Our Family Christmas Cards

(Can you guess who made each card?)

Hello, crafty friends! It's been a lifetime, hasn't it? Well, only nine months but it feels like much longer! I've missed crafting and, if you can believe it, I almost forgot how. I decided to start a new tradition and do a family cardmaking day for Christmas. I did a ton of die cutting to prepare multiple pieces to choose from. We had the best time creating our individual cards! My husband still makes me a lot of cards year-round but it's been so long since my son has crafted. Do you remember when he used to film videos with me?!

The focal products of these cards is Lawn Fawn's Build-a-Bunny and Build-a-Critter Winter Accessories. We love bunnies so this set was perfect and a lot of fun to play with. The bunnies were cut from Portobello, Pebble and White cardstock, with Ballet Slipper, Briar Rose and Black accents.

This was our first time using these sets, along with the Riverside Backdrop: Landscape which I bought to go with the capybaras. The Stitched Rectangle Frames fit perfectly over this backdrop.

Most of these backgrounds were cut from Brushed White cardstock with skies dry embossed with the Sparkling Snow 3D Embossing Folder. Other background colours include Sea Glass, Briar Rose and vellum-covered snowflakes.

Patterned papers featured on these cards are from Snow and Cocoa by Crate Paper, one of my dozens of 6x6 paper pads, many of which are retired. A currently available alternative with similar colours is Simple Stories' Hard Candy Christmas.

We all wear glasses so I was delighted to discover that the Spellbinders' Smart Glasses fit on the bunnies perfectly! I cut all of the frame styles and tried them out. They were so adorable and made us laugh.

Some of the other accessories featured on the bunnies are the gift and wreath from Spellbinders' Playful Penguins, the rounded mug and whipped cream from Rocky the Dancin' Yeti, and the drum sticks from Dancin' Nutcracker Fritz.

The sentiments are from a combination of Mistletoe Greetings, Christmas Magic (the retired hot foil version of Christmas Memories Enclosed and die cut using a speech bubble from the Dad Jokes Die Cuts), and retired Glitter Wishes, die cut with a banner from retired Mini Everyday Sentiments.
