Since my daughter was 6 we've went to the Nutcracker ballet... and we get real dressed up for the evening, have a nice dinner out at a restaurant and she gets a couple nutcrackers as gifts. Now at 23 we still do it but travel to other cities to see their ballet and she's amassed a collection of over 50 nutcrackers. We've probably been to seven other cities across the country just to see different companies rendition.
That sounds like an amazing tradition! How fun to travel all over to see the Nutcracker!
We do ornaments as well. Christmas Eve we have finger foods and do the sock exchange. Instead of buying presents, we bring a pair of socks and play a game. The reader reads a Christmas story and every time the reader says right or left, that is the way you pass the socks. When the reader finishes the story you get to keep the socks you have. They can be Christmas themed socks, silly socks, socks with wine bottles... usually there is always a pair or two that everyone wants. It makes the game more fun. We have the adults pass to adults and kids to kids, or the kids end up with socks to big.
How fun! We used that same poem except with an "adult" gift...which is what we called them to distinguish them from the kids gifts lol There was always that one person who just had to give something inappropriate!
You have asked about building Christmas memories. One I did for "ever" with my kids was, hot chocolate under the tree, they each chose an ornament that I told a story about. I just made up a story, they were not outstanding (!) however, both of my kids are grown and now share this same "memory" builder with their kids. We did it more than one night, say twice a week, it made bedtime special and the ornaments.
That sounds like a fun tradition, Jan! It's the little things with family that make the memories.
Can you do more of these? Showcasing ways to make cards with 12x12 paper pads? Thank you so much for sharing. Take care and God bless
I have a suggestion for your boys. There are many popsicle stick ornament videos on Pinterest & RUclips. They are glue together paint & embellish projects. I still have some ornaments my son made when he was young. A walnut skier. A faux stained glass nativity wall hanger, bead wreath & candy cane & a mini nativity glued onto a cardboard circle set on cotton inside a plastic hollow open front ornament. Their are treasures for sure.
Great idea Edith!
Thank you for such a great video. I need a lot of cards because I send them to seniors' homes and I am new at making cards and need all the help I can get!!! These are beautiful cards. Thank you so much.
Thank you Nicole! I love that you make cards for seniors; I"m sure it brightens their day!
I love these cards and papers. I went to Tuesday Morning last year and bought like 5 or 6 different discontinued Christmas pads that they get from the suppliers or other craft stores and I love to make Christmas cards with them. Christmas is my favorite time of the year and when I can get a good bargain on Christmas papers, I jump at it. TFS!
Gorgeous cards 🥰 I love the adorable images, the pattern papers and your layouts, our daughter and grandson makes ornaments every year for Christmas and gives some as gifts for us grandparents ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx
We do Christmas Eve boxes which is some hot chocolate new PJs and a book or movie
Great Christmas cards. Thanks Jenlee for the free sentiment sheets.
Great cards, especially if you have a lot of cards to send out. When I was young (in the 1950s) my mother made a big picture to hang on the living room wall. She got a roll of brown paper for the background and then she drew, painted, coloured with crayons, pencils, or whatever was available, plus she added things that were cut out from plain white paper, etc. As we got older, we contributed to the picture. It was a lot of fun and took several days to complete. Usually by the end of Christmas it wasn't worth keeping, but the memory is there.
Michael's Canada has the same paper packs at 2 for 1 ($11.99) for anyone who might be interested. I can't go to stores (extreme high risk) but thought I'd let others know.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have one of those paper packs, so I can easily make the cards I need. Thank you for so many great ideas!
Such great ideas, I love these cards, thanks so much for sharing and for the inspiration 😃
Great video!!!
This 2 papers are sitting on my desk for a while now, I will try to used them with your style 😎 👌
Double thanks . Love cards on a budget and very much appreciate the free printables. That will be well loved...

What lovely cards and you make it look so easy! I make my own cards and have for years, and it's great to see someone else's style - it's always helpful so I can try to keep my cards fresh. Thanks so much for the freebies! I'll be watching for your Christmas cards this year.

Thank you Nancy!
Just found your video on Christmas cards! It's 2022 now and I'm not thinking of making cards yet, but will soon. I do love the Michaels Hot Buy pads and try to get one or two every year for Christmas. I had a tradition when my 2 boys were small. Every Thanksgiving or Christmas we would do two things. First, we'd go and buy groceries for a nice holiday dinner, like meat, canned yams, spuds, cranberry sauce, etc. and take the full bag to the local fire station to give to needy families. The other thing we would do, would go to a gift tree somewhere in town, usually at a grocery store or big box store, that contained tags from different foster kids with a wish list, and we would pull 2 or 3 tags off and get one of the gifts they asked for, and go home, wrap it, and bring it back to put in the bin for them to be picked up. My kids still remember doing this, even now being in their 40's!
Love those traditions Marilyn! There is no better way to spread cheer than to help others!
Nice cards!
One year the presents were just a few per kid, so the presents were hidden and the first clue was the tree. The next clue was the present just found, etc. The kids loved it, and so do the grandkids.
Ohhh I love that! Sounds like a Christmas treasure hunt!
A new hobby to peruse.
I think these cards turned out absolutely beautiful! I love when you show how to use a 12x12 paper pad! I think its amazing how many cards you can get and your ideas are great! Thank you so much for sharing this with us and also thank you for the sentiments!!
Great video just found your channel and am making my Christmas cards now as I always seem rushed if I wait until November. I live in Canada and don't find that we get many good deals at Micheals here. I am currently working on the Micheals pads I have and now have more ideas from this video to use them up.
Do you have any videos on regular cards? I am trying to build up a stash of Birthday cards etc so I always have some ready to go. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Dorothy! I try and create a variety of cards on my channel, so I hope you find something else that you like too! You gave me an excellent idea for future videos tho, thank you!
This was so fun to watch. You made 10 cards in such a short time snd each card has its own design. Lovely! I would be interested in seeing how you cut up your 12x12 paper. You said you cut it in half. What measurements are you cutting the rest in order to get so many cards?
Hi Pamela! Thanks for stopping by and I'm happy that you enjoyed the video. If I recall, this paper was from a Michael's paper pack which comes with a lot of paper. I cut the 12x12 paper into four 6x6 squares. I do this because the size of card I make is usually 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and also because I can then store leftover paper in my 6x6 container. The only ones that I don't cut like that are the papers with big images and those I would fussy cut. I hope this helps!
What does the form at Walmart looks like? Thx
The card layouts are no where to be found using the link provided. Are you able to make it available again?
Hi Debbie, the link has been updated. Thanks!
Hi I am carol from England I am also new to your channel.
Thanks for joining me, I hope you enjoy the videos!
Hi. My family from grandkids to grand parents usually have a family photo. Also can you please tell me what type of foam you put behind your cutouts.
Hi Rita! Photo's are one of my favorite traditions....I love looking back and seeing how everyone has changed, especially the kids. They grow so fast! Most of the time I use the foam rolls from the .99 store...it comes on a roll of individual squares.
Take each boy to dollar store or any store and give them money for gifts for their brother to give ... from them.... teach them how to wrap it too maybe...lol or let hubby takes them for you to get u something from them.
What's the paper pad called?
I'm sorry I don't recall the name. It was a paper pad that was at Michael's last year.
I miss their hot buy paper pads.
I'm hoping that they will have some this year.
My crafty friend died she was good at card makeing.
Sorry to hear that Carol.
