Before You Know It, It'll Be Labor Day...

...and that means papercrafters nationwide are shrieking, "OMG!!! I haven't started my Christmas cards!!!!"

The best time to start making handmade holiday cards is, of course, six months sooner than you actually start. But, we late-to-the-party crafters can comfort ourselves that at least we have company. LOTS of company.

So, in the quest to provide a bit of relief, I'm offering some quick-to-finish card ideas for wishing a Merry Christmas to your family and friends! Just add adhesive and BAM! you're jingling all the way!

First up: Reindeer Roundup!

I used cutting files from Silhouette America and files I created from free clip art to create these quick cards. Kraft and white card bases are covered with diecut panels and deer silhouettes. Some Shimmer Trim from Close To My Heart, a little bling and a simple stamped banner completes them.  My favorites are the ones with the birch trees, but I love them all!
