I laughed pretty hard when I saw the comment MissyJoon left on my last post asking if I've been hanging out in Westport with Martha Stewart. Given that I'm here in Connecticut, that isn't such a stretch, but no, Martha and I have not been spending time together. I've been making my Christmas cards all on my own. Here's how I did it.
First, stamp 'em. The inside too.
Let 'em dry. Then add some color.
Don't forget to sign the back.
And voilà, Christmas cards!!!
Not too bad for my first try, even if they are a little basic. I hope to continue my card making tradition every Christmas, and work up to more and more elaborate cards each year.

Those are great cards! I love the little people. Now, if I had only learned to color inside the lines...
Very cute!! I hope you don't have to make 100 of them!
If you're craving elaborate card ideas, check out the gallery at SplitCoastStampers. I used to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and I got lots of ideas there.
those are awesome!!!
Those make me want to stamp! Adorable cards!

Those are really cute cards! Eat your heart out, Martha.
I'm with Sonya - eat your heart out Martha
Fabulous! Your card is very trendy. That style (line drawings, simple coloring) is very in right now. I'm a stamper too. I second the comment about splitcoaststampers.com. Great ideas!
Great cards! Every year I think that I will make my own too and never seem to get around to it..maybe this year?
What great cards! I don't think they look "basic" at all. They look very hip and professional.
Great job! My cousin makes her own cards, it is awesome and we look forward to getting them every year! Happy Thanksgiving Karen~
Cool cards! But lazy me always ends up buying a ton of cards and forgetting to send them out. I am jealous!
