Wow,
Thanks for all those great ideas, I had never considered Paint Prints when making Christmas cards, very clever idea.
I especially like the simple beauty of the first card
Love all your beautiful cards, so glad you got to play with us OCC girls.
These card are all so so pretty…Beautiful… I know what you mean by easy to mail. I spend 46 dollars yesterday mailing cards 75 total and I still have about 15 more to go…. I love it all the post office workers come out and ask to view my cards…I am getting on a first name basics with them…loads of fun!!!!!
You just gave me some great ideas for making more quick holiday cards! The first one is so simple to make and yet looks so elegant. I often find myself wondering why I spend so much time making cards, and then I see something like this today and it’s a forehead-slapping moment! DER!! LOL Simple can be very elegant, and you’ve proved that once again with all of these fabulous easy-to-create cards! Thank you for such wonderful inspiration each and every day!!! LOL
Wonderful set of cards Susan. Man I need to start these challenges to I can get my cards done. hee hee
I’m not sure if I’ve ever commented on your blog before, but I wanted to let you know that I really like your cards on this post. They’re a little different and fresh. Love the paint prints card. I still have that stamp set and I still love it!
Is that snowman ribbon? so cute!
Those are all fabulous!!! I have not even started my cards yet. I realized I needed to order ink and it has not arrived yet…fingers crossed it will be at home today! One of these years I’ll think ahead. 😉
Wow Susan … you’ve been really busy!!! All of these cards are fantastic, I don’t think I could pick a favorite! I’m so glad you played along on Tammy’s challenge! What a gorgeous “quick” set of cards … love the rich green with the white swiss dot … very classy!!
Susan, this has to be the best, quick and easy batch of Christmas cards I’ve seen! They are all wonderful and unique. All made with fresh designs. Love them all.

What a gorgeous group of cards…each one as fabulous as the next….and mail-able!!! WOW! That’s something I find hard to do these days!
Great cards!! LOVE the O Holy Night one. Have a similar stamp by Amuse and will be casing this one for sure – thank you!!
What a wonderful collection of cards, Susan! The one you made for mass production is a brilliant idea–so quick and easy, yet so clean and beautiful. Love the Rose Red, too. I remember when everyone was using Paint Prints for poinsettias. Gosh, I’d forgotten till now. It sure is pretty! Love the gold brads in the flower centers.
This cards are absolutely beautiful! Love the elegant style of the first card! Adore the ribbon on the second! SU stamps always amazed me! And the last card is so gentle and I love the golden brads!
Susan, that snowman card just brought such a smile to my face! That ribbon is precious—-I think I need to make a trip to Mike’s!
TFS!

All of these are so beautiful, and it’s wonderful that they are perfectly mailable as well!!
Susan, I love all of your cards today, especially the snowflake and snowman one. I love snowmen…
Pinky
These are beautiful, Susan….I love each one…thanks for the inspiration!!!
Beautiful…each and every one! 🙂
I like all of them except the tree one – I love the sentiment on it, just don’t like the fact that the trees are missing their tops.
I love the snow man one – the ribbon on that card is perfect!
A fabulous ensemble of cards Susan, all of them are so fun and festive!
Susan – all your holiday cards are gorgeous!!! Way to go!!!
All your cards are fabulous, Susan! And I love how you embellish your envelopes, too! I never remember to do that anymore! Thank you for playing my challenge, and for all your wonderful designs!
Love them all and the post above that I was locked out of!! Fabulous!!
