I used to get really annoyed whenever I saw that department stores were filling shelves with Christmas decorations before we even got through Halloween. In the crafting world that is expected. I can remember making Christmas ornaments to sell as early as February and March for the following year. I was fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom for many years and to make a little extra money for Christmas I always crafted and then would hold open houses in October, November and December. I have several pics that I will post (they're all packed in anticipation of our move) and will do a blog at some point on my history of crafting.
I digress. Back to Christmas before Halloween, I have made several Christmas cards and wanted to share them. I thought they turned out quite pretty. Let me know what you think.
The white one above doesn't quite show it but the cardstock has been embossed with the snowflakes folder and covered in white and silver Stickles. All the cards above are made with Stickles and shine and sparkle.

Hi Marianne :) Great cards! I especially like the one with the little mittens.

Thanks Abbey! It must seem funny to you to see mittens and Christmas together. Just as funny as it would be for me to see bathing suits and Christmas together! LOL
Your Christmas cards look lovely! I LOVE making Christmas cards. There are so many pretty stamps and images out there.
Hugs and smiles
