My holiday crafting is mostly cards but this year I am making some tags & trying to make a loaded envelope door hanger :-)
I’m a pretty slow crafter so I don’t get many holiday craft projects done, but I focus on where I think my crafts can help lift spirits. So far I’ve made cards and ornaments for hospitalized veterans, cards for nursing home residents, tags for children at a homeless shelter, and more cards for a church youth group for their fundraising. All these make me feel happy and useful with my crafting. ?
I make about 70 cards for Christmas, plus gift card holders, etc. I don’t mass produce them, but make them all different, because I get bored with that. :) Some are specially made for certain people, relating to age, interests, etc. I have lots of fun!!!
We will be at someone else’s house this year, so I have created some paper snow flakes for decorations and will have a small tree to set up. This will be different this year, but I am excited! I do love the Christmas holiday.
I’ve been busy making cards and 3D items for the past three months. Loads of requests to fulfill so I am definitely kept busy. But then again, it’s that time of the year. Merry Christmas to everyone!
I’m way behind on my Christmas cards, so I’m sure I will get some amazing inspiration from this hop :)
I am busy making lots of cards, place settings and decorations ready for christmas.
Great looking release, it has given me more ideas for my cards!
My holiday crafting is cards and a December daily! I am using the Echo Park Deck the Halls collection for my December daily and a wide variety of stamps from my favorite companies, lawn fawn, my favorite things, simon says stamp, etc, for my cards!
Love your projects but I don’t have an instagram account so I can’t comment there.
Post comment above on wrong blog. Sorry.
Great hop.
Every year I want to make cards, but haven’t been successful at making the time. So I make tags :) Great new products and I’m really enjoying seeing all of the creativity!
I’ve been busy making one-of-a-kind holiday cards! And, a set of about 2 dozen cards for my daughter to use. It’s a “flurry” of activity in my craft room!
I am new to crafting but I love stamping of any kind! I want all the cute stamps and papers I can handle. :)
I’ve made my Christmas cards (only 50 this year). Will be making some jewelry things for the gals. I got out my zillions of stamps, stamped lots of really nice images on some very heavy cardstock cut to size, and spiral-bound the results into adult coloring books. I used transparency film over chipboard that I covered with patterned paper to protect the book. They turned out so pretty, makes me want to keep them. Can’t wait to get the card kits. So much Christmas goodness.
This is full of gorgeous and fantastic things to create with!
I haven’t started my Christmas cards yet, but I’ve just finished a set of wood blocks that say “Give Thanks” on one side and when you flip them over they say “Jingle Bells.” Can’t wait to get started making cards next.
Mostly, my holiday crafting this year is making Christmas cards to send out. I also want to make gift tags and nice envelopes for gift cards. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m making lots of tags. Thanks
Holiday crafts are many, time is limited. Gifts usually include sewing, knitting, jewelry and card making, plus some tasty treat.
Thanks so much for the chance to win a gift voucher! I will be making my Christmas cards and some ornaments for friends this year.
I love making Christmas cards each year. I’m a little behind because I hurt my leg and can’t sit in scraproom very long. Can’t wait to try some of the techniques learned during hop. Great inspiration. Love the retro Santa.
AWESOME Hop! My projects this year are Shaker Christmas cards!
I just mailed 128 cards for the Caring Hearts card drive! Now I’m making more cards for friends and family. No two cards are exactly alike!
Super simple for me, hand colored or watercolor xmas cards, hand made tags, a few hand made gifts, but mostly decorations and tags.
I do it all. Cards, decorations and gifts! Busy, busy, busy!
There are so many wonderful Christmas stamps and embellishment available. I use my stamps on cards, gift tags, place cards, on paper cocktail napkins, banners,gift bags, wrapping & tissue paper, boxes…on and on. So Fun.
My sister in law and I have been Christmas crafting for a while now we have made wreaths, ornaments and will be doing much more if we have our way!
Make sets of tags for gifts and cards for me and my mother to give. Am always looking for new ideas and you always deliver.
amazing designs and great inspirations form the DT as usual:)
My holiday crafting hasn’t started yet since I didn’t have any Christmas stamps…I’m impatiently waiting on my December and Holiday card kits in order to start. (:
So far I’m just making cards for everyone.
I usually only make cards for the holidays. This year I plan on making cards and tags and gift card envelopes. I love not only the regular monthly kit this month, but this limited edition one.
I am making holiday cards for everyone, family and friends. Plus we moved into a new house this year so I want to make our change of address cards,too!
Cards is about all the crafting I do. Thanks.
I love to make Christmas cards. I think it is something special when I receive a handmade card so I like to take special care in making them for my loved ones.
I usually don’t do Christmas. I celebrate Chanukah. It’s family, friends and latkahs (potato pancakes). This year I am making Christmas & Chanukah cards to donate to a senior’s home.
Such an adorable kit! I love making special cards and tags for family members it keeps me busy!
So much inspiration, thanks for the gorgeous card kit!
I’ve ordered both kits and can’t wait!! I currently have a bunch of craft projects on the go. I am making two tree shaped box advent calendars, a ribbon wreath, a bunch of cards, tags for presents and probably more! My husband and I love Christmas and tend to go all out with it.
I grew up with a mom who was incredibly talented in the craft world. Christmas goes hand in hand with crafting and sharing it with the ones you love! Right now, I’m doing cards but I’m going to be making up a year of art prints for friends gifts. Can’t wait!
I’ve just really started getting into crafting (making cards). I used to draw all my own but I could only make a small amount but now that I’ve gotten more comfortable with stamping and die cutting I have made probably 25 cards so far for the holidays with lots of time still left! :)
i make my holiday cards every year. i’m hoping to again contribute to the caring cards drive too.
Cards, ornaments and tags are the mainstay of my Christmas crafting, though Im hoping for time to mix in some of my crochet items for gift giving!!
I love your card kit – jam-packed!!! What a fun time I’m having with this blog-hop! Jeri
What a wonderful blog hop full of so many great creations and wonderful ideas. Such beautiful work from all the designers. Love all the new releases. I’ve just finished the caring hearts card drive and am starting on the family cards. Such a joy to create. Sending Merry Chrismas wishes and blessings to all.
I generally just make cards, but hopefully this year I will be able make a few other paper crafting projects!
My holiday crafting ended up being a lot busier than I originally planned. I’m creating cards, ornaments, an advent calendar, and crocheting hats and scarves.
Making about 50 Christmas cards and also some handmade paper ornaments that can be included inside the card as a little gift from me. Just a small tree and a few table top decorations will do it for me this year. Thanks for the chance to win, Heidi!
I’m frantically working on Christmas tags now that I give for Thanksgiving presents, and then I’ll start with my Christmas cards. Thanks for the chance to win!
My Christmas/holiday crafting is taking a backseat at the moment to my schoolwork (I’m getting my teaching credential), but when I have spare moments I’ve been working on making gift tags. I love how quick and easy they can be since they’re smaller. I can’t wait till I have more time to create even more holiday crafts! :)
Handmaking ornaments and cards this year :)
