I don't think I'm going to finish my cards this year. I'm afraid there's gonna be some Hallmarks thrown in the mix.
Thanks for the info! TFS CallyAnn
Aha! Thanks for the tutorial! (And the chance to win Handy Man!) No ... I am running out of time, so only close family members may get a handmade card this year since time is running short. Just a few weeks away ---- eeeek!

Thanks for the tutorial on posting a comment. It took me awhile to figure it out on my own when I started, so I am sure this tutorial will be of help to someone else who is just starting out. :D

Thanks for the video! No, I haven't finished my Christmas cards... hopefully this weekend.
Finished?!! Are you kidding? I've barely started and I usually send out my cards by first of December, which means I better be pretty busy this weekend making cards. Luckily, I don't have that many to make. Thanks for your terrific giveaway.--Pat N.
Yep, finished my holiday cards. Now I just have to get the holiday shopping completed!

I am pretty fortunate that I started my cards early. So actually "yes" I am done with them.

One thought: CHRISTMAS CARDS!!!! On Dasher...
Nice tutorial! I'm sure a lot of new blog readers will find this helpful! :) I opted to send out printed photo cards this year. Planning to make homemade tags though! :)
I'm still working on my cards...and I'm still trying to find my address book! Things tend to disappear with a 3 year old in the house! lol Thanks for he chance to win!
I have not completed my Christmas cards but do have some finished. It seems I always over plan on all I am going to make for gifts, etc when I know I will not have the time to finish it all. LOL!
still working on the cards. Thanks for teaching us all so much!
Finished?! I've barely started! LOL! But I always get them done! YAY!
Thanks for sharing! I know sometimes these blogs can have a mind of their own when it comes to the comments!
Very clear tutorial! I am so pumped because I have now finished all my cards, my Christmas letter and our family calendar with photos, birthdays, anniversaries and the 2012 holidays all included on it. I also put everyone's contact info on the back. It's a great resource for our scattered family.
Thanks for another helpful video! No, I haven't finished my cards. I guess it's about time I get started!
Thanks for the video and all that you do! I really appreciate it!!
and..... NO!! I haven't even started working on my cards yet 8(
Have a great weekend!!
I've finally decided on a card and got them started. Wooooo Hooooo! They are coming along pretty well and I should be able to finish them at our Christmas Crop on Sunday.
I haven't finished Christmas cards yet this year.
Thanks for the tutorial now I know how to sign up for the drawings. This is my first time to sign up. will be doing more now.

Hubby is a major handy man. Would love this making creations for him. Love it.
Yes, Christmas cards are done, but I have to admit they were ordered on Snapfish - just don't have time to make my own (shame, shame, shame).
nope, haven't started can't decide what i want to do yet. lol

I'm figuring I'll have to have a couple of marathon crafting sessions to get the cards made, addressed, and sent out!
YIKES! No haven't started my cards yet, but planned out the design, so that's what takes the most time for me.
Thanks for the video!
Would love to win the handyman cartridge, thanks for the giveaway!
hope to win the Handyman cartiridge so I can make things for my handymen around my house and my son's house .... love your site most comments I have ever left LOL
I have finished all the cards I will be handcrafting this season. I also just put the finishing touches on six wordbooks that I'm giving as gifts. It's a great feeling! Thanks for all the inspiration you give us throughout the year!
Kathryn
Great tutorial! I would love to win the Handyman Cartridge! I need to start my holiday cards soon!
I started my Christmas cards, but I didn't finish them! I actually came up with an idea for a card for a few of my colleagues based on hilarious inside joke that happened at work, so I'm hoping to do that this weekend!
I haven't started my cards. Have another scrapbooking project I have to be finished with by Tues. or Wed. So will start right after that is done. Thanks for all your tutorials.

Thanks for the info. I only create everyday cards, it is to hard to send out handmade christmas cards.
Yes, I just finished making my Christmas cards this evening. Now I just got to address the envelopes.
I've been looking all over town for the Handy Man cartridge,since it was a Walmart exclusive and now most all of the Walmarts in my area have stopped selling Cricut cartridges.
Thanks for the tutorial. Merry Christmas!
25 Christmas cards are completed but I wanted to add a photo on the inside, so not yet ready to be mailed. Always something...
I am new to the Cricut community - I just got my E2 at the beginning of November and have created 2 birthday cards and 15 Christmas cards.
I created 6 different Christmas ones and have duplicated one 10 times and working to duplicate two of the others. I should have them done by the end of this weekend.
I'm hoping Santa brings me some of the cartridges I wished for - I think I've been pretty good this year.
PS - thanks for the video because a newbie like me needs TONS of input!
I have not finished my cards yet. A friend and I are in a personal challenge to finish our cards within the next week or so.

I have just gotten the Scandinavian Christmas Card cartridge. I made all my front pictures for my cards. I have printed the sentment on each of my cards and printed them. All I need to do is paste the pictures on a christmas design on to the card and add the front saying and it is all done. Doing all this tomorrow. It would be so very nice to win the cartridge giveaway! Please pick me.
I am still very engrossed in making Christmas presents. For next year I am starting on Decmber 26th! LOL http://visionsofpaper.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the tutorial for those who need that. I have a little jump on my Christmas cards because of the card swap I was in which puts me at 30 done. to bad my card list is at least double that lol.
As always thanks for the tutorial. Really enjoy following your site. Thansks for a chance to win.
Thanks Joy for thr tutorial.

haven't even thought about starting my christmas cards yet. i'm a procrastinator.
Not finished with Christmas cards yet but plan to have them done & mailed out by the end of next week.
That was a very helpful tutorial. I have my cards all done!! Yippee! Nothing else though! I have my priorities!
Nancy from Minnesota
I haven't finished my Christmas Cards yet. But, we are planning a Christmas Card Decorating Party with the kids, so I'll finish up then! Really looking forward to that!!
I loved it! And thanks for the chance to win!
My Holiday card is all designed. I made a winter card last month and my mother has asked me for 100 for her christmas card sending next year.
I thought wow 100? can I even do that? then as I thought about it and realized if I make 10 a week for her, that is very doable.
I better make a permanent card making station that doesn't share any other activity.
Thanks so much for the Blogger Blogs Video Tutorial!!!
JeanDamko
All done with cards this year. Retirement has helped my schedule this year. Thanks for all your good tutorials during the year.
My Christmas cards are in the production stage...pssst still not done :)... Thanks so much for the tutorial your site is such an inspiration. I could see myself giving the new Handyman cartridge a workout! So many people I know have projects going it would be nice to whip up a card or little gift for them with it. Thanks for a chance to win it.
My cards are made, addressed and stamped-now all I have to do is remember to mail them!!!!
This is a great idea- wish I would have seen this one a few years ago- I had to figure it out on my own! I hope it really helps those who are new to the blogging world. Thanks for the chance to win! lclass 003 at gmail dot com
I still have a couple of cards to make! Great video!

Thanks for the tutorial and the chance to win Handy Man cartridge! I've been so busy and know that I am running out of time to get my hand made cards done!!! I'm getting together with a couple gf's this weekend to try to get some more done. I still need to do some gift sewing for our residents at work too. Ugh....time is flying too fast!
Happy Holidays everyone :)

Thank you for the tutorial! It was a great help!
And, I've been looking at that cartridge and debating whether to get it or not! With all of my husband's projects he had been doing lately, it would be nice to make him a scrapbook!
Thanks again!

I can only make cards for close friends and family... never enough time!! Thanks for all your ideas and videos!!
Thanks for the tutorial!
as a newbie to Cricut I really appreciate your blog. Love all the past projects that I can browse though.
Nope - not even started!! Its going to be the picture kind ordered at the drug store this year!! Like to make cards for all the other seasons, but to mass produce Christmas cards is just too much!! Maybe next year!!
ctibbmn at yahoo dot com
I got the pictures back for my cards, but wasn't fond of them so I have to wait for retakes to do my cards :( Thanks for the tutorial and the chance to win.
I'm hoping to get all my cards done this weekend but it's looking grim!:(
Happy Craftin'

I've started my Christmas cards, but no, I haven't finished them yet. I still have 22 days--what's the rush!!!! LOL!!!! Jan TGJGJGJGat AOLdotCOM
This will be a perfect cart for making things for the guys in my life. Thanks too for the info on leaving a comment....I often do so after checking email!
If I was as talented as you I would be done with my cards by now, but it takes me forever to come up with an idea! On top of that, I also do up boxes of cards for all occasions as gifts and I have been working on those for the past few weeks. Hopefully I will find some time to get it all done!!
I have finished my christmas cards & even got them posted to everyone which is unusual for me I'm usually late doing them.
I don't make holiday cards - only compose a holiday letter. Birthdays and other special occasions throughout the year get the handmade cards.
Thanks for the chance to win this great cartridge!! Haven't even started on my cards yet....yikes!!
No, I'm sad to say that I haven't even started my card making!
Thanks for the tutorials, they help tremendously.
Terrific as always!
Thanks for tutorial!
I wish that I had my cards finished I havent even started. We have been in and out of hospitals so much I haven't been able to think straight.
It's Dec. 3rd of course my cards are not done yet! :)
Yeah! Finished my cards and stuffed them in the envelopes yesterday!
This cartridge is great for my sier, for her handy man husband.

I am about 3/4 done with my cards. I always do 2 batches... and hopefully it will be enough to get started on the mailing for next year. thanks so much. I get such great ideas here.
I am almost to the addressing and mailing part. Still have to write the Christmas letter and add this years family collage on the back.

No, I haven't even started my Christmas cards or shopping. I thank you for the tutorial on how to post comments. I'm always see contest on posting a comment but never knew how to do it. Need to get busy doing and quit procrastinating.
Dillie from Alabama
As always thanks for the helpful video. 35 Christmas cards are not done yet. Outside done now working on inside. Hopefully completed this weekend.
HI, I haven't even started on my cards. Time to get started.
This may be a repete. Would love the cartridge. But more, I would like explanation of digital images for Cricut. Where do you store them? and how do you cut with them? I am not transitioning very well to Cricut Craft Room. Still like my Design Studio. It is easier staying with something you know. Thanks
I'm working on home remodeling scrapbooks pages right now and this cartridge would be perfect!
working on my cards...thanks for the great tutorials.
I have not finished my cards yet. Made 8 more last night.
Thanks for the tutorial!
Very handy tutorial for new or inexperienced people! My cards are started, but on hold, I'm afraid. Note to others, never think you can live in a house getting new floors and drywall during the reno - drviing me crazy!!
I'm a hallmark girl when it comes to cards. I'd rather scrapbook!

I kept saying I have to start my christmas cards... but i kept procrastinating so sadly I did the boring old photo card... My family is going to be so mad since they all enjoy my home made cards but with an active 8 months old this year, it was too much!! haha... Better luck next year I guess.
Whoo Hooo! finished my Christmas cards last weekend!
p.s great tutorial!
