Christmas Card Ideas: Stamping with Friends Doubles Ideas AND Resources!

November 27, 2021 by Angie 7 Comments

Here are some Christmas card ideas to help you get started. I suggest creating together with at least 1 other friend, possibly 2 or 12. Share resources (stamps, inks, papers, ribbons, etc.) as you chit-chat, and those ideas will just fly off your stamp pads!

Plus, it’s great fun to visit as you labor away on your cutting, coloring, and works of art.

Stumped? Just glance at what’s on the table or in the hands of your co-conspirators. Or scroll Pinterest or stamping-related websites. Stamping magazines are also full of completed cards for inspiration.

Stamp, cut, color, glue, and glitter. Add embellishments. Ta-dah!

Christmas greetings are ready to go.

The hardest part is trying to figure who gets which card. Or, in our case, how can we give up our FAVORITES? That is always a challenge.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas season!

P.S. Thanks for the inspiration, Alyson and Renee!

I live with my husband and crazy kitty. Much of my time is spent writing, reading, and playing with the grands. You can usually find me sipping tea or coffee, nibbling on dark chocolate, and contemplating what to plant next in the garden. If not those pursuits, then I am probably trying to figure out how to cook and live in an RV, creating cards with rubber stamps, walking, hiking, or out snapping photos with my camera.

Great ideas to get started Angie! Wow! Xmas is just around the corner. I prefer traditional Xmas cards to the virtual ones. I also collect stamps but they are hard to come upon these days. Happy creative journey to you.

  Thanks, Eleanor! Do you collect rubber stamps or the kind you put on postage? I have a bunch of the mailing type I really want to work into some cards sometime. I LOVE getting actual Christmas cards in the mail. 🙂

    I have old rubber stamps with animals. I also like to receive cards in the mail. I think that with all this tech kids and adults alike will forget how to write freehand.

    I know! My fifth grade granddaughter asked me to write something for her in cursive…I guess they don’t learn that anymore! Sad.

    It’s not right! If you want to learn the trade you must know the basics. The future of our little ones worry me.

I love making handmade cards. Virtual ones just don’t work for me.

  I agree! I started stamping (eek) decades ago with my college roomie. We can’t figure out exactly when, but definitely decades. We get together several times a year and combine our resources and create cards. ahhhh
