For the holidays I do both.
I usually do photo cards but love making cards. This paper is so cute. It could be cute for birthday cards for winter birthdays too.
I do both every year.
This prize package is awesome!!
Thanks for the chance to win.
Such a gorgeous issue! I’m still digging into mine even though I received it three days ago. I like to savour it bit by bit so it lasts longer lol. And what an AMAZING giveaway by PP! Such a gorgeous collection. My cards are definitely handmade. I make about 50 of them each year. It’s a labour of love for sure. 🙂
Such a beautiful set and great giveaway. Oh I would love to win this. Still have lots of cards to make and this would be a great addition.
I always send out handmade Christmas Cards as I feel they are more special for the people I hold dear in my heart. Love the beautiful Christmas Collection, this will be good for boys layouts also. Thank PP and SCT.
I love Christmas and paper crafting do my cards are homemade. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!
Handmade! First time I’ve done it.
All my holiday cards are handmade! Beautiful collection from PP!!
All my cards are homemade. Love Kringle & Co paper line and appreciate the chance to win it.
I make about 99.9% of my cards. There are a few that just don’t get why they are handmade, so for them, they get store-bought. The rest get handmade and love them! That makes it all worthwhile. This collection is beautiful and will make many beautiful cards and scrapbook pages!!
I have been making mine online for a few years, but love all the new designs and techniques that are appearing, so I would love to experiment with making my own.
I love to make all my christmas cards a special touch to each for the person. It is away to say thinking of you at such a busy time of the year.
The Christmas cards I know will be going straight into the recycling bin after Christmas are bought, the ones that I know will be treasured and kept are home-made. I have an aunt who has kept every Christmas card I’ve made her since I started making cards 10+ years ago!
My christmas cards are both hand made and photo from walgreens of our 2019 vacation. I love this photoplay line!
wow thanks for the chance of winning this awesome giveaway – I always make my Christmas cards – love using glitter and sparkle on them:)
What a great giveaway! The gnomes are so cute.
I do a mix of both bought and handmade. I don’t mail out too many cards so I still have a few store bought ones leftover from before I started making my own. People who don’t send me back cards get the bought ones!
Looks like fun products to have. Thanks for the chance to win. All of my cards are hand made. It is a rarity to purchase a card anymore.
Yes, I am doing both handmade and store-bought cards this year.
What a wonderful and generous give-away! Happy holidays and I LOVE the new winter issue!
I do a combination of both.
Mostly handmade cards❤
homemade, but I only make for special people and family, mailing became to expensive for handmade cards – always charged me extra!
My cardsare homemade and I try to make them special for each person.
Love photoplay papers.
I love making Christmas cards. And those papers are just perfect I love the red and black together. Thanks for the chance to win
I make all my own Christmas cards and some for others to send. Each card I make inspires new ideas for more cards. So much fun
I always make 100% of my cards for any season or occasion. I just love seeing people’s faces of hearing their comments about my cards.
I do a little of both – I make my own invitations fir an annual trim the tree party and buy Christmas cards. I’m always frantic getting ready for the party and out of time to make more cards!
This year I will do both kinds of cards. I don’t have time to make all of them! (Wish I did though)
I hand make cards every year for all my friends and family. Each one is a little bit different. Coincidentally, I’m going red, white & black this year!! Love the Kringle & Co. line by Photo Play.
My Christmas cards are all handmade. I make them for my bowling league also, with a matching treat bag that contains a handmade ornament.
Both! I absolutely love this paper!!!
Looking forward to the lovely inspiration in this issue. Most of my Christmas cards are given as card sets to friends and relatives so they can distribute as they like. The holiday card kit looks interesting, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks to SCT and Photoplay for this fabulous prize package!
What a sweet cover for the winter issue! I like to make my Christmas cards, but sometimes I end up buying some because I ran out of time to make them all. 🙂 Thank you for the chance to win this awesome prize!
My Christmas Cards are both handmade and store bought.
This prize package is so sweet! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
What a lovely collection! My cards are all homemade, I hope it lets my recipients know how much I put into each card to let them know how special they are to me. <3
I am still planning on making my cards this year!! I better get busy!! I love, love the gnomes in this collection!!
I love to make cards, but usually make them for special family and friends, and mail regular cards for the rest. Just never seems to be enough time, and I never make them ahead it seems.
My cards are handmade for family and special friends. I know how much they appreciate my efforts and keep cards from year to yrear.
I send both, because I need so many cards I end up buying some too.
Wahoo! The red cover won!
Becky Moore’s collection is awesome, loving the gnomes & colors!
Can’t wait to get my newest issue. I love Photoplay collections. They are always so cute. I make some cards and buy some. This year I will probably be sending store bought as I’m having a problem with tendinitis in my wrist. Oh well, there’s always next year.
Our Christmas cards this year are designed and printed by my mom.
Normally I make my own, but this year for whatever reason I have only had time to make a few for special people and will have to buy some for the remainder. Although not sure they will arrive this side of Christmas. Oh well it’s the thought that counts right!
Most of my cards are handmade, but I do send a few store-bought. I LOVE this Photo Play set and the cards made with it, especially the peppermint candy card, so sweet!
My Christmas cards are all hand made. I actually made TOO MANY this year. I start in the summer to make sure I have time.
This prize pack is wonderful. Thank you for the chance…..
I make all of my Christmas cards and spend most of November and December doing so. It’s so fulfilling to give someone a card or gift that’s hand made and just really warms my heart seeing how much people appreciate something hand made with love.
My Christmas cards are all handmade!
I’ve been making my Christmas cards for over ten years now. I feel like it’s sending a bit of me to warm the hearts of those I love most! Thanks the chance to win such an awesome prize!!
The cover looks great! Can’t wait to read the entire issue! I’ve been wanting the PP collection…wink, wink
Oh…and I always send out photo xmas cards!
Cards are store bought but I do make a Christmas album which will be much larger this year because of the 21/2 year old and 8 month old grandchildren! Such a fun collection! Thank you for the opportunity!
Handmade all the way! That paper is gorgeous!
I am buying Christmas cards this year
I’m just learning how to do cards. I’ve been a long time traditional scrapbooker and absolutely LOVE Photoplay!!!
Definitely handmade! I also make cards for seniors in nursing homes. I find it so rewarding to bring joy to others through my handmade cards! Your new issue looks amazing and I’m loving your giveaway – thank you, Photo Play!
I love making homemade Christmas cards and this paper set would be super helpful ;)..Thanks so much for making awesome papers !! Love them all….
My Christmas cards are always handmade–I make 80 if over the top design. I keep one each year and intend to put together a scrapbook with all the cards and family news letters. This year’s theme is the nativity, it has stamping and embossing, copic coloring with a night sky ink blended background. I was going to “stop” a few years ago, but had some protests from my aunts’ who told me they display and save the cards I make for them.
ALWAYS homemade. Comes from my heart every year 🙂
Handmade for me.
I love make handmade Christmas cards
All my cards are handmade for Christmas and any time I need a card as handmade cards are fun to make and my family loves them
I love to make Christmas cards! ( My husband insists on photo cards still when my kids are now 25 & 21) So, I do both by sending the photo cards to family and then make cards for all my friends. I would love to have a chance to win the Kringle & Co collection.
It’s so cute! I love the gnomes and the colors.
My cards are all handmade…and never duplicated, unless it’s a set (notecards, thank you).
Love the Kringle and Co. collection, one of my faves this season! My Christmas cards are all handmade.
I do both. If things didn’t get so busy at Christmastime, I would make all of my Christmas cards. I am somewhat obsessed with gnomes this holiday season and the Kringle & Co. collection is so stinkin’ cute! ♥
Love the inspiration this magazine and blog offers Botha is for a chance to wini a fun collection
Lol. I don’t know where my head was when I typed this.
Love this collection! Merry Christmas SCT!
My Holiday cards are handmade……started in October as I make my son’s xmas cards also.
I make my cards but always have a small box of bought cards on hand for ‘just in case’ situations. I love the Gnomes this year and have even bought hand made gnome ornaments for the tree and as gifts. This collection would be a sweet addition to my collection. Thank you both for the chance to win.
I make all my Christmas cards by myself ! It’s so fun to make !! And I absolutely love those papers 😍
Hand-made cards only! I am so happy you went with the red cover for this issue, so festive!!
I love making my own holiday cards but I will buy them if I’m crunched for time so I do both!
Both, for extended family they get store bought for close family I make home made. Love this kit.its been on my wish list
I always make my own cards. I am making some gnome cards right now. Would love to win this collection as I have been drooling over it, the colours are amazing. Thanks for the chance to win!
I always order photo cards…but would love to use this collection in my scrapbooking!
I need to renew my subscription! Love your magazine. And I love the plaid theme in the Photo Play Christmas line. I’ve not been a fan of plaid before, but I am loving this red and black plaid. Gorgeous!!
What a super cute and festive collection! I make all of my Christmas cards. I like to make each one unique and typically make around 100.
I make about 100 Christmas cards every year. No boxes ones for me. That Kringle & Co paper is just brilliantly done!!
We have a little of both. We do a photo card every other year and mix in some homemade cards on the opposite years. I send out 250 cards each years so I pick and choice the recipients of the homemade cards.
I love cards but hate giving them away after I put in all the hard work. Usually I do photo cards for the holidays.
I hand-make my holiday cards, however, this year I am way behind so some people might get store bought ones if I run out of time (or just not get any, at the rate I’m going). That Kringle & Co. collection is super cute!
I make my own and some to gift.
I don’t send out many cards, but those I do are hand made.
If I have time, I will make them myself otherwise I usually use Shutterfly.
I do both, depending on how many I send out.
I have bought cards and handmade. I have a hard time giving my cards away……
Handmade .i love receiving hand made also
I do both. Some people like handmade, others don’t.
My cards are store bought as I am still learning the cardmaking process. Hope to b able to make them next year. I love the color combination of this collection.
I have been making my own Christmas cards every year for the past six or more years. I just love making them. This prize would be amazing to win!!!
Mine are all handmade
WOW is all I can say about this collection! Its been a while since I have purchased any holiday paper or collection but I would definitely buy this – but what fun to win it! Love the gnomes! I definitely make all my cards – can’t remember the last time I purchased a greeting card for any occasion!! Thanks SCT and PhotoPlay Paper!
I usually handmake all my cards for any occasion. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome collection from Photoplay.

Love this paper!
My cards are all handmade! (Haven’t actually sent any of them yet–oops!)
I loved this Photo Play collection when I saw it earlier this week – modern and yet old-fashioned at the same time! I make all of my own Christmas cards. This year my theme is Peace, and no two are exactly alike.
What great color combination! So right for this year’s star – the gnome! I’d love to make cards with this! Thanks for the chance.
I love everything red white and black. This is an amazing collection for family moments

I love this collection! Especially the gnomes!

I have very rarely sent or given cards. This year I am making all my cards to give to family and friends, love the new magazine
Love the gnomes. Beautiful cards and Scrapbook pages.
Thanks for the chance.
My holiday cards are homemade but I only send out to a select few each year. I get a kick out of surprising each person with their personal, one of a kind card.
I’m making my own cards this year. Can’t wait to read this issue! Thank you 🙂
My Christmas Cards are all handmade. My problem is that I still haven’t gotten any signed and in the mail. I did send like 500+ cards to the Cards for Soldiers. I love sharing my cards with others. Thank you so much for the chance to win this fabulous collection. It would be so much fun to make cards with all of this.
This is such an incredible collection! I love it all. I make my Christmas cards every year, about 125 of them. It just makes them more special and personal.
I always send handmade cards to family in the UK. This collection is one of my all time faves – I seem to have a gnome obsession! Lol! Thanks for the inspiration, a wonderful magazine and the chance to win. Happy holidays x

Attempting to make them for the first time ever! Im learning that they will never be perfect but it feels good to put in the effort for my friends and family!
Oh how I wish I had time to make them myself!!! But, unfortunately they are store bought.
I do a mix of handmade and storebought – not everyone appreciates handmade, but I have certain people I always send handmade to.
Oh I love this collection….and it’s hard to find.So thanks for the opportunity to win it all. Love your magazine! And yes, I handmake all my Christmas cards…
For holiday cards, I mostly recycle cards that I have received from last year (and ones that my friends and family save for me). So, you could say I do both. I love this paper collection!

Scrapper. Bought cards here.
This year they will be handmade cards!
I enjoy creating Christmas cards. It relaxes me. I do both. Store bought for the ones I believe that doesn’t keep Christmas cards and hand made ones are mailed out to the ones I know they will cherish.

All my cards were homemade this year! I took a couple Christmas in July Christmas card classes and that was a big help this year! All my cards were done and I wasn’t scrambling at the last minute. Shocking I was actually organized this year! Lol
Both. Made some and then did photo cards too. Amazing collection! Thank you.
Love the new issue! My Christmas cards are all handmade this year!
Awesome giveaway! I’m getting back into scrapbooking and found your magazine from CZDesigns IG account.
I buy store cards and add some sparkle!
I do a little of both. For those I know will appreciate the time put into a handmade card, they get a handmade one. I start with those. If I have the time I will do more for others. Otherwise the others get store bought cards. This Photoplay collection looks like it would create some amazing cards and layouts. ❤️

Ours are store bought but I’d love to try making our own one year. Thanks for the adorable giveaway!
Such a beautiful collection, would love to make cards with it.
Only homemade. I spend a lot on supplies and need to use them.

Love this line by Photoplay-I’m gonna go tell them how awesome they are right now!
My cards are all handmade this year 😊

Love the paper – thank you both
My cards are all handmade and friends and family tell me all year how they look forward to getting them! Makes me feel good about the time and effort I put into them! This is a great collection!
All hand made, for the last couple of years. I find it relaxing, still enjoying it. Happy Holidays to everyone. Thanks.
I actually don’t do many cards anymore. The few I do are usually handmade but sometimes I just run out of time and store bought they are. This collection would be beautiful for either cards or layouts or a little of both! Thanks for the opportunity to win! Just received my copy of the magazine and am savouring it page by page!❤️
I do both handmade and store bought cards..
Absolutely LOVE this collection!!!
This is the first year that I have made all of our Christmas cards. I am legally blind, as I have tunnel vision, but I am blessed enough that I can see my fingertips, and boy I keep them busy! Mostly, I love to create wrapping paper, using stamps, and kraft paper, and have done it long before it was trendy. I am a giver, so I love pretty presentations. This Kris Kringle collection has by far been my favorite. There is something about the red, white, and black, and of course the various gnome motifs and coordinates. I have stashed away as much as I could this year, because well we know that next year it will be all new collections. For now, I’m in gnome heaven! 🙂
Both…handmade and purchased. Merry Christmas 🎄
Oooooo this is fabulous! I LOVE IT! I make Handmade cards for Christmas!
I do both, handmade for those closest to me and store bought for those that are not.
Got my happy mail & Winter SCT yesterday. It’s already covered in post it notes with creative ideas 🙂 Love love love making cards, it’s my “crafting therapy”. The Winter issue is beautiful and loaded with so much inspiration and talent. Merry Christmas to the SCT Team <3
I wish I had more time to make handmade cards but I send both. Thank you so much for all of your magazine issues. So much inspiration.
I do mostly handmade cards will purchase a couple of store-bought.
This collection is absolutely adorable, I just love the color combinations. This would be such a great enhancement to my holiday layouts, cards, papercrafts, etc. And, bravo on the latest edition of SCT, I cannot wait for it to arrive!
I do both because I usually run out of time
Absolutely beautiful. Would love to share these with my card making friends.
So excited for the new issue! I pour over it and pack it when I go to crops.
I mainly make my own cards but do mix in a few bought cards.
Love the cards. This giveaway is amazing. What a great company. Their products make such nice cards. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful cover! Love the red! And what a great collection as a giveaway! I buy cards and customize them. Toying with the idea of making some for next year, might have to start now!
I do handmade cards. I used to do a lot of stamping and die cutting. But this year I challenged myself to use scrapbooking supplies for my holiday cards only. I did a lot of backing cut files and stitching on paper for my cards.
I do both. I make special handmade cards for family and long time friends, and close neighbors. I use very limited purchased box cards, which I usually try to add additional embellishments.

All my cards, for any occasion, are handmade. Whether they be for Christmas, sympathy or one of my children’s friends for their birthday. I have a passion for paper and colouring and I find making cards a great stress relief and break from being a high school teacher.
Love to make and receive handmade cards.
Always hand made
All of my cards are handmade and that’s the favorite part of Christmas for me. LOVE this fun collection with the gnomes and all that red, white and black. Especially liking the plaid!

Always homemade! One of my favourite Christmas tradition is getting together with one of my best friend’s and making our Christmas cards!!

On my wow, I LOVE this Photo Play collection and would love to get my hands on it (I have been coveted all the social media posts with this line) and cannot wait for the new issue to show up on my door step! I am not a card maker but for Christmas I do make my own tags for presents!
I used to make cards, but don’t even send them out anymore. If I did, this line would be adorable!
OMG this is my favourite Photo Play Paper collection (to date). I have just used virtually every inch of my collection pack making the slider cards for my group of craft ladies. They loved them. Now I just need to get my hands on more so I can make something for myself.
I usually do a combination of both but handmake all of my gift tags.
Always handmade!!!😉
We always send a family letter and picture. If they don’t like Christmas letters they don’t have to read it but it gives us a mini family history.
Love the red cover!! Congrats on a fabulous issue (as always😉)
I absolutely hand make all my Christmas cards! Plus more to sell at craft fairs and for clients. You might say I’m a hand made card shop! 😂😂
Such fun paper for holiday cards!
I make all my cards, it’s my favorite way to spend my free time😁
I am currently making christmas cards with this paper! Love it!
I am working on about 50
handmade cards this weekend!! Would love to to win this gorgeous set!!!
I give both types of cards. Some people would turn up their nose at a homemade card… so mass produced it is!
However many people on my list, love the handmade cards!
Handmade. I have a family member that saves them and frames them.
I love this paper. My cards are always handmade
Handmade. I love making them.
I seem to do a combination of handmade and store bought cards. I think it mostly depends on who I’m giving the card to and how much time I have. LOL Thank you for the chance to win!
Handmade cards for us … I confess, only one has been posted, the others are still being made … maybe I should start working on Happy New Year ones instead 🙂
Looking forward to being inspired by the new magazine and thankful for the chance to win this BOLD and CHEERY collection!
I make cards for those I know will keep them & appreciate them. For those that I know won’t do that, I buy them cards. (hey they’re still cute/pretty cards either way!)
I make all mine if I possibly can – around 70! Love the magazine and having my own hard copy! This collection is fabulous too!
I usually make my Christmas cards every year but since I’ve been in school for my Bachelors degree I haven’t had the time to and it makes me so sad! I absolutely love this set by Photo Play Paper! So great!
My cards are handmade. This collection is adorable. The card examples lovely. Rhanks for a chance to win! Happy holidays
My cards are both handmade and store bought.
I am probably 50/50 handmade or store bought. Would love to win this paper. It will go great for my Disneyland trip in a few days. Thanks for the chance to win it. I spent a fortune in your booth at the last convention l I went to
This year both, because unfortunately I don’t have all the time that I had before having a baby.
I have a few made but it’s remembering to get them sent out. I will probably just give these to a few close family members.
My cards are homemade. I have a large collection of Christmas stamps and dies and cannot justify buying cards.
Love the homemade cards!! I treasure the ones I receive because I know the time and work that goes into each one.
All my cards are homemade. Love Kringle & Co paper line and appreciate the chance to win it.
I can’t wait to get my copy in the mail! I usually order photo cards online because we send over 200, and I just can’t drum up the time to make that many each year. I still make some Christmas cards, though! The papers and products are too fun not to play with each year! I just don’t typically mail those.
I have a small holiday card list, so mine are handmade. Thanks for the amazing issue!
Yes, my cards are homemade! This year there are many many steps for each…I designed poorly for mass production 😉
LOVE this collection!
I make my cards and really enjoy the time spent in the creative process!
Happy Holidays!
I have photo cards made.
Handmade of course!
Most years I hand make my cards but there have been a couple of years that things got too hectic and time ran out so I sent store bought. Making cards relaxes me so at Christmas it is my special downtime. Did I mention I am crazy about Gnomes so this prize would be amazing!
Since starting card making a few years ago, it handmade for my friends and family. This prize would be gorgeous to send them!
I’ve been making my holiday cards the last few years. I love this color combination!!
This collection makes me so happy because it has gnomes!!
I do both handmade and store bought. To make time to do handmade ones, I sign up for classes with my friends from amazing teachers! 🙂
I make my cards, and this year they are all different, so far. I still have many to go!!!
My daughter & I make cards constantly!! This year we actually purchased the Kringle & Co. card kit to get us started and we ended up getting so many extras out of it! Absolutely LOVE the whole collection!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
This line is amazing.
I like to make And send homemade Christmas cards, if I run out of time I will send store bought.

Such a sweet giveaway! 😊 For the holidays, I usually do a little of both. 😊💙
All of our cards are handmade. My sister wouldn’t let me do anything otherwise. Store bought cards are taboo in our house.
Our family loves the yearly tradition of having my husband remotely take our family pic and then we make our own Christmas cards with that photo and have them printed out! This addition would be great to have to do that with! Thank you so much for the chance to win! How generous 💜
Merry Christmas 🎄
The Paper colors are great, this year I have started creating my own cards, due to many inspirations from other craft makers.

My Christmas cards are all homemade. I love to take the extra time to make a personal card for each person on my Christmas mailing list.
I do a combination of both.
I do both, depending on the year. Our Christmas letter seems to be a bi-annual letter rather than a yearly one. I’m thinking this year it’s going to be purchased cards as school doesn’t get out until a few days before Christmas. But I do have supplies for handmade!
Thank you for a chance to win this.
I always handmake my cards. Some years they are better than others, but handmade cards are a gift to my recipients. Thanks for the opportunity to win a great prize!
I usually do one or the other. It all depends on how busy the season is for me. There is something special about making and receiving a handmade card that can’t be replaced. I love the unusual color scheme of this paper pack!!!!
How cute is that gnome. I have been making cards for less than a year but have so enjoyed the journey into handmade cards. I am always looking for new inspiration and techniques. Thanks

My holiday cards are handmade.
Combination of purchased, handmade and electronic.
All handmade. I do a little bit at a time through the year. Most years there are no duplicates. Really love this paper too. I had a sample of it in a kit I got at the expo
Some of both. This year my grand plan to do all handmade has not panned out.
PS I love, love, love Photoplay (hint, hint)!
I always have the best intentions to make cards but end up purchasing. Someday!
I did homemade cards this year. Sometimes I do store bought, but I prefer to do homemade ones. They are being mailed out tomorrow!

I love this collection. I sure could make many beautiful cards with it.

ALWAYS handmade! I love the gnomes!!

Well I don’t send cards but if I did I’d probably make them
In the past my cards have been store bought. This past year though I have really tried making much more professional scrapbook pages and began card making. A few friends really make some beautiful cards. I just love the set by Kringle & Co. I am so glad to have found you!
I send out store bought cards… 🙁
This is my second year of making ALL my Christmas cards! It’s been fun and relaxing!

All my cards are hand made and usually personalized in some way! I love my SCT monthly bits to use. They add great details to my creations.
My cards are definitely handmade – with some pre-made embellishments!
My Christmas cards are handmade, they have been for many years. this year I find myself only half done grr. But Love SCT for all your inspiration throughout the year
I hope I am not too late for this – I do both – I try to make as many handmade tags and cards as possible, and often will host a swap with other makers to share and have a variety of tags and cards. But if I see an adorable store bought card or set that I love, I will buy and use them also – and/or use them for future inspiration!
Probably too late for the giveway, but I”ll play along anyway. I only give handmade Christmas cards……I feel like I giving a piece of myself to those I care about 🙂 Hugs….Janie
My cards are both, because I prefer to scrapbook. 🙂
Love to make cards and tag, any papercrafts
That is all very cute stuff! Oh my! Somebody’s going to be very happy! Thank you for the opportunity to enter to win. Very generous of you to do these prizes!
