Trend Watch – Christmas Cuties

It’s already time to make Christmas cards! Well… I know that some of you are probably already finished but I just can’t find the ‘Christmas card making mood’ when my head (and life) is still in summer mode. But somewhere in November I’ll get the feeling that I want to create something for Christmas. When I was looking for some inspiration I realized that the cute critters trend even continues in the Christmas cards! And I have to admit, those critters are really cute for Christmas!

So let’s spread around some cuteness this week and start with this little fox! I love that his shawl almost looks like a little bow around a present.

If you want to add a little laughter to your holiday cards, this stamp and die from Sweet ‘n Sassy stamps is great!

Kara doesn’t use the traditional Christmas colors on this card but it does give a real ‘Christmas feeling’. Did you notice the shawl on the bunny? So cute!

And I don’t know how it is in your countries, but here in Holland a lot of people feed the birds in the winter. So a couple of cute birds couldn’t be missing from this post.

If you don’t want to buy a whole Christmas stamp set you could use the stamp sets you already own. These two projects combine ‘normal’ stamp sets to create a real Christmas scene.
