I began making Christmas cards in September this year and by the time December arrived I was glad I had started that early! So far this year I have made close to 200 Christmas cards – all cut, stamped, glued, and sparkled by my own two hands! Some of the cards are hand-painted and detailed, while other cards are more simple and elegant. But as December approached, I needed to make a lot more cards (and tags) quickly!
When the Holiday Catalogue from Stampin’ Up! came out, I was immediately drawn to the Santa’s Workshop Suite. Specifically, a 50 piece Memories & More Card Pack that could easily be used for festive greeting cards and gift tags.
The double-sided cards came in 2 sizes plus four sheets of sticker accents. I simply added coordinating card stock (Whisper White, Garden Green, Poppy Parade, and Pool Party), a bit of stamping, sequins or twine, and a few other embellishments to create 25 holiday cards.
I also used the set of cards to make holiday gift tags – 20 in total.
The best part about making cards and tags from the same suite, is that they coordinate with each other!
These assorted Christmas cards are available for sale ($5 each or 5 for $20) as well as the tags ($1 each). Contact me at lfedynak@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing some.
A selection of these cards (and others) are also available at Bunches Flower Company in Edmonton. Stop in, buy some flowers and a handmade card and support two local YEG businesses!

I’ll have to remember to try the memories and more card packs…can’t believe how many great cards and tags you made!!
This card pack was so cute and easy to make cards with! If I hadn’t made tags I probably could have created at least 10 more cards. The trick is to make sure you have the coordinating card stock and embellishments!!
Good tip!!
