Here is the list and the links for each month for the 2021 Christmas card challenges!! Please post any Christmas Cards you have made in each month even if they do not follow the theme. The themes are here to give each of us help to accomplish our card making goals!
Ann, thanks for the inspiration and hosting this challenge! I'm hoping to get lots of cards made for Christmas. I sold or sent out every Christmas card I had made the last couple of years. I need this challenge to get me going! I hope to do 4 a month!

I have tried this several times but the last couple years did not work out. This year I am down to not many cards left over so I will give it a try again. I think I will designate all of these cards each month to give to my Mom so she has Christmas cards to use in December again. I will do 10 a month as she lives in an assisted living home and gives out many of them there.
Thanks for hosting this and getting me going as I like to make Christmas cards all year, about 300 total.
Love the themes- thanks again Ann for hosting this challenge!
Since I mailed 150 and still did not have enough (mailed all of my old stash as well), I am going to make a goal of 15 per month. Hopefully that will be enough.
Did anyone else have issues with cards being delivered damaged or not intact (plus very late delivery)? I put non-metered mail stamps on all plus extra postage and padding. At least one person only received the front of the envelope - no card at all. Just curious, I know the post office in the US was overwhelmed this year.
Thanks for this great challenge, Ann! I want to join this year and make 4 cards per theme! I am sure I will also add extras that do not fit the theme since I depleted my Christmas stash this year!
I haven’t done this for a few years ... but am looking forward to joining again.
I will try and accomplish at least 2 each month related to the monthly theme, and a total of 10 each month.
Julie - that is an impressive amount of cards - good on you!
I only had one issue with a damaged card arriving here but experienced the same very late delays that many of us did - we can only hope that 2021 will be better!
my name is Kelli, my goal is at least 5 cards a month.
i will try to do some of the themes but am mostly trying to use the christmas stamps and paper and stuff i buy every year!! i have bought so much in the past that there's so much unused it's crazy!!! (but glad to know i'm probably not alone in doing so lol!)
Every year for the past three years I sign up for this challenge, but have yet to upload a single card. It WILL be different this year.
I make and sell gift card holders at craft fairs in the fall--hundreds of them. (Gift card holders seem to sell better than actual greeting cards.) I will try to post a few gift card holders that follow the monthly theme. Maybe one monthly design, and six cards per design.
Meanwhile my husband has been sending out storebought Christmas cards to our family and friends! I have been shirking my duty as a papercrafter! So I hope to make at least two regular Christmas cards per month to give to him by November. It's his self-appointed job to prepare and mail our Christmas cards the day after Thanksgiving. I love him...
Looking forward to seeing other people's cards this year.
Well, I have made so many cards this year I'm up to May. I'm glad I have so much time for this challenge because Fun Folds will be quite a challenge for me. I may need four months to get them done, we'll see!
Hi - I would like to join this Christmas Challenge and, hopefully this time, actually get some cards made in a timely fashion instead of a mad rush at the end of the year! I will say - 4 cards a month but maybe more. Thanks Anne
Just saw this challenge thread and think it’s a great idea! I’m jumping in, but with a low bar of one or two per month...that way, I can only surprise myself if I make more!
