It's been 6 years since I last made and mailed my own Christmas cards. Oh deer, indeed. All it took to break that dreary streak was a Christmas collection featuring a cat carrying presents and a deer with a red bow around its neck.

It just so happens that about 100 Spectrum Noir markers made their way into my house recently and were begging to be used. I felt that this was the correct time for their inauguration.

Pinkfresh Studio is responsible for this sweet set of woodland friends. Their Christmas collection includes these frames which are part of a die cut pack, as well as a paper collection which is my favourite ever.

The Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit includes matching cardstock.

As well as some sticky sequins in matching colours.

I embellished this tree stamp from the kit with some older stamps from my collection.

I think it may be hard to tell from this picture, but I even broke open my unused containers of flock to create the snow on this card. A little inspiration can crack the seals of unused supplies pretty quickly.

There are some nice puffy stickers to use too, like these stars.

I'm 100% sure that I'll be making more cards with these supplies. I'm not even close to the bottom of my card list yet!
