Last year I got to open my Cricut Explore early to do my Christmas Cards. And then I couldn't decide which design to do- Having the subscription in Design Space gives you so many free options!
Here's what I settled on:

The candy canes needed a friend, a glitter nosed- friend |
Though they are nothing spectacular, I immediately appreciated just how easy it was to create in Design Space. While I had struggled to understand weld and some of the more complex features, cutting a make it now card or just a simple design was SO EASY.
I'm a sucker for glitter and sparkle, so I added some glitter to otherwise basic cards. This year I'm hoping to use my new cuddle bug to really create something fantastic.
