As a crafter, I know how long it takes to make some handmade gifts. Items I receive need more than the few minutes of love I can give it, so I’m happy to post these Handmade with Love posts that showcase great handmade cards or gifts I have received.
As I have done in years past, I’m sharing some of the beautiful handmade Christmas creations that came to my our mailbox last month!
You’ve seen Holly’s work in previous Handmade with Love features as she’s always done such beautiful stamp work! This year was no different and I was happy to have her handmade card hanging on my card wreath this season!

Pat has also made several appearances now on the Handmade with Love posts. She always sends a stamped handmade creation which is chock full of textures! This year’s Christmas card included beautiful silver snowflakes, some embossed designs and an adorable set of stamped snowmen!

You may remember the modern vintage wedding I was part of last July. The beautifully designed pieces were created by the bride, Vanessa, a full design graphic designer. She made my mailbox smile once again with this fun “From our new home to yours” card she designed which features her new house! Congrats again Vanessa!

Next up is Handmade with Love veteran, Mary and her hubby Jim. You may remember their Christmas card from last year featuring Jim’s awesome cartooning skills and their love of nostalgia with their take on the Brady Bunch opening. This year they’re playing up some classic 90s! Their graffiti style street art is complimenting their cd art of fake albums which each represent their many pets! Creative once again Jim and Mary!

Lastly I want to share a most delicious gift we received! Cherylin made yet another adorable cookie creation that came our way in the form of these little Christmas onesies to celebrate Brielle’s first Christmas! nom nom nom
Thanks for sharing. I make decorated cookies each holiday so I love the cookie idea. A new house cookie would also be a cool idea! Great to enjoy with a spot of tea! Happy New Year!
