Hey there!
How’ve you been? I hope you’re off to a great start for the New Year!
I’m back at home after the Christmas celebrations – did you have a great time, too?
My Christmas was lovely, I had so much fun seeing my family and some friends.
I wanted to share with you a selection of this year’s Xmas cards (41 altogether).
There’ll be some cards you have already seen, but without further ado – here are my 15 favourites from Christmas 2009:
(#1) Below you’ll find a poll, so pick your favourite – I’d love to see what you thought of them! This card was already featured in this post from October 2009.
(#2) This is a card you already know as well, see this post.
(#3) That one was created for Dawn’s 19th Color Challenge as can be seen here.
(#4) And finally the last card you will recognize from a post on my blog, made for the Moxie Fab Challenge “Christmas in the Old Country”.
(#5) This little round card has its “bigger brother” over here at Kristina’s blog, Holiday Card Series Day 6. I love love LOVE this tree. So adorable.
(#6) The inspiring example here was this card from Kelly Marie aka Lawn Fawn Cards. Love the simplicity and effectiveness of using all the different patterns. Plus this card is flat enough for mailing!
(#7) Another one from Kristina Werner’s Holiday Card Series – this time from Day 22. The colour scheme is pretty untraditional, PTI’s Saddle Stitch Ribbon in Lemon Tart is a perfect match!
(#8) If this one looks familiar to you, it might be that you’ve seen Day 21 of the Holiday Card Series from Kristina Werner.
(#9) This one’s a looser interpretation of Day 14 of the Holiday Card Series. If you like, here’s a detail picture.
(#10) The background of this card was embossed with glittery clear embossing powder (shortly before my heat gun died…), unfortunately you can’t really see that in the picture. It’s also a pretty straight forward CASE of Day 23 from Kristinas HCS.
(#11) That one is based upon this non-holiday card by Kelly Rasmussen. Just changed the butterflies to snowflakes and voilà !
(#12) This card isn’t based on anything, really. I needed some cards that were flat enough for the snail mail and this is my very favourite one, I think. It’s very sparkly IRL (see the sparkle in this picture?) and I wrote the sentiment myself 🙂
(#13) This was one of my absolute faves from Kristina’s HCS – Day 12. Love the stripes, the buttons, the snowflakes, the sentiment, the colours – everything, really.
(#14) I’m not sure where I got the inspiration for this card from, might have been several cards from the HCS as well… I also wanted to break out my silver embossing powder! All in all I think this one turned out pretty masculine, I kinda like the look 🙂
(#15) Last but most certainly not least, one of my top 3 this Christmas – based on Day 4 of the Holiday Card Series from Kristina. Here and here are close-ups of this card.
Now it’s up to you, which one do you like best?
