Such gorgeous cards here from Kim, but these Magnolia stamps are also just amazing and so is their other products too.
ReplyDeleteMy favorit tradition is definitely, that we every year all the entire family get together for a whole week-end and first we all take a trip to the forrest to collect materials for the decorations and when we get back we all have hot chocolate and warm buns, and the next day we all make all the cookies and the confect together, and that week-end is always so much fun, cause we´re all together on it no matter what age, so we´re all represented from the age of 3 to 60 y. o. and it´s so much fun.
Such a beautiful card...love those Magnolia stamps....simply amazing!!
ReplyDeleteDecorating the house is my fave! Thanks for the chance! Ger x.
ReplyDeleteFabulous creation. I love Magnolia stamps they all are just so adorable. But anyway my answer for the question is that I love to buy presents. Just not any present but special present. I may walk in the shop several times and not find the peresent but when I see, something inside me says that´s it, that´s the right one. So I love this feeling when I know that the present is something special to my dear one
ReplyDeleteWow! The details on these are amazing. I really like the insides of the cards. It would be like getting 3 cards in 1. Our family is kind of strung out, some still working, some retired, some with children still in school. Our holiday traditions have changed over the years and evolved to where we celebrate the majority of our holidays over Thanksgiving. With part of the family working in retail, there isn't much time (nor energy) between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Travel becomes more if-fy after Thanksgiving, too, in our area. We take a poll every year. Those not hosting provide the food or make the reservations to go out for a holiday meal. Just being together is our priority. The food has taken on lesser importance than it once did. Having one goal (being together) relieves a lot of the holiday pressure.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous cards!
ReplyDeleteOur favorite tradition for any holiday includes lots and lots of food and hopefully as many of us that can be together to share it.
On of the funniest traditions is my son get a subway sandwich in his stocking every Christmas eve.
ReplyDeleteJust beautifully done. Our favourite holiday tradition is the tree trimming... we all take turns at putting up an ornament, every year I buy one new one..
ReplyDeleteThese cards really make me feel Christmas. Paper with holly and notes is stunning!
ReplyDeleteWow - such attention to the inside of the cards. That's special.
ReplyDeleteOur family tradition is to go cut our tree the second Sunday in Advent.
Beautiful cards. Our holiday tradition is eating goose and have a beautiful day with family.

Very beautiful cards - love all the little details.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite time is family decorating the christmas tree together with everyone ending up covered in sparkle! Then the draw to decide who gets to place the angel at top of tree. Nicola x
beautiful cards!!!! My favourite tradition is making the Christmas cards for family and friends.
ReplyDeleteThe new Christmas collection from Magnolia is so cute! I really love the time before Christmas with preparations, secretive actions and anticipation... It makes me feel like a little girl every year! But I think my favorite holiday tradition is when the whole family (aunts, uncles and cousins) meet at the churchyard and light candles on my grandparents graves. It feels good to have a quiet moment together, remembering those who are no longer with us, but still remains in our hearts. In this way, we also get the chance to wish each other a merry Christmas before we go home to celebrate. :-)
ReplyDeleteStunning cards and i just adore all the new Maggie stamps!!
ReplyDeleteI love having dinner each night by the light of our Advent wreath.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Love how pretty the insides are. My favorite holiday tradition is doing advent with my daughters. Great way to focus ourselves at the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards by Kim!!! My favorite tradition is decorating the tree with my son. I always get a new ornament, whether it be handmade or store bought.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday tradition is decorating the Christmas tree with my daughters. My hubby puts the tree up and then the girls and I decorate it. We put on Christmas music and go to town.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! Favorite tradition~we open up our letters that were written, folded and packed away with the decorations. These are letters we wrote that were not revealed to anyone else. It gives us something to look forward to when we put away the decor, and when we bring it out again. Usually the theme is "how was your year?". My kids love it!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards and I like the insides too! Favorite holiday tradition is a birthday party for Jesus before we so to Christmas Eve service.

Wow! The insides are as beautiful as the outsides!
ReplyDeleteFavorite holiday tradition: Getting the ornaments out and sharing the memories they represent. (Each year my kids receive/make a new ornament that reminds them of something that happened that year.) It's always fun to reminisce about the good and to see all of that represented on our tree.
An adorable image!

ReplyDeleteChristmas stockings. With my grown kids I got creative a couple of years ago and put things in other packaging instead of stockings. my youngest got up and said where's my stocking.

ReplyDeleteChristmas stockings are one of my favorite traditions. I love buying inexpensive little gifts, wrapping them and putting them in a stocking.

ReplyDeleteDoohickeys are just the cutest dies! My favorite tradition is how DH and I spend christmas all by ourselves, we have lovely romantic holidays :)
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! Traditions... unfortunately we haven't had many since we've been on the road the last 5 Christmases. I'm hoping this year, our 5yr old's first at home, will start some new ones, even if it's as simple as cookies and milk for Santa.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely cards. A favorite Christmas tradition from my past was hanging our stockings and waking up early on Christmas to find out what Santa had left in them.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards! I love going to cut down my parents Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteOur favorite holiday tradition is to sit together and choose a "Type of Christ" or symbol and find the scriptural references each day for the whole month of December--it helps us remember why we are celebrating Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what gorgeous cards! Love that the inside is just as gorgeous as the outside!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card - love magnolia stamps!

Beautiful card, My favorite tradition is finding the right tree.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday tradition is cooking with my kids for our entire family to come over and eat. It's fun to hear what smells they associate with the holidays.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday tradition is having our pictures taken for Xmas, either at the mall or the office party! The kids love it!
ReplyDeleteWe don't really have any "traditions" now that the kids are grown and gone, but I love to invite someone to dinner who would otherwise be alone for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tradition is all the fabulous food we all put out for Xmas Eve. Everyone makes something and we munch all eve long!
ReplyDeleteSuch delectable cards! And as for Christmas traditions... where to start - the whole thing's built on them round our way. Probably my favourite is that stockings have to be opened on my mother's bed - everyone piles on... me and my brother (still), his wife, and their two children... and that keeps us going til proper presents which have to wait til it gets dark, so that it can be by candlelight!
ReplyDeleteAlison x

ReplyDeleteChristina P.

ReplyDeleteWow, such beautiful and detailed cards! I love the insides you created. My favorite holiday tradition, probably the different foods that we have. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKatie B.
Absolutely gorgeous cards! One of my favorite parts of Christmas is simply admiring the tree with it's odd assortment of ornaments that span many generations. We weren't able to have one up last year, so this year will be extra special for us. Thanks so much for the chance to win. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great cards, I love the white spaces with light pops of color. I've got some Thanksgiving projects to do before my Christmas cards. LOL There never seems to be enough crafting time. We got out for Chinese, it's a fun, no muss-no fuss meal. Thanks for chance for some fun products. May you all have enough crafting time to create the fun holiday projects on your list. ;)))
ReplyDeleteA holiday tradition of ours has been these advent boxes I put together that I put a small surprise or a voucher of some kind for things like an ice cream treat, a Christmas movie night, a new Christmas book. Kids love it!

ReplyDeleteMy favourite Holiday Tradition is spending the holidays with those that you love and inviting people who may be alone at Christmas to join your family for the day. You may never know how much this can mean to some people.
ReplyDeleteMaking holiday candy, it started with my mom and me, then my sisters in law were added, now its the best time of all, my nieces have joined it. They have started coming up with their own recipes and using them as gifts for friends. Its really wonderful time for all of us. Plus we get candy yum!
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas season really starts for me with the holiday baking. :) A Simon gift pack would be so awesome to win!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about Christmas but my favorite tradition by far is Christmas Eve. My whole family (all 25 of us) get together at the home of my youngest brother. It is the only time all year that we are all together. There is so much love & laughter in the room & all troubles are forgotten for a few short hours!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Renee
Beautiful cards! Absolutely beautiful! My favorite tradition is getting together w/family and watching the little ones open presents.
ReplyDeleteHoliday baking especially with old family recipes like my great-grandmother's shortbread! ;-)

ReplyDeleteLOVE Kim's cards. She puts lots of layers to add dimension to them. LOVE the stamps she used and her color schemes! (Thanks for a chance to win free stuff to feed my papercrafting addiction!)
ReplyDeleteGreat new Magnolia stamps! My favorite tradition is attending church on Christmas Eve. I never tire of singing "Silent Night" while the lights in the sanctuary are dimmed and everyone holds a candle.
ReplyDeleteCards are just darling! My favorite tradition is our Christmas party for our kids and grandkids on the weekend before Christmas! It extends the season and gives all the kids a chance to be together and then be home with their own family and tree on Christmas Day. We've been doing this for about 14 years and they all love it! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!!
