Today we thought we'd share some last minute inspiration for those of you in panic mode because you've yet to make your holiday cards to give to family and friends tomorrow.
These gorgeous cards come to us from Nina B. She uses some of our non Christmas paper collections to make three very elegant and classy cards.
Sometimes the most amazing little treasures are packing in tiny little packages.
This adorable little DIY tree vignette was tucked inside a Christmas ornament. I can just imagine how cool it would be to open the ornamnet up and discover this winter scene. Today's project comes to us from Jana Korečič who is one talented paper crafter.
Our first Christmas card comes to us from friend of Melissa Frances Mona Pendleton. She uses last year's Deck the Halls collection in combination with some My Favorite Things rubber stamps to make this sweet card.
Our second card comes to us from Patty Ann O'Malley and features the Melissa Frances holiday collection from several years ago - maybe about 5 years ago or so? And did you notice how she tied one of our Reproduction Chenille Candy Canes into the bow on the left side of the card?
Our third card comes to us from Nicola who used our current holiday collection, Countdown to Christmas to make this fun pop up card. Truly, this thing is amazing. Please visit her blog for some additional photos.
Today's gorgeous snow globe project comes to us from Russian designer Ekaterina Kozyaeva.
It has such a magical feel to it, and would look wonderful as a table top decoration.
Thank you for sharing your creativity with us Ekaterina Kozyaeva.
Create unique snow globe ornaments with vintage nostalgic scenes with
just a few basic supplies. Melissa shows you how to take this darling
ornaments from box to tree.

This darling holiday card featuring last year's Deck the Halls Christmas collection was sent to us from blog reader Fran Westmoreland.
We especially love her use of our Cream and White Tissue Paper Garland (GN466) as a border along the left side of the card.
Thanks for sharing with us Fran!
Design team member Anne Kristen shares this creative way to package up some goodies for a friend. Using our Countdown to Christmas 6x6 paper pad she designed this cute presentation envelope. She says:
"I love to add some little secrets in my projects ... like this card ...I made an extra pocket inside the card to add some candy for my dear friend. "
Thanks Anne.
