wreath.

Thank you Sue
Hello Therese, how beautiful the two proposals, my favorite is the first, because those three characters seem adorable to me! in the second card I agree with you in the position of the sentiment in the center, it looks beautiful. thanks for adding the Copic color references. Kisses
Thanks so much Loreto, I am delighted that you enjoyed these card designs!
Your critters are so much fun, Therese. That pastel wreath is gorgeous and I do like the sentiment across it. I’m more than half way done with my Christmas cards.
These are both so wonderful. I LOVE the wreath, with the soft colors. It is amazing. And the critters singing–so cute. Great job.
Thank you Sharon
Oh Therese, you make the cutest cards. The animals singing, and the wreath with the pink, just stunning.
Thank you Michelle!
Two fabulous cards,the first with those beautifully coloured critters so much fun.The wreath is pure joy.I’m a last minute Christmas card maker the thought of making Christmas cards in the summer especially today when its 39 degrees is a no no
hahaha for us Summer is exactly where Christmas should be lol. When I lived in the UK, it was seriously weird to have cold weather over Christmas, I was used to hanging out by the pool swimming all day.
Both cards are so much fun! Those Falala critters are just darling, as usual with the Alex Syberia designs!
I agree, the ASD critters are the best!
Therese, I can see one of your fabulous Christmas videos in the making using these darling products! Just as cute as any critter card could be – and another lovely pastel creation!
=]
You must have read my mind (wink)!
Love the soft colors in your wreath design!!!!
Thank you so much, I’ve been in a pastel mood lately lol.
Two fantastic cards! Beautiful coloring on the critter card and I love the layers on the wreath
Thank you Lauryne, you are the sweetest!
Delightful, whimsical, FESTIVE carolers you colored up Therese!!! I love your card! Fab wreath card too! More to love!
Thank you Pam, those carolers are the cutest, I agree!
These are both as cute as they can be, Therese! Your sweet wreath and that tiny bird have stolen my heart today!
I know right, that bird makes me happy… actually the whole release does lol!
Adorable! Love those little creatures.
Thank you so very much!
Both are so beautiful and I adore the refreshing color combos!
Thank you my friend x
Both cards are great, and the little caroling falala group makes me smile.
Aren’t they the cutest!
Both cards are really cute. My favorite is the pastel wreath with the little bird, I think the sentiment is placed just right. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Pat
Dear Therese – These are all GORGEOUS. I love all of them. The sweet critters have me reconsidering my purchase options. That foliage was already in the cart. I like where you put the sentiment straight across. I ADORE the amount of white space you afford our eyes, as I think sometimes xmas cards are “too, too” of everything.

So glad you like these cards, this release really makes my heart happy!
I am in love with these little critters. Your soft colors are so sweet. Must say I am obsessed with that sweet bow! Don’t know why it stands out, but I just have to have it!
I agree, it looks great either on it’s own or layered!
Great ideas! That pastel wreath would be great on a baby card too, yet I’ve never thought to include a wreath on a baby card! Great inspiration today…..thanks!
What a great idea!!
Beautiful wreath and fun critters!
Thank you Christine x
Your winter foliage card really speaks to me – I love the soft colors you used that still convey winter. Clever design!
Thank you so much!
The FALALA Friends are my favorite! I LOVE your card with them! Both cards are awesome!
Aren’t they FUN! Thank you Meghan!

The carolling critters are adorable and that wreath looks perfect with the sentiment right where it is! Love the font. So, both are my favourite card! 😉
hahaha thank you Tammy, I’m so happy you like them both!
Cute cards. Love the critters and the wreath especially with the little bird. It’s so cute.
Christmas animals are always cute but the delicate colours of the wreath is my fav.
I think that’s my fave too… but those critters were such fun to colour!
Such cute, whimsical cards.
Thanks so much Karen!
I am enjoying seeing early holiday cards for inspiration. I like the wreath card in these untraditional colors.
Thanks so much Carol, it’s never too early to start Christmas cards… I know some who make them all year round, now that is staunch!
very happy cards
Thank you Martha!
I love the wreath! The soft color combo is divine and the sentiment is perfect in the middle! Looks like part of the wreath’s decor!
Awesome, glad you like the sentiment in the middle too!
Love these designs. So far out of my comfort zone for Christmas as I’m a traditional red, green, white, gold and silver person. I’m going to case the wreath for some of my cards this year.
eek, yes I definitely like to push boundaries around the traditional Christmas colours, but they also make me happy lol.
I love the sentiment in the middle of the wreath and the little bird is just perfect!
Yay! Glad I chose well lol.
I love the wreath. I’ve been looking for a die set exactly like that. And your color choices for it are so unique!
Is agree, it’s a fabulous set and that bow is the perfect topper!
The Christmas is so beautiful and I love the colors that you chose. The Falala card is darling.
Thank you Gail
I am not sure if my email went through, as I do not see my post, so I am redoing my message. I love the Christmas Wreath, it is just so beautiful. The colors you used makes it useable all year around. The falala card is adorable.

Such amazing cards!
Thank you so much Darcy!
I love all of your cards and your CAS concepts. Beautifully done!
Yay! Thank you Denise!
Two very pretty cards, the wreath is pretty, right choice of sentiment location. The critters are a favourite, I see them going with the cute Xmas critters from previous release really well.
It’s such a fun release, I’m so happy you liked these cards!
These are so lovely!!! I absolutely love your cardmaking style!
Thank you Alexandra!
I’ll have to say that your use of the dies from the ASD Jingle Bell Joy set is by far my favorite on this blog hop. What a great card design that is clean, simple and mailable. Very creative use, inspirational and beautiful, thank you! You’ve given me some great starting points for some of the products in the ASD Christmas in July release
Hi Liana, this release is divine and so easy to create with. I know you will have as much fun as I playing with it! Hugs Therese
Great cards! Love their new release!
Isn’t it a fabulous release!
Beautiful wreath. Love the color choices.
Thank you Sherri!
Great projects. I like the combination for the animal scene.
Thank you so much Ms. Tamp!
Oh Therese
Love how you explore both the colours and design of Christmas cards.
All the cards are beautiful. Adore Alexsyberiadesign so much.

Lisa

Such cute critters in these cards Therese – love the delicate use of pastels throughout.
Thank you Karen!
I loved the wreath. It is very pleasing and relaxing to the eye. Hope you knowwhat I mean. I just feel contented and happy when I look at this design.
So happy you like this, these colours together also make me happy too
