I make “kits” with paper, embellishments and sometimes a few stamp sets that I could use. I’ll pick a random kit to work on. Yesterday the kit I picked was Christmas. I briefly thought about picking a different one but then thought what the heck. So I’m making Christmas cards. It’ll be a nice surprise come December when I remember I have them 😃

No I am. not, but it is a great idea to start thinking of this sooner than later. I tend to wait until the end and then for whatever reason I end up making cards that are simpler and don't get around to using my stamp/die sets because they require more time.
If I start super early maybe I can even make two cards for each person! Something completely different. I don't plan on buying any holiday stamps for a long time, so it's not like I don't already have what I need.

Not a Christmas card but I did make a card today. Yes, just one card using a stencil and bits and pieces from 2 other stamp sets and 3 different die sets plus my scan n cut. My room looks like a tornado ran through it with all the stuff laying around on my table.

I pull out just about everything it seems and it definitely looks like a tornado ran through there! |

Not over the weekend, but I made a bunch during the week! I think I have at least half done. They are very simple, however.

Not for my own use (I have learned that I overthink and never use ones that I make early) but I have made quite a few in the last month for charities I donate to  I had a Christmas paper pack from last year that was begging to be used so I turned it into a sheetload of cards. And then I saw a cute Santa paper at Joann's so I bought that and made another little pile. |

Great idea! I made most of mine in Jan & Feb. You will definitely appreciate them in December. I enjoy making them when I don’t have the time pressure of having to get them made. When you need to give your hands a break just pull out the envelopes & put your return address labels & stamps on them. Have fun!
