My resolution for this year with my hobby. Join a Christmas Challenge . I never get them done in time when the season comes around. Another resolution..to comment on cards that have none, and deserve recognition. Started the card by coloring the digi, and adding wink of stella. Cut die twice and adhered to card. Added sentiment and score lines. Also embossed envelope with the silicone pad to add texture to the envelope. TFL

Gorgeous! Great start to your Christmas stash! I have a resolution about comments too! I get upset when I don’t get in to make any comments, so I tell myself when I get a chance just make four comments each time and that will add up.

It amazes me at how much darker the colors are when using re-inkers, and I love what you did with them, Linda! You are always so uplifting with your heartfelt comments and some people are about to find out~

Marvelous card, Linda! The snowflake border is beautiful with the score lines and really sets off the pretty candy cane. Smart resolution, I should follow you on that one. I was scrambling this year too.

Gorgeous! The image is perfectly colored & the scoring adds a nice pop. Thanks for sharing the die cut x2. It really stands out ; don’t know why I never considered that. Anyway- stunning card!

Very nice card to add to your Christmas card stash. I especially like the dry embossed flap on the envelope. Adding a detail like that on the outside let’s the receiver know there is something very special inside! Love it.
I share your resolution to add to the a Christmas card supply well before the time they are needed. As for making comments on cards that have none, I think that is a fabulous resolution and one that I will borrow from you. Thanks for sharing this lovely card and envelope and also for sharing your card related resolutions!

Yeah so glad to see you are already working on your Christmas cards Linda. I have a goal to make 10 a month. I still have 3 more to get made this month to stay on track. I typically get behind in the summer months but I need to not do that this year since I added another 40 to the number needed since my mom and MIL both asked me to make them a few this year. I am hoping with my resolution to use up a large stack of stuff on my table that I can do some multiples of Christmas cards with those items and get that stuff used to kill two birds with one stone. This is gorgeous.
