Screw that. I just bought 3 boxes of cards at Walmart for $2.97 per box. I think there are 22 cards (and envelopes) in each box.

Just make sure not to send the same cards to the same people two years in a row.  :rofl: :rofl:

I did that with my daughters birthday last year and the year before.

If you knew how much I spend of my crafting crap, if you were my husband you would demand that I make Christmas cards and every other card that I send out.

Not me. Some things - like sanity - are more important than price.

But hey, it's something you enjoy doing and when you have the mindset and the time, go for it. I certainly do not, and neither does Mrs E. So we "spend da money" and live another day.  :-)

Actually, I'm a wee bit jealous. Christmas gifts are always better when they're hand made. Reminds me of Tiny Tim.  :cheersmate:

Probably the HO HO HO one.  :-)

Here are two more. I got brave and drew dash lines with a white gel pen.  :panic:

I added a button to the one above.




Then looked at this card...



And decided I needed to change the greeting. It was crooked and kinda blah. I was luckily able to get the card off the card base. I used another card base because I screwed it up.

This one was fun for some reason.





Look close, can you see the shadow?  First I stamped with a metallic ink (platinum), its faint.  Then I stamped with versa mark (it's what you use when you want to emboss) then I embossed it with silver embossing powder. Next I dry embossed it with a snow flake embossing folder. Next I used red stickles to make red berries, then I put a few small gems on the "berries". Then I made the greeting and cut it out with a die (two actually one oval and another a scalloped oval.




Last but not least, sometimes you have to put a layer on the inside of the card because the outside is so heavy the card won't stant up. So I did this...
