I love so many Christmas songs but I think my favorite is Silent Night. On Christmas Eve our church has a tradition at the end of the service of lighting everyone's candles then turning out the lights and singing Silent Night. Then we all file out of the church behind our pastor singing Joy to the World. After that Pastor says a blessing and we all extinguish our candles. It is beautiful and touching.
Silver Bells sung by Bob Hope. It reminds me of being at my grandmother’s house on Christmas Day for dinner. She always had the radio on an AM station that played all the classic carols and songs, and her house was always cozy and happy.
O Holy NIght....especially sung by Josh Groban transports me to another time and always causes tears. Silent Night sung in church on Christmas Eve completely does me in....still not sure why that is.
I really love your water coloring. This is a beautiful card! Oooh my favorite Christmas music is the entire Handel's Messiah. The Hallelujah Chorus gives me chills.
Love your card. Luciano Pavarotti singing ‘Oh holy night’ is my absolute favourite for Christmas - I think it is a beautiful carol and his voice is perfect
This card is gorgeous! My favorite Christmas song is ‘Grandma got run over by a reindeer’. I know that seems strange. I love most of the carols and hymn’s people, but that one just cracks me up!!! Lol 💚💕💚💕💚💕💚💕💚💕
“Silent Night Holy Night” because, when I was a little girl, my oldest brother gave my mother a crèche with a music box inside that played that song. Every December I set up the crèche and wound up the music box and played it over and over. I still have that crèche 60 years later even though the music box is pretty much worn out. A favorite Christmas memory.
What a lovely card Kristina!! Thank you and Dana for the Ink Colors Combo Guide 2021 as well!! One of my favorite Christmas songs is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Canon. It touches something in my soul and leaves me feeling peaceful.
This is so pretty. I think shades of blues with snowflakes and sentiment in silver would be pretty. My favorite Christmas songs are Silver Bells, Walking in a Winter Wonderland, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Too many to name…I LOVE Christmas!
Love the dip dye. And thanks for the early Christmas present 🎁. My favourite Christmas song is an old standby: God rest ye merry gentlemen. Love the harmony
White Christmas by Bing Crosby takes me back to my childhood. Also Mitch Millers Christmas album. My Mom always played both at Christmas.. Her favorite time of year, and mine! Thanks for another beautiful card Kristina!
I'm a huge fan of Christmas songs in a minor key: "What Child is This," "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," a French carol called "Noël Nouvelet" which I think is most commonly translated as "Sing We Now of Christmas." I even like the Coventry Carol which is the most depressing Christmas song ever. We have a big piano book of international Christmas carols, and one of my favorite things to do is to just sit down and play. If you're ever in the mood, there are some really cool Czech and Polish carols that definitely need more love. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
What a stunning card! I have three favourite Christmas songs: "Mary did you know?" Performed by Voctave and Mark Lowry , "Welcome to our world" by Amy Grant, and "I'll be home for Christmas" sang by Josh Groban, where all the deployed soldiers say they Christmas wishes from all over the world to their families. That one makes me cry over and over again.
And by far my favorite Christmas song is This Christmas by Donnie Hathaway. As soon as I hear that song I just automatically get in the Christmas spirit!! 🎄
I Love this technique. Thanks for sharing over all the years. I love to go back and watch previous holiday card videos. My favorite Christmas song is “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”. Happy Holidays.
Silent night. A bit traditional, but it brings back such wonderful memories from my childhood. Love the simplicity of this card…..off to get more gold embossing powder lol, a must have!
I am in complete LOVE with the Christmas albums by Pentatonix. Their version of "Mary, Did You Know?" brings tears to my eyes EVERY TIME!!! My all time favorite Christmas carol is "O Come, All Ye Faithful."
What a great technique! Thanks for demonstrating it for us. My favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night. It brings me to tears pretty much every time I hear it.
My favorite Christmas song is a bright and cheery rendition of Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow, by Nelson Rangell. I’ve loved it since the first time I heard it on the CD, A GRP Christmas Collection II. I don’t have to wait for the holidays to play it. One day I must’ve played it 50 times in a row. That night at bedtime my cat was humming the chorus in his sleepover and over. So cute! Give it a listen on iTunes or Spotify.
Love that card. My favourite Christmas song is an oldie, The Christmas Waltz. My parents had it on a record album and it just brings back memories of my Christmas as a child. I have the record now and I will play it multiple times during the holidays.
Ohhh I love this technique, made a beautiful card. I love just about all older Christmas songs. Depends on my mood and what’s happening on what I listen to lol
When I printed out your holiday color guide, I had to say another double thanks. This guide is awesome and prints beautifully. Such a generous gift that is much appreciated.

Gorgeous Christmas card Kristina! The nontraditional colors and faux dip design work beautifully for a memorable card! My all time fav Christmas song is "O Holy Night" sung by Nat King Cole. It is so moving and powerful, I have tears every time I hear it. Thank you for another fab Christmas card video series, I look forward to it every year!
My favorite Christmas song is New York Christmas (original) by Rob Thomas. I developed a deep appreciation and love for Hallelujah after hearing my daughter sing it with her choir. I also love Mary Did You Know by Penatonix. That technique is so cool!
I love the colors on this card! Favorite Christmas song is Grown Up Christmas List sang by Amy Grant. I can get so lost in the craziness of every day life so I listen to this song every now and then throughout the year to remind me of the important things. Love to everyone 💕
I truly love the card and want to try this myself. I had wondered if the paper would warp beyond repair, but happy it didn't. I have this paint set and have loved it I've the years. Especially the metallics for splatter.
Thanks Kristina, I really enjoyed this card and also the ink combo guide, which will be installed in my ever growing binder of Important Reference Information! My favourite Christmas album is "A Winter's Solstice IV" which is a Windham Hill Artists' production. It's instrumental with a variety of Christmas and seasonal pieces. Great background music. I play it both in my home and studio October through March! Recently I have also added "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra to my faves list. I just find it very powerful and makes me want to move. Can't wait to see what you have for us on Day 4!!
Very beautiful card. My favorite Christmas/Holiday song is “Rocking around the Christmas tree” by Brenda Lee. Reminds me of my childhood and Christmas at my Grandparents.

This might just be my most favourite card you've ever created! Such a beautiful card. The background is amazeballs! I love all the Christmas music! I start listening in June when I begin making my Christmas cards and I don't stop until after 25 December! My ultimate favourites are Jim Reeves, Elvis, Kelly Clarkson, Idina Menzel, Michael Buble, Pentatonix and Gwen Stefani!
Big thank you for the ink combo guide. So many times I have watched a video and wanted to make the card for a friend, but didn't because I have a different brand of ink and didn't know what colors to use.
I love so many Christmas songs but I think my favorite is Silent Night. On Christmas Eve our church has a tradition at the end of the service of lighting everyone's candles then turning out the lights and singing Silent Night.

“Silent Night Holy Night” because, when I was a little girl, my oldest brother gave my mother a crèche with a music box inside that played that song.
