Christmas Ivy Card by Courtney Kelley
Moxie Fab Alert: You know I love me some white space, but this elegant-ish ivy sprig paired with the whimsical font in the sentiment, and that awesome grounding stripe on the left-hand side fills all the space inside of me with joy!
Joy Card by Teri AndersonMoxie Fab Alert: I love the simplicity in this card, and yet, the pearls make this simple little card really special.
Countdown on the Avenue Advent Calendar by Regina Mangum
Moxie Fab Alert: I am a complete and total sucker for complex projects, mainly because I love doing them so much myself. Regina's advent calendar is not only amazingly complex, but it takes me to a quiet Christmas street in London back in the day.
Sweetest Holiday Wishes Card by Michele Boyer
Moxie Fab Alert: A gingerbread cookie that looks ready-to-eat on red and kraft? I'm all about it!
Brings Us Together Card by Maren Benedict
Moxie Fab Alert: I'd love to live in a world in which I could hang snowflakes up in this color palette any day of the year!
Pink Snowball Girl Card by Lori Craig

Joy Banner by Kandis SmithMoxie Fab Alert: If you want to put joy on a wall, this will do the trick.
Swirls of Joy Card by Julia Stainton
Swirls of Joy Card by Julia StaintonMoxie Fab Alert: I love the motion in this card. My eye starts at the ribbon at the top, flows down through the ivy to the snowflake in the bottom right-hand corner while the little peppermints at the bottom hold me there as though they were spinning and then the stitching and the lilt in the background paper takes me right back to where I started. Moxie fab, Julia! Moxie fab!
Let It Snow Card by Danni Reid
Let It Snow Card by Danni ReidMoxie Fab Alert: This cutie card is sweet, light, and airy. And is it just me, or does it seem like it's literally sugar-coated?

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 208 Newer› Newest»They're all so inspiring, but I would say it's the advent calendar. I love all things miniature and building scenes is so much fun. What a fun blog hop!
WOW! All of these are just AWESOME! But, that JOY Card just really grabs me, LOVE all the different textures. TOO COOL! Thanks for sharing and a chance to win!
Me-Ma Kim
It's all about colors for me... Love different color combinations and Annabelle's adorable tags and Julia's lovely card are just my cup of tea!
I love the Gingerbread man card for sure. I recently bought a gingerbread man stamp and I love using it, he's so cute!!
I am lovin both of the joy cards. I love the colors and pearls and swirls!
Love the "Joy" banner. Trying to figure out a place I could hang one in my house.
That advent calendar is amazing. Maybe it's because I'm having such a blast making little houses as gift bags for some gourmet cookies right now, but I love how those townhomes look. Definitely wanting to try that out.
i like the kraft card 'bring us together' . clever use of circle layered on to highlight the uniqueness of this card.
they are all so sweet--i'm torn between courtney and maren's cards--both are fab!
I like the gingerbread man card. And the rest as well.
Eveline.
I like the Christmas Ivy card and the Joy card the best. They are elegant and classical and not to overcrowded. Thanks for the chance to win!
All of the creations are fabulous. My favorite has to be Anabelles tags!
They are all wonderful creations!!!!
I love Mare-Bear's card! It really inspires me to bust out some circles and see what happens!
Run, run, as fast as you can...I am drawn to that cute little gingerbread man. Love the colors, so warm and cozy!
Cath -
All those projects are just wonderful. But my favorite is the Christmas Ivy Card. I just love that it is fairly simple and clean but speaks volumes. It is so elegant and really says Christmas to me.
Elaine Allen
What amazing projects!
That advent calendar is just stunning!
Everything is great. I like the JOY banner, I made a JOYFUL banner type thing that turned out really cute. This reminds me of it.
these are ALL wonderful holiday projects - so different and refreshing! i'm a big fan of Maren's card, as i'm a sucker for the odd colours... i recently discovered my love for chartreuse in christmas cards!
Beautiful projects. I think the pink one is especially cute!
they are all so wonderful - can not pick just one!
Sandra
They are all so inspiring! can't pick just one! Kathy Hering
They are all fabulous! I really like the JOY banner! I would make a wonderfull decoration for a christmas party!
The advent calendar is amazing! I love it!
I love all of the cards but absolutely love Maren Benedict's card. I am a sucker for snowflakes because you can use them all winter, not just for Christmas!
They are all beautiful, but Courtney's Christmas Ivy card inspires me most. I love a lot of white space ;D
The Bring us together card is really fab! I love the way she added colour to the crease on the top of the card. Such a tiny detail that just makes the card complete!
Hugs
Tanya
Love the Christmas tags. Beautiful colors and not very traditional.
I am so into banners right now - I just love the JOY one with the jingle bells. And JOY is a year round theme.
They are all beautiful, but I have loved Teri Anderson's card since the first time I saw it. Just gorgeous!
I like Annabelle's tags, super cute!
so much great inspiration to choose from, but I guess for me it would have to be the cutie pie tags and Christmas Ivy. Thanks for finding inspiration to fire us.
Oh I love the stocking card. I must do stockings next year!!!
lisa a.
They're all beautfully done projects, but Countdown on the Avenue Advent Calendar inspires me most. I've really wanted to make an Advent Calendar for the past few years, and this has given me some great ideas to think about! (as well as a great way to use several stamps that I've not yet used!)
Those tags ROCK! And the gingerbread man? Yummy!
love the let it snow card! love the color combo and her stocking is so cute!
Maren's card "brings us together" really struck me for some reason. I have some stamps that could work for this...but I would make it really glitzy of course!
Love the JOY banner and the Swirls of Motion card!
I'm torn between my love for the sweet gingerbread man (hope to make some this weekend!) and the Jolly by Golly tags (because I think that line is moxie fab, too).
I love the Swirls of Joy card by Julia. Her stuff is always so inspirational.
I want the Joy Banner so much, that I will prob make one! Now thats inspiration!
I truly love all of them, and each one has something quite special about it, but I love the first one. Love the simplicity of it, yet such detail, the textured card stock, the dainty "ivy", the traditional colours, the slim ribbon band. Lovely! Thanks for showcasing all of them Cath!
What a beautiful Christmas walk through eye candy! I cannot get over how amazing Regina's Countdown on the Avenue advent calendar is!!! WOWZERS! :>
Such great inspiration. I love them all but I'm crazy about Julia's card. I just love all those details!
The Christmas Ivy Card is striking and what a great way to use some of my stash of patterned paper strips and embellishments. Gorgeous!
I love the sweetest holiday wishes card. The gingerbread man is so cute and I love that the card is not all cluttered with tons of embellishment. Sweet n simple is my style.
My favorite is swirls of Joy! Love that card.
I love the dimension in the Let It Snow card. I am a sucker for dimensional foam tape anyways, but the stocking looks like it is floating on air! Beautiful!
My inspiration piece would have to be the first card with the white space! I have a dreadful time with CAS cards, and this one is so clean and elegant!!! However, they are ALL inspiring, and I thank you for such a nice post this morning!
totally inspired by the tags, Im trying so hard to make tags for all the gifts this year, and these ones scream scraplift me....
The Joy banner has inspired me. I selected a word for the year and Joy is what I really need in my life. It has inspired me to make a banner for my entry way to remind me to have JOY everyday!
Thanks for all the inspiration you give me every day by visitining this blog. May you have JOY daily in your life, because you bring me JOY every day!
Merry Christmas!
Regina's advent calender is simply amazing! It is wonderfully inspiring due to it's fabulous design and creative ingenuity! I really love it! I want to make one!
Love the advent houses card...I love little scenes as such - wouldn't it look great on a mantle with some little lights and 'snow'? This has inspired me to redecorate our mantle...in time for Christmas. Thanks!
I love the Sweetest Holiday Wishes, it reminds me of my childhood. One Christmas we spent the holiday with an Aunt and Uncle, I was the youngest child, inspiring them to make Gingerbread men. Everyone hung up their own, real sock and got one from Santa. That was about 1940 ! Nola Taylor
OMG they are all so beautiful and inspiring but because I love kraft and red together I like Michelle Boyer's
While I LOVE all the cards..I am a CAS gal at heart and Christmas Ivy Card by Courtney Kelley really caught my eye. So gorgeous and completely CASEable...Just fantastic.
There is NO way to pick just one!! ALL of these projects inspire me!! LOVE them!!
love the joy banner. The combo of old text papper and glittery letters is beautiful!
I honestly do like all of them! You did some fantasic work!!!!
But since I only decorate in Gingerbread at my house. I would have to say that the gingerbread card stole my heart!!! Just too cute with the colors that you chose!! I like how you put " sweetest holiday wishes" That is a card that I would save forever, it someone had sent that to me! Thanks!
Wow! It is hard to choose just one. I love the simplicity of the Christmas ivy card. It just says elegance. But then the Gingerbread man card brings out the craft in me. All these projects are fabulous.
I really am drawn to the first card by Courtney Kelly-like the clean and simple design-but it doesn't lack either!
The gingerbread card inspires me because we just did our gingerbread houses this weekend and it really put us in the holiday spirit.
I really like that JOY banner!
Rachel in Spooner, WI
really love the let it snow card. What a cute idea. All of the cards are awesome but this would be my favorite pick for inspiration.
Courtney Kelley's and Anabelle O'Malley's projects just sing to me!
That let it snow card is darling and it does look like it is sugar coated!
I love the gingerbread man card. He is so cute. Kraft and red are one of my favourite colour combos. It looks countryish, and classy at the same time.
Wow...Regina's advent calendar is out of this world. I can't wait to do that next year!
The first one! Love the use of white space!
I just love Anabelle's tags! The colors are gorgeous and the lace adds the perfect feminine touch. Thanks for sharing!
They're all beautiful but I love the use of white space in the first card, since I struggle with that!
Oh, it is so hard to pick just one out of all those awesomely beautiful creations! I do love that swirls of joy card though! Thanks for a chance to win some goodies.
Love 'em all- but that 'joy' banner really grabs me! I love all the banners- but this one is a little different- kitschy! :)
I am a big fan of the JOY banner, it is right up my alley and I adore it.
i love the joy banner cause it a great way to use some great papers from my stash.
Hard to narrow it down to only one card, as they are all terrific! But I love Danni's Let it Snow card. I love the color combination, and the adorable stocking with the little bit of bling, and the dangling ornaments! Love all the details!
DeniseB
I really like Danni's, but if I had to choose a fav, I'd have to go with Courtney Kelly's simple card---classy cool!
So many wonderful inspiring samples! i was really drawn to the fantastic advent calendar with such amazing detail. And I am loving Maren's hanging snowflakes--really clever and just adorable!
I love the Christmas Ivy card by Courtney Kelley. So simple and elegant but it gets the point across and is something I might actually have the time to do. The advent calender rocks but dang I don't know if I'd ever find the time to complete it.
The bring us together card with the bow on top of the snowflakes.I love the simplicity of the the card and the unusual use of color.
Donna
They are all wonderful! But, 'Countdown on the Avenue' is my favorite. The detail is amazing.
I love all things whimsy - so these cards definitely speak to my inner elf !
I loved the joy banner it made me smile!
I love the Advent Calendar, and I'm a huge Dani Reid fan, so both of those projects are very inspiring!
Great inspiration here. I love Julia's card. She is such a great designer, and I like how she uses stitching to bring all of her elements together. Thanks for the chance to win.
All of these projects are amazing! I love the "Swirls of Joy" card most because it finally shows me how to use all of my Jolly By Golly paper together! I'm mixing patterns averse so love to see people who can do it so well! :)
loving ALL of them hehe! all the pearls and ribbons, gems and Cosmo Cricket :D
I love Julia's card. I love the colour combo, and the patterns. This card has so much texture and movement. I want to go play with paper right now!

Love Teri's card and Julia's - both a Joy theme but so different and wonderful!
I am all about tags these days so I'm going to say the last 2 are my favorite. They are tag, the colors are glorious and I just plain old love them!
I love all the cards especially the "Swirls of Joy Card" by Julia Stainton. I love the colors, the dementional and all the embellisments put together to create this very festive feeling.
I love the Christmas card inspiration you share with us. The Joy card creation is my favorite inspiration because of I love pearls and flourishes and snowflake embellies. Thanks Terri for sharing such a gorgeous card.
I really like Julia Stainton's Swirls of Joy Card, I love the layout and the colors are fabulous!
These are all gorgeous. I love the CAS look of the Christmas Ivy Card by Courtney Kelley...quick & easy b/c that is what I need right now to complete a card.... but I am really inspired by all of them :)
it has to be a toss up between my friends Julia and Lori. I could never pick one over the other! :) they are both so amazingly talented, and I am knocking on their blogs' doors every morning!!! giggles!
Julia's Joy Card is my fav of the bunch. I love all the Cosmo paper and the joy beads!

The ivy sprigged/rigged card does it for me. My heart sighs with delight with all that calming white space.
The Gingerbread man card is so cute, but I really love them all.
Beautiful projects! I love the advent calendar; houses are such the rage right now.
Merry Christmas!
I love the gift tags! Such a great way to incorporate a bit of creativity with a store bought gift.
I am most inspired by the first card, just because I am trying to play around w/ the clean and simple style a bit.
Oh what wonderful projects! Now I just need more time to make some of them...and if I did I think I'd make the tags first! Thanks for the chance to win!
These projects are all inspiring, but I really love the Sweetest Holiday Wishes Card by Michele Boyer. I just love that little gingerbread man. Thanks for sharing.

Love the "joy" banner! They are fun to make for every holiday!
Can I have a three-card-tie?
I love the pearls in Teri's card. The advent calendar houses bring me back to Merrie Olde England, and Julia's Joy alphabet beads on that awesome bow made me grin hugely.
The other cards are great too.
The Joy card by Teri inspires me. I love swirls and flourishes but don't use them enough on my projects!
Blessings,
Christine
Loving all the projects using the line from Cosmo Cricket Christmas line!q
These are all great projects, but that first card with the white space is definitely my favorite.
I have to just pick one? They are all so great but I would have to say danni's card.... I just love the colors and that skinny stocking is the cutest ever!
Hands down the advent calendar. The detail is incredible. I'm inspired to put some more effort into my paper craft projects - but mostly I'm inspired to make an advent calendar for next year.
I'm with you on the motion of Julia's card, too! You said it better than I was thinking, though... :)
They are all so adorable. I love Julia's card!!!
The Countdown on the Avenue Advent Calendar are so cute!
The Joy Card by Teri Anderson is amazing! I love the pearls, they're so delicate and beautiful.
Those tags by Annabelle are really sweet! I never make tags, but hers make me wish I do make them.
Love the Christmas Ivy card. Simple, but elegant, at the same time!
I am most inspired by the Cutie Pie tags by Annabelle. I love the whimsical use of color and the variety of textures. Merry Christmas! -Alisa
I love the sewing and beads spelling joy in Julia Stainton's card! A prize from you would be Uber Fantastic!
You expect me to choosse one? Oh no! That's easier written than selectes. I had to go back and look again and my eyes naturally gravitated to Julia's. As you mentioned the motion of the swirls in the paper and sewing really entice me to create something!
I loved all the creative and inspiring MOJO in this row. If I had to pick one it would be Maren's card. I just love her style. Great colors, love how she used the rhinestones and the circles.
I love them all but the "Let it snow" card by Danni Reid is so fresh... Just love it..
Love all of these, Cath. Amazing talent out there in blog land. I really like Courtney Kelley's
card...it just says it all in a simple and elegant way.
ahhh love the cute tags
I really like all of the white space on the first card.
It's a good life!
Terri E.
I like the Joy garland the best...it looks classic and simple. Love it!
OH my goodness!!!! How do I choose just one!!!!???? I guess my first would be the Joy card with the pearl swirls. Those are the colors of our Christmas deocrations and I love it! But truly--they are all wonderful!
Adorable!! You inspire me.....
I like Christmas Ivy-- I want to make my cards more simple and elegant and this is great inspiration for that!
Courtney's Christmas Ivy is so beautiful..yet simple! Since I'm still working on my cards, I think that this card is my inspiration. Don't get so complicated, keep it simple yet elegant..JUST DO IT!!
I love Teri's Joy card. It's fresh like fallen snow :)
The Christmas Ivy card and the awesome Advent Calendar really warm my cockles (if I had any cockles!).
Oh gosh they are all so fabulous! I really really was drawn to the Advent Calendar and Maren's krafty snowflake card!
Oh how to pick!! All are so inspiring, but now that all of the cards are done, it has been so fun making gift tags! Small quick little projects, like instant gratification!!
Teri anderson's joy card is so cool and of course I love cc's jolly by golly collection.
I LOVE the Let It Snow card by Danni. I LOVE the long stocking and the ornaments humg by ric rac. It just makes me happy!
The joy banner is so cute and looks so festive. It would make a good welcome in our foyer.
I love them all but my favorite is probably the JOY banner! Thanks for the chance!
Abby:)
Jolly by Golly is just so darn happy-I smile every time I see something made with it.But the card by Maren Benedict is scrumptious!
That advent calendar is AMAZING!
These are ALL super, but if I had to choose ONE favorite, it would be Maren's snowflake card!!! I have this "thing" for kraft cardstock these days and I absolutely LOVE the color palette she used!! Beautiful!!
I am totally in love with the card that has houses on it. I have been seeing a lot of houses, windows, and doors lately. I think they are just adorable. I would like to put this theme into a Valetine's card.
Oh my, these are absolutely divine creations but the advent calendar is stunning. I have this set but I don't know if I am that ambitious. It's so beautiful I might have to give it a try.
Every one of them are so beautiful and inspiring but I was most taken with Danni Reid's Let It Snow card. I love the stitching and the popped up stocking in green against the aqua background...ooo love the whole thing!!
OmGosh...It is Christmastime and everything Christmas inspires me right now. I just enjoyed it all. I am almost able to get back to my studio. I am itching for it. "I so xcited!"
All wonderful and inspiring, but I have to say I am most inspired by Anabelle's Cutie-Pie Christmas Tags. I love all the colours.
I've narrowed it down to two faves: Teri's Joy card (so elegant w/ the gem swirls!) and Julia's Swirls of Joy card (love the big ribbon and the little details - the snowflake, the "joy" bead letters) - just fabulous!
Christmas Ivy Card is my fave - love the simplicity of it and the string of ivy is just so perfect!
Let it snow really inspired me...love the colors together and the stocking...SO CUTE. Thanks for asking.
The pastels and pearls in the joy card are just perfectly wintery wonderful.
Love the avent calendar. So beautiful. Such detail!
These are all inspiring and fabulous but what set off my creative thoughts is the joy card with the pearls--how elegant--need to start thinking about adding pearls to my cards!
Ah, I love the simple and sweet Christmas card made by Courtney Kelley. It's adorable!
Advent Calender is best I have ever seen. Love the little red door with the wreath and all the windows done with shutters and flowers. How fun of you to blog hop our blogs!
I am in love with Jolly by Golly! Totally in love!
the countdown calendar is a-maz-ing.
I love the layers and bright colors of Julia's card. Also, that advent calendar is beautiful! I love the attention to all the details.
Love the fun colors being used for Christmas cards! Thanks!
they are all MOxie FAb for sure...beautiful work!!
All the projects are awesome! Love "Swirls of Joy", such pretty colors!
Fabulous projects, all of them, but I'm truly lovin' the candy colors and adorable images on Anabelle's tags! xxD
Wow, so beautiful! Really love the colors in Teri Anderson's Joy card and Julia Stainton's let it snow card. It just goes to show that pastels are not just for springtime.
Honestly, they all inspire me! Such gorgeous creations! My favorite is the Christmas Ivy card...so clean and graphic!
♥Lea
I love the Christmas Ivy Card. I really like the crisp, clean look.
They are all wonderful, but Courtney's card really caught my eye - because I am just now getting to my Christmas cards!
That sweet gingerbread card inspires me the most...for NEXT year!
~Shari R.
Teri Anderson's Joy card inspires me to new heights of elegance...and I love the street scene one too...never can pick just one!
I loved the cutie pie tags and the advent houses!!
Love the gingerbread boy card--they are my fave decoration at Christmas.
I think I like the Joy card with the pearls - I just love the soft addition of elegant bling on the card with the not quite traditional colors!
They are all so inspiring and full of talent. It was a hard choice but I love the Joy Banner.
Thanks for the giveaway.
debbie peysen

Love all the projects but my favorite is the advent calendar: it reminds me of the Madeline stories!!
the projects are all amazing, but my two favorites are the advent calendar and swirl card.
I love the advent houses. They look like a little historical neighborhood.
My favorite - Christmas Ivy Card by Courtney Kelley. Because I love simple and stunning designs that can be used over and over.
Countdown on the Avenue has my vote--I've always wanted to make my own advent calendar, but have always been intimidated by the idea of cutting all those windows! I love when you do the blog hopping for me--you always uncover such wonderful projects.
I love the Swirls of Joy by Julia Stainton. Absolutely gorgeous. I love the use of the non traditional Christmas colours.
Di Lang
I was inspired by all of them but my favorite was the first Christmas Ivy card by Courtney Kelley--it is simple yet elegant in a casual sort of way.
They are all gorgeous, but I think the gingerbread man wouls appeal to me the most
I love Julia Swirl of Joy. It just a yummy card. I love all the layers, swirls, colors
The Christmas iIvy card inspires me the most because I just got these stamps for $4 at Michael's andnow I can't wait to give them a little love. I love a bargain!!!
The Christmas Ivy card took my breath away - gorgeous!
The project that inspired me was the Countdown on the Avenue Advent Calendar by Regina Mangum. Waooo... this was a great creation. Love the colors of the building.
So many great projects! However, I am so drawn to Maren's work always inspires me!
Swirls of Joy by Julia Stainton really made me stop and look harder! Totaly love it and how shenspelled out "joy" with the little letter beads!
Love them all!
