warm winter wishes card

When I was demoing the Cricut last week in Michigan, I made some Christmas cards for demos.  We had the Winter Woodland cartridge and it was the first time I had the chance to use it.   For the Warm Winter Wishes card I used the Winter Woodland cartridge exclusively.

This cards looks really cool in person.  I used Winter Woodland and Storybook.  I put glossy accents on the corner swirls.  You also can't really tell from the picture but the paper is sparkly.

This is an in-progress photo of my own personal Christmas cards.  I brought some paper from home (Stampin' UP's Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red) to cut out with the Cricut.  SU paper in the Cricut?  Not that impressive.  It didn't cut out as nice as some of the other paper brands we had on hand.  Oh well.  I used Doodlecharms for the trees.  I can't remember where the Season's Greetings sentiment came from.  Maybe Wild Card?

Do you all make your own Christmas cards?  What is your opinion on Christmas letters?  Do you include them or not?
