This is what I love about this time of the year, seeing everyone's beautiful Christmas cards! This one is so cute! The little fawns look so happy, I just love them.
Thanks for sharing the ink blending. It is nice to know that the type of paper will change the blending expectations. I started practicing my blending on Neenah paper, and then decided to switch to a notebook, so I can keep better track of it. The first few pages were really different from what I was expecting. And awesome opening visual. :)
I'm so glad the series has begun. I love seeing your Christmas cards each year and thank you for taking the time to bless us with your creativity as you do.
Thanks Kristina! I love what you did to soften the stark white snowflakes. I had read them as "white" on the finished card. It's funny, they look more convincing as white snowflakes with the touch of blue.
Wonderful! I love when you use the Zig Clean Color or watercolors for coloring! Copics are awesome, but I it's refreshing to see other supplies that need less of a time and financial investment being used!!!
I love the vintage reindeer that have been out, this card is very sweet and I love it. I also like watching you watercolor. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🦌🖌 ❄ 💖💖💖
So adorable! Can't believe it's been 8 yrs already! Wow! Time flies by so fast! So excited for this year's series! Thank you for taking the time to do this for us! Hugs! Tina
It's so lovely to see you design your wonderful Christmas cards again, it wouldn't be Autumn without you! I love the reindeer, and can't wait to see the rest of your amazing designs. Thank you, Kristina.
I really love your idea of using the grey around the lettering. So simple yet so effective!!!! I love your 1st card of your holiday card series this year!!!! My favorite RUclips series every year!!!!
Hooray! *throws confetti* This is my favorite series ever! I look forward to it every year, and I watch the older ones on repeat while I make Xmas cards! LOVE THIS!
YES! I WAIT FOR THIS SERIES EVERY YEAR! Your first holiday series inspired me to do homemade holiday cards for the first time and I have been addicted to stamping and card making ever since. UGH. LOVE YOU. Ok. Bye.
I am so happy I stumbled across your 2016 Christmas card series. Loved watching you create this card with the ZigCCRBM's. I also love my set and am always pleasantly surprised at how well they work on Bristol paper. Thank you for taking the time and effort to help educate us cardmakers and papercrafters. I will be watching each video many times over. Wonderful resource.
Hooray!!! I can't believe it's already time for the Holiday Card Series!! But I'm very excited. Your card is adorable. And you're not alone, I have the same snowflake addiction that you do. They're so beautiful. I can't get enough of them. Can't wait to see the new ones you designed!! Looking forward to the rest of the series. TFS, Heather
Yay!!! My kids and I have been waiting to see what creativity you share for the holidays this year! Thanks so much for making these videos and congratulations on 8 years of making the Holiday Card Series!
Hi, do you think it would work OK if I cut out the reindeer and glued them on instead of creating a mask? Love your videos, you have been so inspiring and helpful to me! Thank You!❤️
YAY for your new Holiday card season! The first card is so adorable!! I still have new in the package deer stamps and snowflake dies from last year lol- now i can't wait to get them inky and give this blending technique a try! Thank you for all your inspiration & amazing videos -i so love watching & learning. can't wait for more!
Love it! I need to get started on my cards too - great timing! I can't wait to see what you create for this series and am looking forward to your designs for Simon Says Stamp!
Oh my gosh I'm so excited to see that your Christmas series was finally here! When I needed some card inspiration and went to RUclips I came across your Christmas Series and had to go back and watch all of your Christmas card series and have been hooked ever since!
Hi Kristina....very excited that the season has begun for the card series. The markers are wonderful and thank you for explaining why you selected what you did for the reindeer. This card is adorable.
YEAH! I am so glad your doing this again this year. It is what got me into card maiking and I look forward to it every year. BTW your card would also fit in a #10 business envelope without cutting it down.
it's one of the loveliest Christmas cards ever! thank you but it's so frustrating because I don't get any of the card supplies where I stay..so I try and draw them out instead of stamping and then colour the rest but the finished products aren't as good, naturally. but I do enjoy ur ideas!!
Such a cute card Kristina. This is my favorite series. I have followed every year and you always manage to come up with fresh ideas. So much talent! Thanks for sharing it with all of us.
You are AMAZING! I LOVE that I learn something NEW every time you make a video, and I feel justified when I head out to the craft store to buy new supplies. Thank you and I'm so excited that you Holiday Series has begun!😬
I am so excited your holiday card series has started! I love this series; I love the cards you create; I love Christmas cards. Thanks so much for the detailed explanations of what you are doing. I have learned SO MUCH from you : )
Yeahhh it is also mine 8th year of your christmas card series... Thank you so much for your inspiration Kristina. Hugs and greetings from Germany, Heike
When I saw the RUclips notification for the holiday Card series, I was overjoyed that this had started for the year. I started following you in 2015 but I have gone back and watched many series from years past. Thank you for such great cards and videos!! So inspiring!
Can you use watercolor paper to make the holiday cards and do you have to use Zig markers or can you use big brush markers (I think that's what they are called)
Kristina I am so excited that the time has come for the Holiday card series to start again. I a have enjoyed watching the previous series. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Katzbaugh
Wow!! It really shows how much you put into this 25 holidays card series for all of us!!! The intro is so perfect. Thank you so much and it's right on time so we can get our holiday cards done on time :) I love this series and your card!!!
Such a cute card! :) Love those deer! Hahhahaaa! I feel you on the snow flake issue! :) I LOVE snow flakes too and have a bunch of them! Recently started to order some stuff from SSS and in my first happy mail I've ordered one of your snow flake dies you named after your nieces (I'm pretty sure but my apologies if I'm wrong....)! Love it! I've been waiting for the holiday card series all year! It was your series from 2014 that developed me as a crafter and the reason that I found you and the other amazing crafters here on YT! Thanks a bunch! :) Hugs from Sweden!
Thanks so much Kristina! I love, love, love your videos! I'm in awe of all your cards! My favorite time of year is the Christmas season and your cards really gets me into the holiday season mode!!!
Yay.... Your holiday card series is my favorite time! I enjoy your videos and always find inspiration in your amazing work. This card is beautiful... the Reindeers are so adorable. Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful surprise - opened RUclips and found your holiday card series beginning. I love the reindeer card so beautiful. Looking forward again this year!! Thanks for sharing your talents.
I noticed you using your heat tool directed behind the card as well as directly on the embossed areas...do you recommend doing this when embossing? Great video, thanks for sharing!
Very cute card! Nice masking technique! We really like that you've done a long card; it's great for reindeer. We now must show our geek side; snowflakes only have 6 sides.
YYYEEEAAAHHH!!! It is finally here! I am so excited to watch your videos anytime, but I especially love this series with you every year! In advance, I want to thank you for all of your hard work and devotion to this series. You are an amazing teacher! Happy Holidays!!!
Love the design & your coloring, Kristina! I think the shading around the greeting really adds a nice touch, too. When I was looking at the finished card, the "J" in jolly looks oddly like an "F"! 'Tis the Season to be Folly? LOL Thanks for sharing this, and I look forward to the future installments! :)
I love, love, love the Holiday Card Series, Kristina! I'm SO looking forward to seeing the whole series...you always do such awesome cards. Thanks for sharing your amazing creations! :)

Yay!!! My kids and I have been waiting to see what creativity you share for the holidays this year! Thanks so much for making these videos and congratulations on 8 years of making the Holiday Card Series!
Love your Holiday card series!! Been watching every year since you started. Your intro music is always so festive and really sets the mood.
Would you ever do a video showing off your craft room and how you have things stored?
Hi, do you think it would work OK if I cut out the reindeer and glued them on instead of creating a mask? Love your videos, you have been so inspiring and helpful to me! Thank You!❤️
Sure! Give it a try!
Thank you! Love this it looks sooo incredible!
How pretty. Love the masking technique. How did you ever fussy cut those reindeer around their heads? Kudos to you. Nice job.
What a pretty intro...I just love it! I look forward to this series every year and you never let us down!
Woohoo! Love this cute card. It makes me feel all happy inside. Thanks for the coloring blending tips with browns and greens.
I live your HCS!! So glad you start early enough to give us ideas for our own cards. Also love this year's intro. Cute card.

Card # 1 is awesome - how will you ever top it!! By the way I remember making that card from 2009 - still love that design.
I LOVE the holiday video series. I try to use several when making my cards. Thanks for starting early!
This card was especially well-executed. Loved all the steps, colors and masking layers. TFS!
Also, did you do your own animation for this intro? I love it!
Kristi Kortman I wish! No, I purchased it online and then modified and edited it for what I needed.
I love the Holiday Card Series! Every year gets better and better and this card is fabulous.
Oh my gosh I'm so excited to see that your Christmas series was finally here! When I needed some card inspiration and went to RUclips I came across your Christmas Series and had to go back and watch all of your Christmas card series and have been hooked ever since!

Lynn Atchley That was the original plan, but the spacing was weird. It looked better after I cut a few inches off the right end.
it's one of the loveliest Christmas cards ever! thank you but it's so frustrating because I don't get any of the card supplies where I stay..so I try and draw them out instead of stamping and then colour the rest but the finished products aren't as good, naturally. but I do enjoy ur ideas!!

First time for me watching your series, so looking forward to see what you are creating for the holidays!
Oh I love Christmas so much! I'm not much of a card maker but you make everything look so easy.
Can you use watercolor paper to make the holiday cards and do you have to use Zig markers or can you use big brush markers (I think that's what they are called)
You are just amazing! such an artist! Thank you for always sharing with us. Love how you give back what God has given you!
