Hello friends! Just wanted to pop in to wish you all a Merry Christmas and to share some final Christmas creations that I’ve made basically within the last few weeks! Some of these are cards that I’ve sent friends and family and some are recent makes for Craft Roulette challenges.
- Scroll below this post to see the give away!
First up are the last few weeks of the Craft Roulette challenges:
(I got out my stretchy pants to play along!)😉




Hopefully the next several cards have been received by everyone they were sent to, but if not, maybe the surprise will be which one you will get! I don’t like making several at one time, so I’ve split up the design in sessions using the Taylored Expressions Make It Merry Stamp Set along with the Happy Half Sheets: (I’ve made my own “map” with the images)



Lastly, I’ve made several of these photo frame cards using the Lisa Horton Framed Poinsettia Stencils/Die/Embossing Folder: (Using a photo recently taken for our 25th wedding anniversary)

Hope you’ve enjoyed all of my Christmas projects this year and a very special thank you for being apart of the crafting journey with me! I’m so thankful for the friends I’ve met along the way!
ALERT!! GIVEAWAY!!
Since this is the season of giving, I would like to gift someone that would like to receive this set that I have collected myself (over the entire year as an extra) to give away to someone:


If you’re NOT familiar with Taylored Expressions, this is a collection of the “freebie” rubber stamps that a person receives when placing an order. Each month the stamp image changes to something else. I have not only collected a set for myself, but I’ve also collected another entire set (12 rubber stamps) to give to someone else that would like one! I have included the sturdy laminated Collection card, in addition, a sturdy plastic sleeve in which to store it all in. Plus, I’ve also included a set of 2025 tear-off calendars in a package of ten to go with it!
You can purchase these in the store here under the Pretty Postage Collection, but I’m giving them all away in one set for the entire year as I’ve collected them. I did NOT include the Pretty Postage die set that cuts out the images, but you can purchase your own by clicking on the link.
- If you are interested in this give away from me (no affiliation with any company), please just leave me a comment below to tell me that you’re interested in the give away. THAT’S ALL YOU NEED TO DO, BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL ME IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN GIVE AWAY!
- You will need to leave your comment below by January 3rd, 2025 to enter. I will announce here on my blog who won by January 5th, 2025. (The winner will need to be in contact for mailing out prize.)
- P.S. If you have been collecting and looking for one you’re missing, let me know which month and I’ll see if I have it as I have several months that are extras! (I know that I do NOT have any August left, though.)
Just wanted to send out a little Christmas cheer to a crafty friend! It doesn’t matter where you live, I will be happy to mail it out…so please don’t let that stop you! It’s just a special gift from one crafter to another to enjoy!
Thank you for making my crafting journey a special one and for joining me here to share inspiration with one another! Looking forward to more in the coming year!
Wishing you and yours a VERY Merry Christmas with lots of joy and love!
(I will be back after Christmas (Saturday) to share an art journal page with you!)
Wow, what a beautiful and versatile series you show us, Vicki. My favourite is the one with the blue panels with snowstars and the huge poinsettia.
And I am interested in your fab giveaway for sure!
Love the frame with the photo of that beautiful couple!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas.

Wow Vicki, what a wonderful array of Christmas cards and I’m especially loving the first item which I thought was a money envelope and the ideas started rolling in my head because I make them every year. I’ve been inspired to try your impressive idea to make mine for next year. The blue poinsettia card is just lovely and I LOVE how you inserted the photo of you and your hubby into another design, but everything you shared here looks amazing. I see the card you sent me in that awesome collection too, and I just love it. You’ve really shared a great post for Christmas creations and you’re even offering a free gift as well. That’s really the Christmas spirit and who wouldn’t love to have that fun stamp set? The possibilities are endless for creating great calendar pages all year long. Count me in please. that is so kind of you. Wishing you and yours the merriest Christmas and a blessed, happy and healthy new year in 2025. Have a good weekend too 🙂
