Very first Christmas card of the season!

Hey, everyone! I'm here today with my very first Christmas card of the season! I know.... I'm such a lazy papercrafter, I have really been putting it off..... I made a lot of Christmas cards last year! LOL! Anyway, I'm making a commitment to make more Christmas cards- no more procrastination! Here's the card:


For this card- I pulled out my new Vintage Ornament Dies, Distressed Dots Patterned Paper, and some Vintage Cream Felt. Very simple... just the way I like my holiday cards! I'm entering this card into the challenge over at Caardvarks, which is to use holiday die cuts! FUN! I'm also entering it into the challenge at Wee Memories, which is to dust off that patterned paper! Super fun challenge for those like me that almost NEVER touch the piles of patterned paper they're hoarding (and by hoarding I mean saving for something very special.... hehe...). 

Thanks for taking a look today!

FYI: If you're interested in the recipe for the yummy pumpkin cream cheese swirl pie from my previous post, it has been added to the bottom of the post! Just scroll on down!

  3. Love your card - I was also thinking of doing ornaments on the front of my cards but haven't gotten motivated yet. Thanks for showing such a pretty example!

    Funny thing - my last name is also Washburn. We are originally from Michigan.

  4. This is beautiful. I love the hanging ornaments - they look great with pp. I keep wavering on whether or not to get those dies.

  5. "And by hoarding I mean saving for something very special." Hahaha. I really like this card - the sentiment really sets it off and ties everything together.
