I'm trying to be organised early for Christmas this year to avoid too much last minute rushing around (that's the plan anyway!) so over the last week or so I've been making a concerted effort to get some cards made so they're ready for posting and handing out in a couple of weeks. To try and make the process easier I've been using some shapes downloaded from the Silhouette store to cut on my Craft Robo as the basis for my cards. I've also dug out the remnants of some Christmas themed kits that have been sitting unused. The cards below are all made from the scraps of Echo Park papers from the 2010 Christmas kit from Gottacraft (the kit is long gone but some of the papers are still available here)

The Santa on my first card is cut from a Silhouette file, luckily there weren't too too many fiddly bits to cut and I love that I could make him the exact size I wanted.

 

The snowflakes for this one were again cut from a Silhouette file (the shape was from a set designed by Echo Park which matched perfectly to their papers).

With some of the last pieces I made this card, the snowflake border came on the sticker sheet that came with the kit.

Finally with some tiny offcuts I made a couple of tags, using a stamp on one and some bits from the sticker sheet.

Now all I need to do is finish the Christmas shopping so I've got something to attach the tags to!
