Happy weekend! Now that it’s November, Christmas card creating really gets going! I hope this series of post has helped you out this year.
I really wanted to continue this series through the end of November, but I’m having surgery the week of Thanksgiving. Unfortunately that is usually the week I make my desk calendars for next year. Since I’ve lost that time, I need to start working on them on the weekends. There is no way I can make enough cards for each post, and the desk calendars. I will keep making Christmas cards, and sharing them here and on Instagram.
Ok, now that I have broken the bad news, let’s get back on track. Concord & 9th’s Ornamentals stamps and dies. Sorry about the pictures, between day light savings and the rainy weekend, I had no luck.
I’m starting with the new cards I made.

Now, lets look at some older cards, starting with this cardI shared last week, the Mistletoe Messages post.
Older cards:
This set was the base for my 2017 Christmas cards. I didn’t buy a whole lot of sets my first year, and this set was so versatile. I hope these help you! It’s neat to see how my card making has changed over time with these post (as well as my photography skills lol). I’m sorry I won’t be able to continue these post like I had hoped. Time just got away from me.
Thanks for stopping by, and sticking with me through these long post!
