I was really excited to start working on Christmas cards. It's a must for me to start early! I wanted to use a non-traditional color scheme, and I really enjoy the way it turned out.
Do you notice anything familiar about my card? Oh yes, it's my sketch from yesterday! If you didn't see our sketches, make sure you check those out and play along for a chance to be our guest designer next month!
Also, the ribbon on my card will be available tonight at midnight eastern as well! We'll be releasing it in several colors, and it is just luscious!
And I know you'll want to go check out the design team's blogs:

Dana used her sketch as well from yesterday to make this gorgeous Christmas card. I just adore how she did that gradient effect on her sentiment. And doesn't that open line sentiment look so good embossed? You'll definitely want to check her blog because she has two more FABULOUS cards as well.
I have two videos for you today, if you like to see these two stamp sets in action!
Fall Fest:
You can also watch it on YouTube.
Christmas Wonder:
You can also watch it on YouTube.
So tonight's the night! Fall Fest and Christmas wonder will go on sale at midnight eastern. We also have tons of ribbon we'll be adding to the store. Oh and we just got tons of Fabric Tape back in stock! I'll be back later today to show you more of our new ribbon! But before you go, we need to give away Christmas Wonder. I'd love to know how you go about making your Christmas cards. Do you start early, do you put it off to the last minute, do you mass produce, or do you make originals for all of them?

Don't forget about our little sketch challenge from yesterday!

Wow, that Christmas set looks fantastic - I love how the sentiments and flourishes can be colored in. Can't wait to have this!!

Oh what a happy surprise! Love the non-traditional Christmas colour combo!
Thanks for the video too - a great way to make me even more excited about seeing the sets in full glory!
Oh how I wish I could master graphic design to create stamps - I'm limited to pencil and paper at the moment :D

So excited to see Karen designing for you. I am a fan of her fab creations. As for Christmas cards, I am typically a November sorta girl. I made them in June one year, but then by the time Christmas came around I wanted something completely different.
I'm a mass-producing procrastinator when in comes to Christmas cards. :)
YAY! KAREN! I'm thrilled to see more coming out each month. {Maybe I'll score some Christmas money so I can actually afford to buy lots of your great stuff.}
Great little Christmas set. Can't wait to see it all!
I make my cards little by little over the year. No duplicates or mass-producing here!

I am a big procrastinator when it comes to making x-mas cards....I really should start now!

How do I make my Christmas cards? I try to start early, then fall behind and at the last minute try to mass produce LOL!!
Your Christmas set looks terrific!! Thanks for the peeks :)
I just started Christmas cards this week because I send them to our military through OperationWriteHome--great organization. I'll probably be doing my own at the last minute. I love how you embossed the Christmas set.
