Poll: What set(s) are you using for your Christmas cards?

[jdarnall2001]

I will be starting my Christmas cards tomorrow and I haven't decided what I going to do yet! :shock: So tell me, what set or sets will you be using this year?

[KGidget]

A big variety of them because I get bored making the same card over and over. Let's see...Sleigh Ride, Painted Poinsettias, Happiest of Holidays and the accompanying wheel, Tags and More, Yuletide Montage, Lace Snowflakes... Whew, okay, I'm tired just rereading that list. Guess I better get busy and finish up the stack before the postal service decides it needs to go on strike also.

Any set I have that I can make a Christmas card out of! I hate making a bunch of one card so I just go with whatever I have. The majority are probably with little layers and stippled stencils so far. I haven't ever bought a "Christmas" set. Well, I did buy two of the sale ones last year...now I don't want to use them!

[Catie]

Something that has a ship or a lighthouse.... :?

I'm using Hope Is. I have a few Christmas sets but I don't want to use them this year :lol:

[camsmom]

anything-I make a few each night (tonight I made 9) and tehn pick a new design the next night. So far:
Angelic
Fun with Shapes
Loads of Love (those will be camden's cards)
Simply Circles
Yulebits & Borders
Cute as a Bug
Vine & Berry
Happiest of Holidays with wheels

[munhaven]

Shapes and Shadows. I'm actually going to make the card in the catalog.

[WaterPixie]

I got Sunny Seasons Greetings for mine this year. Since we're going to be in Hawaii for a couple of weeks and live in So. California, I thought it was too cute and perfect!

Love that Santa!

[StampinHappyInCT]

I'm making a waterfall card using Happiest of Holidays together with the Swirling Stars jumbo wheel.

[GavynnsMom]

I'm also using a variety because I get bored with just one. So far I have used holiday tag team to make several different cards. I'm also going to use shapes and shadows and whatever else comes to mind when I'm stamping!

[Srastamp]

I do just one to save time and make my life simpler. Gift of Love with the shepard and sheep. I love the saying. I am using vanilla and forest foliage paper. I am collaging the back ground.

I think I will go ahead and make a variety of thank you notes using various sets.

[Motherof6]

I'm also using The Gift of Love. I have to make just one style or I would go nuts trying to decide who gets which one. Here is the one I made and am sending this year.

Christmas cards? Sheesh - it isn't even Thanksgiving yet! LOL! :lol:

I got Yule Bits and Borders for my cards this year. However, I am not happy with anything I've done with it yet. I had a Stamp A Stack the other night and the cards I made were pretty darn cute. Of course, they were all CASE'd right off this site!

Maybe I'll just do those cards...

[LadyandtheStamp]

I also do the same design - basically...LOL. There are slight differences in my cards because I ran out of green hemp and substituted gold cord. I am using the Holiday Hedgehogs set because I bought it last year on sale and couldn't justify buying a new Christmas set (even though I really , really wanted to!! ) I'd love a variety but I figure I'd be the one to forget who I sent what to and they'd get the same card two years in a row!

[addicted2stamps]

I'm using Sketch it! And I am actually doing all of the same card. Here's a link to my card

[StarLitStudio]

In a Pear Tree

I just got permission from the photographer to show the whole card with the pic of my kids - she did a great job. Hope to upload tomorrow.

[Ronda Nix]

It's Snow Time, from the mini, if I ever get around to it! I've used that set a few times at demos and people really like it and I love snowmen, so it's perfect. I like it stamped on brocade blue with the white craft pad.

[grace]

I like to make a variety too...but I'm also going to make a OSW for some and see what I can get up to.

[jdsgrl97]

I don't have many sets, so I will be using Loads of Love and Little Hellos... And I am SURE I'll be CASEing all over the place!

[sassybee]

I was originally planning on using A Sparkling Season, but have been making cards with the leftovers from my stamp camps. So here is what I have been using so far:

Crazy For Christmas (the trees and then the ornaments)
Little Hellos (Santa)
Snowflakes
Nice & Narrow
Tags & More (Snowman)
Cowboy Christmas (retired)
Fresh Flowers(I CASEd the reindeer card)


Brenda

[Maggiemoo]

I try to make different designs, so not all my friends get the same cards (at least that's my plan). I have the following card combinations:

- Shapes & Shadow & Wonderful Words ("Celebrate")
- Spruced up & Season's Greetings
- Christmas Globes (see gallery)

That'll definitely keep me busy until Christmas

..uhhh..and let's not forget Sparkling Season...in combination with glitter....*sigh*....

[Katie Lilly]

I am using Spirit of Love and Miracle of the Child from last year. I am also using Yule Bits and Borders, Crazy for Christmas, Holiday Sampler, Holiday Wishes, A Beautiful Season, Kids Cards, the jumbo swirls and poinsetta wheels, Border Builders and Loads of Love. I think I went kind of crazy this year on Christmas. The funny thing is, I have never even sent out Christmas cards before! But I am so excited to make them and send them out this year! I better stop visiting this site though so I have time to make all of these wonderful cards! :lol:

[grace]

Yes, me too. I haven't made anything in two days...just enjoyed reading and responding...we really have a global stamping world.

[Cassandranet]

I'm using Season of Peace and I'll probably make a few with the Little Hellos set I just got and maybe Thanks Snow Much.

I'm only making a few cards and everyone else is getting leftover ones from previous years (store bought). Maybe I can finally get rid of them all this year!

[maslex]

I also made a few different designs. I've used Sketch It, Season's Sketches, Season's Greetings, Holiday Woodcuts, Jumbo Poinsettia Wheel and I believe Shapes & Shadows. I think there is atleast one more set that I used but at 2:30 in the morning, I can't think straight just yet. My cards are all done, put in envelopes and addressed. I'm just waiting to get my boys pictures back so I can put them in the envies and send them out. Happy Holidays!!!

Pam

[jennkb]

I using Happiest of Holidays with the jumbo Poinsettia wheel and music background stamp. I will probably stick with one design this year to keep it simple. This will be my first year making cards!

I'll try to add a link to my card.

Lovely as a Tree and Botanicals. I have a few Christmas sets but love the look of the Pine Tree embossed in gold. I will do a few Frosty's for my friends with children.

[Kar]

I am using, Flaky Friends, Yuletide Montage and A Beautiful Season (because got it on sale earlier this year!). I just had to buy a couple more Christmas sets because only had Flaky Friends for a current set anyway, now hoping that Yuletide Montage makes the big catty next year

[Stampinonthefarm]

Hi -

I'm using Solemn Stillness. My husband bought me the set for my birthday. I can see so many different ways of using this set that I don't think I'll be doing a lot of different ones.

I did use a retired set, Gift of Heaven to stamp on tiles for my Sunday School teachers.

Have fun.

Cheryl

[MommmyOfTwins]

Mine are pretty much done. I used Yuletide Montage.

[kastampin]

I used Loads of Love! You may all hate me for this but mine are done and going in the mail TODAY! This way they get them the day after Thanksgiving! Except for the one going to Australia! I don't know how long that takes I heard 10 days.

[bambi64]

I using Sweet Season for my xmas swap on another board. And for those in my church, I am using a Northwood stamp (glitter, watercolor).

Here is my one card. Am using green, red, hunter green and the burgandy paper, and making the thread to match so each one is a little different.

[redapron]

Half of them are using the holly wheel and Happiest of Holidays.
The other half are using On Angel's Wings.

I have about 15 more to make then start writing them out.

I make about 50 cards each year.

[The Cat's Meow]

some as using the Loads of Love and some are using the angel from Yuletide Montage with the Christmas message stamp from On Angels Wings inside the card. Gorgeous! I chalked the angel on the front of the card.

[Emilysuesue]

I'm going to use Lovely as a Tree. Haven't figured out what I'm going to use as the greeting inside, though.

[SOS]

I'm making the card I posted in the DD gallery using On Angels Wings. I'll be making about 100 so I'd better get busy!!!!!!!!!!!

[kel1274]

I'm using Loads of Love. I can't get enough of that set!!
