Today- I thought I would share with you Christmas Cards that anyone can make even if you have never made a card before! 
For my project I purchased inexpensive Christmas Cards (these were from the Christmas Tree Shop) and blank red cardstock cards from American Crafts. Next I used these three products(Have a Merry Little Christmas, 2" Stamper with 15 point Font and Holiday Demi Phrases) to custom design my JustRite Personalized Christmas Stamper.
For my project I purchased inexpensive Christmas Cards (these were from the Christmas Tree Shop) and blank red cardstock cards from American Crafts. Next I used these three products(Have a Merry Little Christmas, 2" Stamper with 15 point Font and Holiday Demi Phrases) to custom design my JustRite Personalized Christmas Stamper.
First I loaded my Holiday Demi Phrase into the outer rim of my 2" Stamper.
Next I added in my 1 5/8 designer center from the Have A Merry Christmas Stamp set.
Then I added in a designer border from the same set. (Note: it is not necessary to use a 1 5/8" designer border--if you omit it you will have adequate room to die cut the image for additional layering)
Then I added my Custom Phrase to complete the demi phrase. ( OOPS-I got so excited once I loaded my custom sentiment that I forgot to take a picture of it before I inked it up the stamp). Next I stamped the image to see where I would need to adjust the custom writing and then using my tweezers - I simply shifted the letters slightly to adjust the spacing.
After you have loaded your custom block I highly recommend stamping off lots of images before you unload your block. These extra images will allow you to make quick Christmas Gifts at a later date.
Or if you love the idea of having a custom block always at hand simply purchase an additional block and leave your custom block set-up permenantly.
As you can see I had a ton of fun redesigning these pre made cards and adding a personal touch to them. I used a variety of combinations of Large & Small Classic Circle Nestabilities & Scallop Classic Nestabilites to make my JustRite Custom Embellishments.I made every card a little different-the possibilites were endless...and I have even started changing out my Holiday Demi Phrases and my custom sentiment yet!! 
For this version I used three pieces of ribbon and simplified my card by just using circle diecuts and a little gold leafing with my Gold Krylon Pen.
For this version I diecut the card with my oval nestabilites highlighting the tower of the Lighthouse. Then I die cut the red cardstock so that I could give my card an oval window. I used a second card to cut out pieces of the lighthouse so that I could create a paper toile effect. The bow, roof and walkway are all a second layer of the image.
