Hello friends! Can you believe Christmas is less than a month away? Yikes! I’m not even close to being ready. But I do have my tree up and a ton of Christmas cards finished.
I try to have at least 300 Christmas cards every year. I will donate about half of the cards. The rest will be sent to friends and family. I prefer to give out Christian themed Christmas cards for my personal cards so I was excited to see Bella Blvd’s Let Us Adore Him collection. They only sell the 12×12 size, but it still works just fine for cards. I bought multiples of several of the designs and also both of the coordinating ephemera packs. I did purchase the coordinating Bella Pops, but I decided not to use them on my cards. Maybe I’ll figure out a fun decor so I can enjoy them every year at Christmastime.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All of my cards are A2 size. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Bella Blvd’s Let Us Adore Him paper collection.

Wonderful collection of cards, Kristie. I like the Christian theme that feels a little more festive. The papers and ephemera have a happy vibe to them that I appreciate. The sketches you chose highlight the pretty papers. You have a good eye for that. Thanks so much for sharing. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into making and sharing your cards.
