Holiday Card Throwback (not really!) #11: Winter Birthday Cards

Hi there!  Today's throwback isn't really a throwback, in the sense that it isn't a video walk down Memory Lane.  Today I decided to make some birthday cards for a birthday RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) group that I belong to.  Since I wanted to get a head start on my January cards, and since I still had my box of Christmas stamps out, I thought I would use a snowflake background stamp. Almost all the supplies I used were quite old.   A full supply list, with links to where you can buy them, will be at the end of this post.  If you'd like to know how I made these, please leave a comment below to let me know.  Thanks for visiting, and Happy Holidays!

Holiday Card Throwback #10: Tim Holtz Christmas Tag - Good Ol' Frosty

Remember when Tim Holtz used to do his 12 Tags of Christmas?  It was such an exciting time for us stampers.  We got a chance to play with all those supplies we'd collected during the year and do something fun with them.  It was so disappointing when he stopped doing them in 2016.  I really miss them.

Yesterday I thought I'd re-visit some of them and share with you.  I thought it would be very timely, since things are getting down to the wire, and you're probably (like me) getting ready to wrap some Christmas gifts.

Here ya go:  Enjoy!

Holiday Card Throwback #9: Lawn Fawn Toboggan Together

I have this set, and it's one of the cutest sets I own.  Although this video is filmed at an unusual angle, the card is cute and pretty easy to make.  You don't need all the dies she uses, and you don't even need the same stamp set.  You could use any animals and trees you have to make something similar.  Enjoy!

Holiday Card Throwback #8: Foiling

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, friends, and loved ones.  For today's video, I chose another one from Gina K.  If you have her Foil Mates, or any other holiday foiling supplies, she has some really cute ideas here.  Have fun, and remember:  Only 26 more days until Christmas!  Get busy on those Christmas cards!

Holiday Card Throwback #7: Snowmen in the Forest

Here's another throwback from 2017 by Gina K.  Even if you don't have this stamp set, you probably have similar stamps in your stash.  I love mixing and matching stamps from different sets to make something fun and creative!  This video is a bit on the long side, but Gina teaches some simple, useful techniques, so I think it's well worth the time.  I hope you like it, and thanks for following my Holiday Throwback Series!

Holiday Card Throwback #5: A Really Simple Happy Holidays

Hey, good to see you again!  I'm continuing my progress through KW's 2009 Holiday Card Series, and I think this one is something almost all of us can do.  If you have a die-cutting machine, some letter stamps, spray ink, and white embossing powder, this is a piece of cake.  Hope you enjoy!

Holiday Card Throwback #3

Hey there!  Here's another cute and easy one from KW's 2009 Holiday Card Series.  You can adapt this card to use what you already have - especially all that ribbon I know you're hoarding!  Enjoy!

Holiday Card Throwback Series

Hey everyone!  Today is the first day of my Holiday Card Throwback Series, where I will post "blast from the past" videos showing how to make holiday cards.  Have you got supplies that you've bought over the years because someone did something cool with them?  Have they been sitting around doing nothing ever since?  Maybe you'll see them used in one of these videos!

Please note that these are not my videos, and I'm not endorsing any of the original posters or the companies mentioned in the videos.  I haven't received any compensation from anyone.  I'm sharing these for fun and inspiration.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

************************************************************************

Today's video inspiration comes from Kristina Werner's 2009 Holiday Card Series.  She uses her Cricut Expression with SCAL, the Fiskars Threading Water punch, the WRMK Corner Chomper, and an old SU snowflake punch!  (Maybe we have some of these?)   Enjoy!
