Christmas Cards....something different

i always make my own cards for birthdays and christmas plus i always make all my own gift tags and i sell gift tags too. i use stickers old paper, pretty much all the stuff you use. i even stitch some of them.

I love it! I would really like to make my own cards as it would be such a warm touch. But unfortunately I cannot afford to and don't have the time. I usually just get the cheap box of generic cards & type out a Christmas letter with updates of the family and stick it in there. Good luck to you! The people receiving them are truly lucky!

Hi jillhill,

Sounds very nice but I wish I was handy like that but I´m not so I try to buy nice Cards if I can and for me it´s the same thing. I do shop around as the choice of cards here is very limited but anyway if someone sent me a Card like that with lace and things I would be really delighted. You must be really artistic Jill. Do you do Halloween things too?

U are so smart. I know they will be lovely. I'm sure u know i love vintage things. NO, I buy mine at wal-mart, lol. don't send many anymore just mostly out of towns one.

Lol yes I do and you have seen some of the ones that I have made
I have 3 more to do and then I am done
I hope you will show your Cards to Jill as I would love to see them

I've made my own Christmas cards for the past two years. However, I create them digitally and send them off to be printed. That is what works the best for me with my limited time and resources. However, I also feel like I am really putting that little something extra into my own cards by making them myself. I incorporate pictures of the children into them and they are a keepsake in and of themselves. I really like being able to send and to receive homemade cards of some sort.

Hi jillhill, we don't have christmas cards here, nor birthday cards or nameday cards, in fact we don't have any cards at all. I really hope that the card world doesn't find out and try to colonise up. I think it's really refreshing not to have cards for everything and just think of the trees we save.

That sounds cool. Much more special than store bought. No, I've never made homemade Christmas cards. Although I did have fun making homemade Valentine's Day cards. They were pretty popular with the people I sent them to. That was several years ago though.

Yikes, I barely even DO cards any more, much less make my own!!!

The cards sound so neat. I love antique looking things also. Am sure your finished project is great looking. You come up with really unique crafts. Actually, I don't send Christmas cards anymore except to our kids and grandkids. Haven't sent any in several years now and our friends still like us! Amazing but it's true.
