Hi everyone! Did you all survive Halloween? We have so much candy around here that I keep telling my husband to take it to work. It's too much of a temptation having it around the house! Now that Halloween is behind us and Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approaching, it's time to start working on those Christmas cards! I went through the sketchbook and pulled some fun Christmas/holiday cards to share with you today.

First up is a darling card by Maren Benedict. In this card, she uses our brand new "Holiday Season" single that we just released. I love this quote and love the cute card Maren created. The colors are yummy and those cute snowflakes at the bottom are the perfect touch!

Second, is a lovely card designed by Taylor Usry using our "Silent Night" set. Isn't this card gorgeous?! I love the colors and how the the white stamped images just pop. It's very eye-catching!

Next up is a fun Santa card designed by Jeni Allen using our "Christmas Magic" set. I love this Santa! I love the layout of this card and think the felt snowflake in the corner totally adds to the design.

Next is a super cute card designed by Joslyn Nielson. She has used the Nutcracker image from our November Monthly Mix "Christmas Wishes." I'm in love with these colors too. The green and red polkas are so cute paired with the kraft paper and gorgeous ribbon!

Check out this adorable card designed by Debbie Fisher. She's used the stocking on a string image from our "Deck the Halls" stamp set. I love the different patterned papers she used for this card. It's a fun layout and I love how she colored the stockings. So fun!

Last but not least, we have gorgeous gift wrap that Bethany created using our "Fanciful Flourishes" set. What a great way to personalize your gift wrap this year. Make your own using kraft paper and stamps and give your gift that extra personal touch!
