Chrismas Cards & blog candy

I think I have around 10 Christmas cards done so far, I know I am way behind but I have time.  This year, I don't think I'm going to mass produce cards this year, for a couple of reasons.  One, I have far too many cute holiday stamp sets to choose just one to use.  Two, I have found when I make more than 5 or 6 of the same card, by the time I get to #7, my mojo gets zapped and I start to not be excited about my Christmas cards.  So I am just going to make a couple here and there and use all of my favorite stamps.  For years I have made a prototype (which took forever!!) and then I would cut, stamp and assemble, this works fantastic for most crafters, but this year, I just can't commit to one card LOL.
Here are two I made over the weekend, both are really simple cards, but the one on the right I added ribbon and rhinestones.  After adding the embellishments I decided that it really looked fine without them, so I didn't add them on the second card.  I know thats a one postage stamp card, which is fabulous in my book.  Simple is perfect especially when you know the person you are sending it to, is most likely going to trash it after the holidays.  So I made 4 of them.
"Happy Holidays"
Here are a few more pictures of them
Everything used to make the Cards is from Flourishes llc, except the kraft and vintage cream cardstock
