  3. I like all of them but if I have to pick a favorite I think it would be the first one. Thanks for sharing with us.

  4. This was really hard to pick out just one card. I love #9 because I just love blue and white on Christmas cards. #5 is right up there with #9. Thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I love card #2. It's just so elegant and dainty and such a pretty shade of green. Love it!

  6. OMG I love them all. If I must pick I think #1 is my favorite but 3 and 5 are really close. Thank you for your inspiration. Your work is stunning.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Wow, it is very hard to pick just one favorite card from these! I am going to pick #9 because it has such a peaceful feeling to me! Thanks for the review of the cards and also for a chance to win just for enjoying them again!

    ReplyDelete
  8. As I said on Joan's blog this was a really hard choice. I really like #9. I picked up that Christmas tree at a stamp show some time ago and really like the fact that it can make a stunning yet simple card or a really elegant card like yours. I really enjoy your blog and thank you for all your wonderful inspiration.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I like all of them, but if I have to pick one, it will be # 9.

  10. Talk about a difficult decision....LOL....your cards are all so beautiful, as is all your artwork. If I have to choose one fav, I would say #3 because this one seems like it would be easy to switch colors of the ornament background while keeping the basic layout the same. You really are talented.

    Thanks for the chance to win a prize.

  11. Oh my Selma....this is a real hard decision because each card is more beautiful than the next.

    For me...I chose card #7. It is so soft and pretty and love the embossed background as well. I just love the Poinsettia Marianne Designs LR0122 dies. I don't have any Christmas poinsettia die sets etc. So...I admire looking at Christmas cards with poinsettias on them.

    Thanks for a chance to play along.
    Hugs and blessings...Leanne

    ReplyDelete
  12. I LOVE card #4! The soft colors and great layering! Love that PB stamp!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Selma they are aLL BEAUTIFUL, but I can remember all the "stir" #1 caused...lol...it is a favorite of mine and I think one of the cards that really got me into all those gorgeous dies!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Well these cards are all gorgeous - what a hard decision. It's narrowed down to 2 cards. #4 and #9.
    I love the elegance of #4 and the poinsettia. I love the peaceful feel of #9 and I love the blue and white. If I have to choose only one I think it'll be #9.
    Thanks so much for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  15. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the cards. I must pick between #3; #4; #7; #9; #11. If I absolutely must choose one I'll take #7. They are all beautiful and such wonderful ideas.

  16. I love the purple and silver ornaments. So stunning
    I think it is #3
    Lynda

    ReplyDelete
  17. LOVE all your cards but it is a tie btwn #3 & #7. So @ Joan's I said #3, here #7 gets my vote for its tone on tone beauty. Must have Spellbinder's to make beautiful additions to cards :+)

    ReplyDelete
  18. It is so wonderful to see all your Christmas cards in a row! They are all beautiful and any one would be thrilled to receive one!! Like I wrote on Joan's... it too hard to pick just one, but I finally narrowed it down to 3 and then read about them. You won me over with Distress Inks and Perfect Pearls on that gorgeous poinsettia on card #4. So my choice is card 4. :o)

    ReplyDelete
  19. I am having a really difficult time deciding which is mt favorite. i I love them all. But I am picking #9. I love the soft colors and the quiet of the card. Beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love ALL of them. I especially love #4. The flower is stunning.

  21. We all seem to have the same issue, each of these cards is beautiful in its own right. If I have to pick one, I choose #2. Your work is always exciting and beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  22. You know it is all but impossible for me to choose just one card - they are all so awesome!! The soft colors and the Sizzix Holly Swirls got my vote after looking and looking and re-looking at them several times. I love all your creations and keep Joan busy with orders! Thank you so very much for sharing with us.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I have to pick #7. It is so eye appealing. Selma, I love ALL of your creations. So it really is hard to pick just one as a favorite. You web site and Joans are the first ones I go to each day. Thank you for sharing with us out here.

  31. Selma - all of your cards are lovely. My favorite is Card #1 -because I like the Country House die cut the best - I can see many possibilities with that die cut. Have a great week!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Selma, I love them all. They are just beautiful. I especially love #10 but will have to go with my heart and choose #11 for the true meaning of Christmas which is not found nearly enough these days. I love your site! Blessings...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Your cards are all unbelieveably beautiful. I love the poinsettias and will choose #10 (and #7). It is too hard to choose just one. #1 with the pop up is awesome too. Thanks for sharing. Glenda

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh Selma, it was and continues to be card #1. I plan on getting it done this year since I bought all the dies last year..LOL

    ReplyDelete
  35. I definitely have to pick card #7.

    gettin' inky...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hi Selma, I love all of them, but I am voting for #2. My favorite product that you used on the card are the deer. I love the all white on the green background and especially how you use the border punch for the mounds of snow. Lorna

  38. Picking one of your cards as my favourite would be trying to choose which child I like the best. All your cards are extremely elegant and beautiful. I was going back and forth between 4 and 7 and the margin is so close on both these poinsettia cards ..... but, drum roll, I settled on No. 7. Thanks for sharing your great works of art!!!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Selma, every card is as always, beautiful. I have to pick card # 1; I just adore that house and the whole card reminds me of a scene out of Charles Dickens. The snow, the night sky (blue) and that house and tree are just so cute. And the pop up JOY reminds me of Christmas decorations in Chicago suburbs, back home.

    ReplyDelete
  56. My vote is for #1. I love the tree, house and it pops up. It has it all. Thanks for sharing your talent.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Selma, you and Joan are the greatest! a chance to win a spellbinders die--how fab. My favorite item used in these cards is the Christmas tree HCPC3432 used in card number 9. It looks so realistic--I want to hang ornaments on it.

  66. Wow! Hard to choose! They are all gorgeous. I was going to say #3 because I love ornaments and the color purple, but then I saw #10 and that was the winner hands down. This is more than a card - it is a work of art worthy of display on a mantel or a shelf. Lovely!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Selma, these cards are unbelievable. ALL of them. I think my favorite is #7 . I love the flower on it and I love the color. I also love #11 (The poinsette one as I think this is more of a show piece). It is beautiful as all of your cards are. You are the very best at these types of cards... Thank you for the opportunity...

    ReplyDelete
  107. Oh my goodness. You expect us to be able to choose???? They are all so pretty it is very difficult. So if I must choose, I will go with # 7. I really like the gentle colors of the card and I really like the embossed background.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I love all of your cards so it is really hard to choose but I think my favorite is No. 1 - JOY Pop-up card. Thanks for re-posting your Christmas cards and for the chance to win a prize,

    ReplyDelete
  109. Oh My! This is a near impossible task to select just one card when each one is so beautiful! However, I think I will go with card #3. I love the non-traditional colors of royal purple with the silver and white. The big purple bow is gorgeous, the silver embossed background is beautiful, and those purple tree ornaments are stunning. And, of course, I am humming the words to "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear"! LOVE IT!

    Thanks for allowing us to revist all these glorious cards!

  110. These are the most gorgeous collection of Christmas cards I have ever seen. And you want us to pick our favourite? Oh my, that's tough. I guess I'll have to go with "Silent Night". But down in my heart of hearts, they are all my favourites.

    ReplyDelete
  111. #1 is my favorite, but it certainly is difficult to pick. So much talent here.

    ReplyDelete
  112. it's hard to decide which one I like the most I like them all LOL
    I guess # 4 and # 7 are the one I will pick if I was to have them
    thanks for sharing

    ReplyDelete
  113. Selma, your cards are all so beautiful, but I would say my favorites are #1 first of all, and #3 for a close second. The #12 card is also very awesome. You are a great inspiration. Thanks for sharing all the time :)

    ReplyDelete
  114. Boy this is a hard one, I love number 1 with the Memory Box dies, but I have to go with Number 4 as my very favorite because I love the Spellbinders and Heartfelt Poinsettia. But to be really fair I love them all, you do such wonderful cards each and everyday, I wonder sometimes if you every sleep. But go ahead and get some rest once in awhile. because we need you to be on top all the time.

    Hugs,
    Gretchen

  115. My favorite is #4 (but #1 is a close second). I love the soft nontraditional colors and that gorgeous poinsettia.

    ReplyDelete
  116. As I said on Joan's blog, it was really difficult to choose, These are such beautiful cards. I chose #2 as my favorite, and #11 as second favorite, but I'll bet if I looked at them again tomorrow, I would have a different selection because it was so hard to decide!

    That Marvelous Squares die is so gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Wow! Such beautiful cards and it is so hard to pick just one but will go with #2 since I love the deer and all of the Memory Box dies.

    ReplyDelete
  118. really hard to choose!!!

    OK, I guess my favorite is the purple and silver ornaments.

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  119. What a difficult choice. I saw #10 last year and very quickly purchased the stamps so I guess that is the one for me. However, #1 is a very close second.

    ReplyDelete
  120. They are all so wonderful! I think #9 is my favorite. Thank you for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  121. It is so hard to choose, these cards are awesome. I think #2. The colors are so vibrant on this card.

    ReplyDelete
  122. If I have to choose only one, it would have to be #1. So beautiful! I just love the Memory Box dies and would never have thought up using them like this. Thanks for the inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  123. Selma, they are all gorgeous! I think I love #4, the Poinsettia the best. The colors are exquisite!

  125. It's not easy, they are all beautiful ! My favorite is the card #7, I love its Labels shape, the soft color that gives me a peace feeling, and the delicate poinsettia ! And what about the holly embossed background ? I love each detail !

  136. #2 and I'd like to say why ~ because it is a beautiful monochromatic done with gorgeous die cuts ~ you used your dies to create such a serene and elegant Nature Scene. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

  142. It has to be #1 as that was the first card I saw of your creations. I immediately fell in love with it and ordered all the dies. However, #2 is an exquisite card also. Thank you so much for sharing your inspirations with us.

  143. Very hard to choose but I just love card #1. I love the colors and the whole wintery feel of the card.

  144. Hi, Selma,

    I love your card #7 for its beautiful elegant simplicity. My favorite product for your Christmas card uses is the twiggy tree and the canopy. They are versatile for so many things.

    the ornaments and embossing. A very
    elegant card.

    Appreciate all the tutorials,too.

  147. My favorite is probably #9 for the tree on blue, but it is followed closely by #5, the all-white card. Each of the cards has features I like, though.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Impossible to choose really - you are torture cause I just do not want to choose one. Let's go for card #1. All of them are so pretty Glenda!

    ReplyDelete
  149. It's almost impossible to choose just one, my favs are #1,7, and 9. I guess I'll say #1. I love the blue and white, the house is awesome and I love the pop up! Hugs

    ReplyDelete
  150. Selma,

    All the cards are to be cherished -I looked at these all day and decided #6 "Winter Collage".

    ReplyDelete
  151. Wow! They are all incredibly beautiful. If you force me to pick just one, I guess it is #4. I love the way the poinsettia fills the card and the wonderful layering.

    Hugs, antonella :-)

  157. I love #9 - it is elegant and I love the simplicity of the tree,
    snowflakes & border. I had a hard
    time choosing between three but settled on #9 as a real Christmas
    message. Thanks for sharing you talent with us.

    ReplyDelete
  158. All of the cards are absolutely beautiful!! You're making it so hard! .... But I pick #10....love those pop-up cards!!

    ReplyDelete
  159. Let me begin by saying that all of the cards are gorgeous, so making a choice for my favorite isnt easy...but since we don't get "White Christmas's" in Vancouver, Washington, I will have to choose #9. I love the snowflake background, and the way that the snow frosts the tree. The product I love the most on this card is the Anastasia Border you used on the top of the card. It really adds an elegant touch to the card. Thanks for the opportunity.
    Sincerely,
    Dianna Towner

  167. Number 10 just blew me away last year and still does for the coming year. I had to buy everything you used in this great card to try my hand with it.. But Selma, just about all the cards you make are truly outstanding. Keep 'em coming!

  171. Number 4 is my favorite. It has an understated elegance. I love the coloring on the poinsettia (that die is awesome!) and the background details with the beautiful ribbon bow are a perfect compliment. I just have to cage this card!

  172. Selma, it is very hard to choose only one card, actually there is 3 cards that I like very much, no 2-9 and 10 but I think I have a little more favor for NO 2. Thank you very much for sharing all that lovely Christmas collection with us and to give a chance to win a lovely price.

  173. I like #1 and #2 if I have to pick but I love them all

  174. I think it would be a hard choice for me between Card number one, because it is something I would like to try to do or the number 3 card because I love using the dark purples. They are all beautiful tho.

    ReplyDelete
  175. I think #3 however they are all beautiful.Thank-You for sharing you wonderful cards with us....
