Hello! While I am not nearly ready for Christmas, I am ready to get those cards going so I'm not rushing around at the last minute! If all the rest of my cards are as easy and quick as today's I'll be done in no time!
I recently purchased a sheet of paper that had 12 3x4 blocks on it and they were absolutely perfect for making Christmas cards. I know I made a pledge to use up my stash, but if it helps me get cards created quickly so I can make more pages, well...guess I just had to make the sacrifice! Ha!
I found that some of the blocks worked better with different shades of green, red, or blue, but once I had that figured out, it literally took me minutes to emboss the base and glue the layers together. Easy peasy! There were two blank frames that I stamped with sentiments, but other than the embossing, there really wasn't much to do. Sometimes it's nice to have pretty papers do all the work for you!
So now I have 12 cards in my Christmas stash. That's not nearly enough, but it's a start! Thanks so much for stopping by today. I promise my next MM will have a little more effort put into it! Have a wonderful week and I hope you find some time to be creative too!
That paper was a great find! Anytime you can get that many cards out of a sheet of paper it's wonderful - plus ALL of these are so pretty too!

Wow! Pretty cards and a good dent in your Christmas card stash. Maybe I'll reuse some old Christmas cards in this way.
