					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christmas Card Project has began!</p>
<p>I have a goal this year I would like to send out handmade cards to all our church family, friends and family members. This is a big goal for me because we usually sent out at least 200 Christmas cards every year! That is a lot! But I would like to try <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>And here are the first 2 cards I made today:</p>
<p><a title="Merry Christmas - PS Drafts Designer Sketch Challenge" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/20932755815/in/dateposted-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm1.staticflickr.com/640/20932755815_3427278cf4_z.jpg?resize=561%2C561&#038;ssl=1" alt="Merry Christmas | http://helengullett.com/?p=7378 #ctmh #snowhaven #handmadecard #cardmaking #papersmooches #michaels #christmascard #creatingjoyfully" width="561" height="561" /></a></p>
<p>This first card is inspired by a sketch challenge at <a href="http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Paper Smooches SPARK Challenge</a> for their Designer Drafts Challenge this week. Paper I used is <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=88" target="_blank">Snowhaven paper packet</a> (CTMH) and the snow embellishments are from Recollections (Michael&#8217;s store). The sentiment is from the <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Christmas_Sampler_p/ocs-12-120.htm" target="_blank">Christmas Sampler</a> stamp set (<a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/" target="_blank">Paper Smooches</a>) that I stamped and heat embossed using <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8054">Ranger<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Princess Gold Embossing Powder</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/2.bp.blogspot.com/-YDyJP5bhiAc/UnmGPqclKpI/AAAAAAAAMsk/LvTcQvrmXwI/s1600/SPARKS%2BBADGE.jpg?resize=216%2C210" alt="" width="216" height="210" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.com/2015/08/august-23-29-designer-drafts-challenge.html"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/1.bp.blogspot.com/-5S2B_qXshTc/VbkfMWPu8oI/AAAAAAAAX5c/hlQQV7Xk0eU/s640/AUG-2015.png?resize=561%2C512" alt="" width="561" height="512" /></a></p>
<p>The second card is a one layer card. I used pencil to draw a triangle to make the shape of a tree and stamped the Fa-La from <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Christmas_Sampler_p/ocs-12-120.htm" target="_blank">Christmas Sampler</a> stamp set (<a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/" target="_blank">Paper Smooches</a>) inside the triangle using <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com" target="_blank">Pear Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad</a> (CTMH). And I finished it with some Christmas embellishments I got from Michael&#8217;s a while ago and some Studio G Glitter pen to make the garland.</p>
<p><a title="Fa La La Christmas Tree" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/20906716806/in/dateposted-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm6.staticflickr.com/5813/20906716806_621b00311c_z.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1" alt="Fa La La Christmas Tree | http://helengullett.com/?p=7378 #ctmh #snowhaven #handmadecard #cardmaking #papersmooches #michaels #christmascard #creatingjoyfully" width="640" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>I will post more Christmas Cards that I make to share with you and hopefully they can inspire your to create more <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> So, what is your plan for this Christmas? Will you make handmade cards, or buying, or printing photo cards?</p>
<p>Have a Terrific Thursday!</p>
