Default Calling all inspiration

I need some right now. I want to start doing my Christmas cards this year but I am so uninspired this year. I am going to do a few Frosty cards and a few cards with Mary and Baby, but I need something for the non-denominational person that is not into snow. Any ideas? Help. Links, set suggestions etc would be awesome!

Hm, Christmas card with no snow? I dunno, for me, snow and Christmas go together!

You can check the Christmas Card challenge for some inspiration. The link for that challenge forum is here.

Stars can be used for Christmas and non-denominational, and no snow! So can anything Santa, or animals. Or maybe tree ornaments. There is a card that JulieHRR did that is really cute for Christmas... Gallery at Splitcoaststampers You could do without the Little Pieces to omit the snow, and do the ornament a different colour.

Here's a card I did last year using the Pines SU wheel, and made a holly wreath using Heartfelt Thanks. Totally non-denominational and no snow Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

Here's another using ornaments Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

Anyhow, my suggestion is to search the gallery. Lots of great ideas right here!

Have fun!
Jen

Hmmm, thought of that with the Flannel (excuse the spelling) background, but it just isn't my style. A little to informal for me. I am going to keep looking. You know last year it was so easy. I saw the Mary and baby set and it just spoke to me. And this year, well, nothing seems to be speaking to me. I will keep looking around hear. Ornaments may be the way to go. Thank you all for your help so far. Keep em coming. If you have a favorite let me know.

What about something simple like with the 'All through the year' set (page 69)? You could use the snowflake and star out of there. Maybe each one punched out with the square punch? Buckaroo Blue would look good with the snowflake, and then maybe cranberry crisp or bravo burgundy for the star, on a.......More Mustard background?? Throw some glitter and ribbon on there and you have a pretty, but somewhat non-denominational card. (Now I'm giving myself some ideas....)

Good Luck!

I just LOVE this card - it is definitely Christmas-y, but not religious, and I love the Thyme/Cranberry as an alternative red/green color scheme. All in all, I think this card is just so elegant!

I suggest you look at the Happiest of Holidays gallery (the card in the previous post is from that set), it is very versatile and nondenominational as well, good luck!

I agree with Happiest of Holidays.

I keep coming back to it. You can go with blues and the snowflakes, reds with the poinsettia, gold with the stars.

I've cased a few cards from the gallery of these myself.

Default Don't have a photo...

But one year I got a dry embossed outline of a dove on white paper with a little sparkle to it and the word "Peace" in pale blue on one corner. It was mounted on midnight blue paper. Simple and stunning.
