Christmas Card Marathon

We'll be making two cards of each of the following designs at our Christmas Camp on October 16th. There may be one change if I'm able to come up with a design I'm pleased with. I will move one of these cards to the workshop on November 6th.


Most of these cards were made using Cherry Cobble cardstock, Old Olive cardstock and Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper. The gift card holder card was made using Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper.



I used the Dasher single stamp for this card and stamped the "joy" from Delightful Decorations and then punched out with a circle punch.



This card was created with the holly stamp from the Bells and Boughs stamp set and the Delightful Decorations stamp and then punched out with the Ornament punch. It's a simple but very pretty card.


This card was made from the Come to Bethlehem set. I found the We Three Kings sheet music on the internet, shrunk it down and changed the color to a light brown. I ran Very Vanilla through the printer and was able to print four card fronts per sheet. I cut the star apart from the stamp so I could put it up toward the top of the page and used gold embossing powder. The wise men are stamped in a brown and then colored in with a corresponding marker. After trial and error, this seemed to produce the best results.
