Chari‘s Christmas card combines a gorgeous, stenciled background with our new Christmas Stocking! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.


Thank you so much for watching!



Chari stenciled the beautiful Poinsettia Background then layered the Christmas Stocking on top. She stenciled the Cozy Sweater on the stocking and filled it with Holly Leaves Border greenery and berries, so pretty!


Audrey‘s Christmas card is so colorful and fun! She stenciled the String of Lights on the All the Sparkles background before adding the sparkly silver Giant Be Merry. And of course, the cute Winter Bird adds a bit of whimsy!


Yainea created an interactive card with Knock Knock, Who’s There! Her happy holiday scene features Ho-Ho-Holidays, Village Hillside Border and the Knock Knock Who’s There Tree Add-On!


Then the cute little Holiday Helpers elf pops out with the “nice list” when you open the door!


Megan created a card that is so cute by combining Simply Celebrate Santa and Simply Celebrate Hangouts! Her beautifully shaded Giant Be Merry is the perfect greeting!


Lynnette created a charming background for the Caroling Mice using Village Hillside Border and All the Sparkle paper! Then she added the die-cut sentiment from All the Santa Hats!


Marine‘s Build-A-Fox card is so much fun! She dressed the foxes in Santa hats from Build-A-Critter Christmas Accessories and Winter Accessories scarves. Then she gold embossed the Big Messages: Christmas greeting and framed it all with the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame. She added pretty detail with Christmas Garland and a Cute Candy Cane bow.


I love how Latisha combined Giant Be Merry with the coordinating die from Big Messages: Christmas! It’s the perfect layer in bright red! Then she added Christmas Garland and a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame in pretty Candy Cane Lane striped paper!


Elise created a simply delightful holiday card with a Cozy Sweater stenciled background and Giant Be Merry! A few scattered sequins add just the right amount of sparkle!


Melissa‘s Christmas card design is so pretty in shades of teal! She white embossed a Big Messages: Christmas greeting on a Peacock coordinating die cut. Then she created a fun background with Snowflakes Stencil and Clear Stencil Paste on white cardstock. Once the paste dried, she added a wash of watercolor and gold splatters.


Grace created adorable tags to dress up her gift packages using Christmas Stocking, Favorite Flannel Fall papers and colorful cardstock.


She added Chunky Glitter for lots of sparkle, then tied on a Tiny Tag. On the tag she stamped a greeting from Say What Christmas Critters!


And then Grace tucked some colorful lollipops through the slit in the top of the stockings making them even more fun!

Lots to make for friends (will do some more basic ones with big sentiment, bit like Elise’s design, so can make lots) and family (more detailed – these need to be sent to Australia though so need to get going with making them so I don’t miss the last post this year! 🙂 )

  118. Hmmm. Well, after the cards are sent, there’s our small Christmas. Since it’s just me&hubby, we usually try to take a few days away. Usually not too far away, but just the two of us. It’s kind of romantic—no outside obligations, and no work—just each other.

  136. I plan to put Santa hats on all the critters with the new “all the Santa hats,” set this year! It will be fun to mix old and new sets on Christmas cards.

  137. I’m making tags to give as gifts this year. And I’ll make some boxed sets of cards. I can’t stress myself out making all the cards b/c I do send about 200 and I am a public HS / MS teacher. It’s a thankless job most days and long hours. I’m doing great to make tags and boxed card sets. If I get really lucky or ambitious, I will also make some bookmarks. They were a hit when I did them before.
    The examples you shared are fantastic!! Love them!!!
