Welcome to the 2009 edition of Holiday Card Making 101! (You can check out the 2008 edition HERE!)
Every year around this time, stampers everywhere are frantically
trying to figure out what will be *the* card this year. Your 2009
holiday card that is! Well, if you are still indecisive, we are here
to help!!! The design team and I have put together an entire
presentation to help you get past the planning stages and into the
stamping phase!
Here's how it works. Scroll down through the following projects and
pick which one appeals to you and your stamping level the most. They
vary from really simple to a bit more complicated, some with more steps
than others. In other words, there is something for everyone, no
matter their capabilities!
Once you have selected *the* card, simply click to download a FREE planning worksheet.
The complete supply list & instructions to make 25 of the same
design, have been compiled just for you for EACH of the projects
below.
There isn't anything left to do but check to see what you have on
hand from the list and order anything you don't. With the helpful
cutting list that each designer included with their project, you can
have your holidays cards done in one afternoon. We hope you enjoy this
special holiday presentation. Please be sure to let us know if you
utilize it!

There you have it! Now there's nothing stopping you from getting those
holiday cards done! And don't forget to enjoy the journey!
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you doing this every year. It takes so much of the stress out of my holiday card making. Thanks for everything!
What a wonderful resource, thankyou Papertrey ink!
Wow, what beautiful examples. I can’t make up my mind. Thank you Ladies for all your excellent ideas
Thanks for all the great ideas with all of the information worked out for us! Now to decide which one I want to do…
Wow, thanks so much for this. It’s great to have the shopping and cutting list. A friend and I went to buy some supplies for her Christmas cards and had to do the math at the store – we were surprised by how much ribbon she actually needed!
And yes, I’m one of those people trying to figure out what will be “the” card this year. Since the arrival of our little man I’m loving photo cards so that family and friend’s can keep up with his growth.
All the cards are exquisitely lovely and striking. You think of everything. Why should I be surprised! But I am…. again! You pay attention to the smallest of details which is the mark of a GREAT company. Thank you for all you and your team do for us.
Wow, this is fabulous! So many great designs to choose from – looks like I’ve got some serious browsing to do… 🙂
Nichole, thanks so much for this. I loved the ones last year and used them for my Christmas cards and I was hoping you would do it again this year.
This is my first Christmas with PTI. Sure hope I’ve been a good girl!
Santa’s coming early;)
Love all your hard work ladies!!
Wow… this is awesome!! Thank you girls for putting so much work into this! So sweet of you guys to do this!
I just love coming here! It’s so inspiring. The artistry is unsurpassed. Visiting each of the DT’s blogs is a gift to me! Thanks, Nichole and crew for EVERYTHING. I feel so blessed to have found PTI this year!
Thanks for putting all of those cards in one post! The projects really help me to think of some of my own stuff 😀
Oh my goodness! How thoughtful of PTI to make our life easier!! Thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much for doing this again! I love making a variety of cards for Christmas, a few of this one and a few of that one. It’s wonderful to have some awesome cards that I can whip up without having to think too much, for the days when I’m not feeling as creative.
What a wonderful idea, and I love the variety of looks. Thanks
Brilliant concept Nichole! This will certainly get me through my list of holiday cards to make – Thank You !
I don’t know where you get the time, energy and brain power to put these lists together …. but they are priceless, and I appreciate you doing this for us :o)
You and the girls really take the hard work out of making Christmas cards but now I have the next problem, I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE. They all look fabulous. Thank you all for taking the time to do this.
Eveline.

Nichole, you are the BEST!!! I have seriously spent hours trying to figure out “the” card for this year. I keep going back and forth…this made it so much easier. Thanks for always thinking of everything!!
WOW! Nichole!! I can’t wait to visit every site—how kind of you to think of us—I’ve actually almost finished my cards this year—that’s what I did for WCMD with some friends, but I LOVE seeing what everyone did—always inspiring!
