First Christmas Cards of the Year

In efforts to jump-start my holiday card-making and celebrate "Christmas in July", I participated in a swap hosted by the fabulous Dusti of Scrappin With Cricut. Here are two of the three cards I make using the Cricut Lite cartridge Jolly Hollys. When it was released just before Christmas, this cartridge was impossible to find. Fortunately, Cricut released it on their website just in time for "Christmas in July" projects. The paper is leftover from last year, but I if you like it, so retailers may still have some on clearance.

  2. Hi! Stopping by from Candace's link up party and now following! Those are great cards! I love the color scheme because those greens and reds are a bit muted and not crazy bright. Very pretty!
