Wow! I love these cards and appreciate your video very much,thank you!

Gorgeous cards! Thanks for sharing the techniques and the inspiration! My favorite holiday memory.... when I was maybe 8 eight years old, my family went to spend the holiday with my grandparents, who lived in Santa Barbara. They lived in a big, 3-story old Victorian home. We all went out to midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, and it was really exciting to get to stay up so late! When we returned to the house, we discovered that Santa had arrived during our absence. Two bleary-eyed little girls and the rest of the family stayed up and opened our presents before heading to bed. It was a truly magical Christmas for me.

These are beautiful cards!! Love playing with the oxides! Some of my most precious memories are sitting up late at night stamping and making cards with my Dad. He did a great job and always loved learning new techniques. The cards he made for my mom were precious. I miss him!!!!

Beautiful cards. I like the distress oxide techniques and window cut outs. My favorite crafting memory is helping my grandchildren make projects for their parents.

Super cards! I like the contrast between the blended backgrounds and the pop of sparkle. The block outline dies are very cool. Loads of tips. I am going to have to try the painting technique. My aunt taught me to crochet. I made a scarf and a tam. It was a treasured time with her. I was so proud of what I accomplished. It was then that I learned just some of the wonderful benefits crafting can bring into your life.

What wonderful share of techniques. Love all the cards shown today!

One of my best Christmas memories was bareback riding my Pinto pony, that Santa brought, around the block. Needless to say, the neighbor kids were very impressed!! I am impressed with the lovely cards you made in this video. Striking techniques using the new dies.

My best memories are the compliments I receive when I gift a card or tag that I've created. That extra effort shows others that you care and makes them feel special and appreciated. Thanks for sharing this tutorial. Beautiful cards and dies!

Thanks for sharing these creative ideas. A joyful crafting memory for me was the first time I shared a card online and someone left a very kind comment.

These sentiments and shadows are great and I love how you used them to cut the windows. My friend was visiting last week and we spent all week doing all sorts of crafty things with paper and fabric and parted, both feeling inspired and renewed. Hugz

Love the Merry and Joy dies. Your samples are so beautiful and I love the new Oxide inks. I appreciate your different techniques. My favorite holiday memory is going caroling with friends. We were not good but we we put a lot of enthusiasm into each song.

Great cards! I love your ideas. I’m going to uses them all. My favorite crafty memory is of wrapping holiday gifts with my mom as a kid. I didn’t know that was the start of my love of paper and scissors but it was. Now my holiday gift wrapping uses stamps and dies too!

Love the windowing technique. I've seen this before and just fell in love with it. Christmas cards are going to be super awesomet this year. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful cards--love the poinsettias & those wonderful word dies! One of my favorite crafting memories is when I found out that a stamping magazine published my card & my sister's card in the same issue.

Beautiful Christmas cards! Can’t wait to give your ideas a try. One of my favorite crafty festive memories is of the first year I made my own Christmas cards. I’m still doing it all these years later.

My favorite crafting memory is being blessed to get a MISTI. Oh my did my sentiments and stamps finally start looking straighter on cards. Thank you for the techniques and the chance to win.

Wow I just love all of the cards you made but my Favorite was the plain white card front with all the fancy inside! I may have just changed my mind again on what I'm going to create for this years Christmas cards! LOL

All of these techniques are GREAT, Dave! I am ALWAYS trying to come up with techniques for my Oxide Inks! I didn't know of many of these either! AND those word dies are FABULOUS to make windows & have a bold sentiment on your cards! I also like the Poinsettia Delight & the Mistletoe & Holly Stamp Sets! SUPER JOB & THANK YOU, Dave! ;)

Thank you Dave always enjoy watching your tutorials and learning something new to try.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Love the new stamps and dies. I always love decorating my home, however, when my children were in college we would wait until just before Christmas, when they came home after exams, to decorate the tree. They are married now but I am very lucky they still come home for Christmas.

Dave, I've been watching all your videos and love all your ideas for your cards. I really enjoyed the video you did with the two window dies and the deer. I love working with Tim Holtz's Oxide Distress inks and especially using it over embossed stamping. Your idea with the words is beautiful. PS: this is Judy formally of Colorado stampnscraping.

A crafting memory of mine would be the making of 1st milestone ornaments such as 1st anniversary, Christmas together, daughter's 1st Christmas, etc. Melissa "Sunshine HoneyBee"

What lovely cards. So simple yet seemingly difficult. Thank you.

Thanks, Dave, for the gorgeous inspiration. Caroling on Christmas Eve when I was a youngster is one of my favorite holiday memories.

Gorgeous cards!! Thanks for sharing the process. I have several joyful memories as I crafted along with my mum from a young age especially while making flowers.

These are all so beautiful Dave, fabulous word dies as well. Looking forward to trying these techniques.
