I do have a papercut art business and some people, no matter where they live, still need Christmas cards. I personally send my handmade holiday cards to a few friends back in the UK, while other people require cards to send to their clients abroad. After all, they are celebrating Christmas, even if we're not.
This year's cards have brightly coloured Christmas trees on them. It was fun to cut out the simple triangular shape of the tree and add some "twinkling" lights. My trees were not dissimilar to the trees we spotted at the YMCA in Jerusalem, below. I read about a Christmas Holiday Bazaar being held there and was intrigued enough to go and have a look. As it happens the trees were just about the best thing there. I got it right with my cards though. One customer wrote to say "Thank you for the cards. They're perfect - so much nicer than the ones in the shops."

Thank you for this post of acceptance. Thank you for telling about. 🤗
It's necessary to see what each people celebrate.
In the last four weeks I wrote in my posts of the small things finding Christmas feeling.
It's not the luxury - it's a smile between two persons. I will looking for understanding
Hanukkah!
Now I wish you a wonderful time.

Sorry for my lateness. Yes, you are living at the place of Christmas! You only sing when no one is home?(am smiling - are you a bathroom singer too?) Many thanks for sharing these fun Christmas trees with ALL SEASONS! My wish is for your business to grow exponentially!
Your Christmas cards are lovely thank you forsharing fine talent with us.
I have some Jewish friends who enjoy the festive season with us as it is
a time of joy and giving, but of course they celebrate Chanukah. as you do.
Every good wish to you for a Happy and peaceful Chanukah,
and Christmas wishes from ABCW.
Best wishes,

I'm the Jew who loves Christmas too! I have the radio station on all season and love the cheer and holiday lights. It's felt weird to not have Chanukah yet!
I love your cards... simple but really effective

Your cards are so bright and cheery! I love how you used nontraditional colors. I would not have thought to use purple in the background and it works wonderfully! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

I love your cards, Lisa, and all of your posts throughout the year! Happy Hanukkah to you and your family.
Your Christmas cards are adorable Lisa! Growing up I wished I was Jewish since the festivities last longer. :) Christmas certainly is a lot of fun though with its decorations, carols, etc.
I love your Christmas tree card..
Merry Christmas...
Festive! I made my own cards this year too. A photo card glued with a real photo. Happy New Year!
Ah Freilichen Chanukah! My son got some small seeds for a Christmas tree. I've read on the label that it's a fir tree. So cute. If it succeeds, we'll plant te small trees in the forest close to our house. Waiting for the first green shoots now ...
Wonderful Christmas trees! :)
Happy Hanukkah!
These cards are beautiful! I love your color choices! Thank you for sharing at Tuesdays with a Twist! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
