This was my favorite design you did for the Christmas season and what started me on my SNOWFLAKE ❄️ craze!!😂 I love how this is a simpler version . I plan to be making snowflake cards throughout the year. ❄️❄️☃️❄️❄️❄️
I just wanted to tell you how beautiful these cards (and all the other 12 weeks series cards) are!!! I finally just ordered this snowflake die and can’t wait to start creating with it!! Have a very Merry Christmas with your family❤️
I led my card group in making some based on your ones from July. It was clear-cut and super fun. I liked it because it was very simple and easy to do. They became my Christmas cards for this year and one bday card for a Dec bday. Thank you!
Gorgeous cards. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. So thrilled that you have surpassed your 10,000 mark and look forward to seeing what you create in the new year. ❤
Ciera you are so talented, and your inspiration is much appreciated. I have to say all of the Christmas cards have been my favourite🥰 Thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you and the cats.
My husband and I moved from NJ to WV 3 years ago so we are creating new traditions with our children and grands. We send small “just to have something to open” gifts and $$ cards in the mail. On Christmas morning all 1/2 of the family is at my son’s house and we have a Face Time call. The same with my husbands son’s family. We then go to my best friend’s house for a big country breakfast and have a blast. By then we’re so full and happy we come home to our fur baby and relax. So much fun and far more relaxing tho it used to be running all over NJ.Have a VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY❣️❣️❣️
Very nice cards Ciara! I have really enjoyed this series, and all of the fun and beautiful cards you created. Wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎄and the best with your new adventure in the New Year! 😀
I love these beautiful cards! We live in Florida so we are hoping to get to the beach for a few hours as it’s supposed to be in the 70’s. The past few yrs it’s been too chilly to go. Mimosas on the beach! Then home for meatballs...chili and nachos with friends. Our kids are grown and live too far away for us to go up so unfortunately we miss spending the holidays with them.... and my hubs can’t take any vaca during the holidays because of his work. But we make the best of it! We FaceTime the grands and enjoy seeing them open their gifts! I wish you a very Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah ! Blessings from down here in Fla! 🌴😎🎄
I love this card! I'm really thinking it's my favorite of all 12, and I think that the purplish shades, and the teal. And we do stockings as a tradition, also we have a tradition of one of our date nights during December is a Christmas light scavenger hunt
Merry Christmas! Thank you very much for your tutorials, you do a fabulous job and I appreciate how you make everyone feel inclusive! Love these cards!
Gorgeous cards. I think the teal/green combo is my favorite. But they are all stunning. My kids are adults now, but still home for Christmas. Every year we have chili for Christmas Eve & watch the very first episode of The Simpson’s. (Before it was a regular series they did a Christmas special-the first episode that ever aired. We’ve watched it every year since the first Christmas my husband & I were married). And on Christmas morning we open our stockings, then have Dutch babies for breakfast, & then finish opening gifts. We play games or watch movies after that. It’s wonderful to be together. Merry Christmas Ciara! Hope you & Chris have a beautiful day, & a truly joyous new year. 🎉❤
These cards are gorgeous! Happy holidays Ciara! And let us know if your family enjoyed the gifts you bought for them. Christmas used to be fun but I only have 1 brother left out of 4 siblings and my parents also died young. I don't enjoy the holidays anymore. It's just me and my husband.
Hi Ciera, I did make all the ones you made in July. They were beautiful but these are gorgeous too so I’ll be on with making these as well. We are in Colorado and beginning new traditions as my children are grown with their own homes now. So it will be a new chapter for me. It’s definitely bittersweet for sure. Enjoy your holiday with your loved ones and I look forward to a New Year with you as well.
What a beautiful and stunning card! Your channel came up in my feed and after watching the video I immediately subscribed. I look forward to watching your other videos too. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!! As for traditions, one that has lasted over the years (my hubby and I both did this as kids) was to open the stockings before breakfast. Stockings always had a mandarin orange and a box of After Eights in it. For a newer tradition, we do our big dinner on Christmas Eve. My oldest child has severe ADHD, and couldn't wait for me to get the turkey in the oven on Christmas Day. Hubby suggested that we do dinner on Christmas Eve, and we've been doing it ever since. It's great :) Everything is cleaned up for Christmas Day, and leftovers are the meals for the day, making it very easy on me. (I have severe ADHD as well)
I have a huge snowflake punch and some dies. I find when I recreate I end up putting a sweet little twist on it. Love a little shine and sparkle❄️❄️❄️ . Metallic cardstock does mark easily. I have little remenants of foil cardstock all over no matter how careful I am. Small vacuum cleaners are made for this . Have a fun Christmas with family and friends 🎄🎄🎄 (Mary)
I took inspiration from your earlier version of this card and enjoyed making it. I will revisit this design as I really loved the finished effect. Happy Christmas!
These are so beautiful! I made and gave cards this year from your first video that was similar to these. They were so fun to make. I appreciate this creative design and how easy they were to make. Something I struggle with when I give handmade cards is knowing how much time I spend on them and it seems people don't really appreciate them. I know I'm making them because I love to create arts and crafts and need a creative outlet but I admit I struggle with this. I would love any encouragement you can give me? Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Seriously how did 12 weeks go by already!! Another stunning card set Ciara.. Wishing you and your hubby a Wonderful Christmas🎄, and wishing you Both a very Happy New Year🍾🍷🍷!
Thank you so much Betty !! Hard to believe Christmas is in a few days and then the year is over 🤯 I have big plans for 2025!! Merry Christmas to you and your family my beautiful friend!!
I think just in general it’s nice to have a set of plates where you used the one you cut with on the bottom and you use a new plate on the top. I always buy an extra set of plates so I can keep swapping them out. It’s easier for us to see what you’re doing when the plate is clean on the top and you get the same amount of use if you rotate That one to the bottom when it’s time to throw it out and add a clean one (new one) on the top. The other thing someone mentioned recently I heard was that if you cover the die and the piece of card stock or metallic paper you’re cutting through, with another piece of paper before you lay the plate down. This helps avoid putting marks on your cardstock.
You are my new favorite card designer! Everything you make is gorgeous. So thank you for what you do. I’m wondering what you do for the inside of your cards. Do you use a stamp? Or just jot down a handwritten note? I’m always stumped for what to do. Thanks and Merry Christmas!!
These are absolutely beautiful. A great way to end your 12 weeks of Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I can’t wait to see what you do next ❤
Thank you very much!!! I am pretty happy with those cards !! They are beautiful in person, I couldn’t resist making another set of snow flake cards for my last video in December lol so you’ll get one more beautiful set before we jump into 2025 💜☺️
All of your cards during this 12 weeks of Christmas have been beautiful. After seeing one of your cards with this Tim Holtz die, I had to buy it. It’s such a gorgeous snowflake, but I hate that you wasted the center of the holographic card stock. I would’ve cut out snowflakes.😉
I love your channel. But I have a question. As a self taught senior card maker, I have no idea the measurements of cards. What is a A2, A6 or whatever card makers use. Merry Christmas 🎄❤️🇨🇦
These cards are amazing! And your nails are fabulous, as always (you got me at purple!)! Question (because I am fairly new here): there is a high pitch noise beeping now and then in your videos. It got me by surprise the first time I watched you. Is that normal? Christmas has always been pretty bad in my house. Of course, I was raised in an abusive invironment. Christmas just ment that my father was around all day long and that was never a good thing. I moved to a different country to get out of all this uglyness. It is so much better now. My husband really tries to make it special for me and I love it. We bake together, we decorate and we pack the gifts for his family. And he hides my gifts until the last day (I never managed to find them... LOL) while he tries not to hear me talking about his gifts (because I can not stop! I love giving gifts and I can not wait for it!). I guess it is the people we have around us what makes Christmas special! So, Happy Christmas!!!
Your cards are beautiful ! I'm always surprised when I see you using a whole piece of special cardstock for just a small border on your cards. My budget is very limited so I would use it at least to cut one of the snowflake and probably also something smaller to make the best use of it.

Those cards with the holographics are stunning ❤ ❤ ❤
Beautiful cards!! I love all the cards!! Anything with snowflakes and snowmen!! Hope you a have very Merry and blessed Christmas!!
Gorgeous cards again.
Enjoy the turkey dinner and family time.
I am looking forward to your next videos.

Gorgeous car! I’m going go back to July to see what they were like! Merry Christmas!💞💞🎄🎄🎄🎄

I like both card colors that you liked best.
Thank you for all your inspiration, A very happy Christmas and best wishes for 2925.

That sounds a delightful way to celebrate the Season. We all need to do what works for us and not a commercial version 🤶🎅
Merry Christmas (God Jul) from Sweden🇸🇪🤶🏻🎄🥰 love your cards🌟
These are lovely. ❤

Beautiful cards❤
These are beautiful and I love how easy they were to put together!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Beautiful cards!
Gorgeous cards
What a WONDERFUL idea to cut the cardstock down to just the size of the die cut so you don't Bruise the rest of the cardstock!

I think this is the best card ever. It's so beautiful and it looks so easy to make. I'm gonna try to copy your design if you don't mind.
Funny you remade this one because it was one of my Favs! Hard to pick between the two.

The pink is my fav….love this but need to buy the mica spray….
I love your channel. But I have a question. As a self taught senior card maker, I have no idea the measurements of cards. What is a A2, A6 or whatever card makers use. Merry Christmas 🎄❤️🇨🇦
Do you give your family your hand made Christmas cards and do they love them as much as you subscribers?
❤
These cards are amazing! And your nails are fabulous, as always (you got me at purple!)! Question (because I am fairly new here): there is a high pitch noise beeping now and then in your videos. It got me by surprise the first time I watched you. Is that normal?
