Welcome back to the blog for day nine of our 12 Days of Holiday Giving event! Today, Wendy Sue Anderson is showing us that if we have beautiful holiday papercrafting collections on hand, we should create a card, or THREE! Let’s take a look at what she is sharing, and don’t miss the chance to win two new prizes at the end of the post!

Hello! It’s Wendy Sue Anderson with you today! It’s hard to believe we’re jumping into the holiday season again—it feels like we just rang in the new year, and now it’s time to decorate the tree! I’m not complaining though, Christmas is my favorite holiday! From decorating to crafting and baking and just soaking up the cheerful atmosphere, it’s such a magical time of year. Making my own Christmas cards is one of my favorite ways to kick off the holiday season–it’s fun, creative, and full of festive vibes!

Supplies | Carta Bella Paper A Vintage Christmas collection: Patterned paper, stickers, chipboard, enamel dots, cardstock; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: Adhesive and foam adhesive; May Arts: Jute; Faber Castell: chalk pencils; Scrapbook.com: Vellum; Other: sewing machine; white thread
This year I’m using the A Vintage Christmas collection from Carta Bella Paper for my cards. The nostalgic elements in this collection instantly transport me to the warmth and simplicity of Christmases past.

One of my favorite techniques is using tags as the base of my cards. Tags aren’t just for gifts—they’re the perfect starting point for decorating and embellishing cards!

The cozy, vintage Santa designs and timeless patterns bring such nostalgic charm, making these cards extra special.

After all, who wouldn’t love getting a one-of-a-kind card made with love and personalized just for them?

If you’re looking to add timeless charm to your holiday greetings, A Vintage Christmas is the perfect collection to help you create cards that feel warm, nostalgic, and straight from the heart.

Make this holiday season unforgettable with cards that feel like cherished memories brought to life. Happy Holidays, SCT friends!

Wendy Sue Anderson these are the most gorgeous tags I have ever seen. Just Stunning. You could hang them everywhere for decorations. I’m in love. My favorite holiday movie is hard because I love them all so much. But I cry every time I watch “It’s a Wonderful Life”, every Christmas Eve. I love that the whole town comes to help out George Bailey. Makes me all warm and fuzzy to know there are some people who care for others and are willing to help their neighbor. We need more of this in our time, now today.
That is a very beautiful collection of paper. Great prizes, so generous of all these companies. One of my favourite holiday movie is Elf, .
