Christmas on parade!

This week at Jacksonbelle Embellishments we are showcasing Making Memories papers and products. I absolutely {heart} their Mistletoe Christmas line of patterned papers and embellies. I think I have made 7 Christmas cards out of this paper and I still have a smidge left that I am going to have to use up as well.

This first card features patterned paper by Making Memories, the little felt embellie is from MM too - isn't that adorable?? - my pretty ribbon is from Pink Paislee, and then topped off with some Prima Say it in Crystals.

My second card I had an issue with so Imma have to send it to someone who won't notice (like my brother who even when I stamp my name on the back won't realize that I actually made the card). Patterned papers by MM, the lil' felt cardinal too, my Christmas tree and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink and I've got some Dew Droplets (bigger ones) and some vintage buttons on the tree. The issue is the ribbon. The ribbon is from MM too and called vintage something and it's like this lacey sheer ribbon - as you can see, my glue stained and dried dark and icky *pouts*

My last card features more MM patterned papers and felt embellie, ribbon from Melissa Frances, and sentiment from Papertrey Ink. Do you save every last piece of scrap paper? I do - especially ones that have been embossed or cut out like that little piece of Dark Chocolate under the sentiment. That was just a tiny piece I had left from cutting something out with the Nesties and I thought it would be a cute lil' accent imperfect though it may be.

These cards are all terrific and definitely are getting me in the spirit, even though it's soooo early. I especially love the felt pieces.

I can't believe the Christmas card stack you must be accumulating! The bottom of the 3 is definitely my favorite out of the bunch. Keep the inspiration coming, and maybe someday I'll really start my Christmas cards.
