UPDATE! The results are posted here!
Come on down to Etsy's voter tool and select your favorite holiday card from a pool of 60! Since there are so many talented Etsy artists to choose from in the Paper Goods Category and Holiday Category, help the Storque editors pick which top cards should be featured in the Gift Guides and here, on Etsy's blog.
Voting ends at 12:30pm (EST) on Friday, November 14, 2008. Tell your friends to come and vote (see the "email to a friend" link below ). Tell 'em to come in a hurry so they can get their cards before they sell out! Don't be like me: one of those slow pokes who forgets to send holiday cards until halfway through January!

So hard to choose! I liked the red felted one,
because I have been wanting to try that material myself.
I offer many Christmas designs as well, and love custom orders!

I've admired the "Classic Car" card before... way cool! If you're looking for a creative Christian card, check out ours!

Echoing JustAnotherDay's question -- how did these cards get selected?

We want to do a bunch of these voting posts - ornaments is a great idea. The pool of 60 was selected by admin.

These elves in the big picture bring back sweet and meloncholy memories from my childhood. These little guys were everywhere dressed mostly in green and red and when I see them I remember our Christmases as a family, then with just our mom and grandparents, and now with my own family....and since I haven't got my cards listed yet I had a good look at the others and they are all so amazing!
Congratulations to all!

Ahhhh! I just stopped by to check out the cards and vote, and I discovered that one of mine is featured in the mini under the article. What a pleasant surprise!

Nice idea. I have not picked a favorite yet since I feel I must click on every entry to make a final decision.
I like the ornament idea as well, as you can tell from my new avatar, lol.

Oh my goodness!

Love the ornament idea, too.

Etsians spoke and you listened! People have been expressing their desire to be part of the gift guide selection and you listened! Thanks so much.
anniebee
thank you so much for featuring my deer! what a wonderful surprise :) best of luck to everyone!

I agree with RocketScienceShop. I think it is wonderful that you are letting "the people" be apart of the gift guide selection process. Of course, it will be hard to choose just one... LOL!
Vanessa
Rock the vote! This is so much fun watching the votes roll in. Can't wait to see who wins.

Thank you for including my feisty Fa la la la la elf cards!! Great collection!

Great idea to let voters decide what gets into the gift guides.
Very nice mix of cards. I create custom portrait greetig cards, but I bet you won't find many like mine, which look like a hand drawn pencil portrait.

alas, they may be the last GOCCO holiday cards we ever get to make! :/

Rock on!!! Thank you for selecting my Christmas Vine photo card. So fun!

I voted for Galinblack's Christmas Angels Pop-Up Card because of the quality work and clever design. In this economic thrift time, the price of $4.50 is really good for a pop-up card.
While my pop-up cards are listed, I am new to Etsy and am guessing it takes time to be noticed.
Good luck to all entrants.

Thanks Etsy for selecting both my Christmas Ornament card and my Poinsettia Feliz Navidad card! A great surprise!
LoveleePrint
How were these chosen? I would've loved to have been considered! :/ They all are wonderful.
XOHandworks
Lots of great (& funny) cards, but not even ONE that hints at the religious origin of Christmas ?
I voted for the Hanukkah card even though I'm not Jewish -- call me traditional but I like to remember why we celebrate :)
BabyStepsDesign
Thank you so much for including one of my cards! I am new to Etsy and this is a great welcome.

When it comes to Christmas cards I have to have a nativity scene or something similar. Christmas with my family is always centered around the birth of Jesus so it's traditional for us.

Woo hoo! Thanks so much for including my Shiny Brite Sprites in your greeting card contest! I found these cute little elves and the Shiny Brite box while rummaging through some vintage Christmas decorations at my in-laws house. The Shiny Brite box still had all of the silver ornaments intact! I just HAD to use them in a Christmas card. Hopefully more to come! Thanks so much!

What a great surprise. Thanks so much for the nomination!

I design holiday cards too, so it is hard to decide which one is my favorite! I'll have to ponder the entries for a little while longer!!!

Lovely idea! I'm a watercolorist, card maker, and newbie and am impressed with the talent here at etsy! I voted...
pixiepotions
I bought my Halloween cards from Etsy. Gorgeous, better quality, cuteness and workmanship than any store bought cards I have purchased.
I knew I would be purchasing our Christmas cards from Etsy! Thank you for making it easier! :D
Off to shop! (and vote!)

thanks so much for nominating my card! This whole process is great fun :)
so many beautiful cards here...
SkeeseGreets
As they say, it's an honor just to be nominated. Thank you, I very much appreciate being among the 60. There are some really cool cards here.

vanessa, did admin choose these holiday cards from etsy as a whole, or from people who are in a certain showcase or something? just wondering. thanks! (i voted for hammerpress's cards...love them!)
punkahontas
I'm so happy to be part of this group, but the link to my Pirate Santa card doesn't work, so you can't see the best part! The inside reads "YO HO HO! Merry Christmas and Happy New Yeaarrgh!" Here is a link in case anyone wants to see: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...
I hope my little problem doesn't affect my votes, but as they say "It's an honor just to be nominated." Seriously!!!
Vanessa
I'm so sad I wasn't able to include everyone! The tool has a limit of 60 and I tried to find a random sampling - a variety of cards - from the holidays category and the paper goods category.
lncgreetings
wow this was such a wonderful feature, vanessa.... its so beautiful!
CarolLeeDesigns
YAY! As much as I wish it was a landslide in my favor, I'm SO happy that it was with the Dippylulu cards. They really do rock the heezy. :)
dippylulu
Thank you, thank you for all the votes, and I am very honored to be sharing the crown with CarolLeeDesigns. A Canadian and Brit win!

I was just browsing and kojodesigns quickly caught my eye. Not only was it a Christmas Card, but part of the card doubled as an ornament.

Hello- I've just added some new christmas cat cards am I too late?!

A ton of neat choices, but I love Dippy's card set. Not only 'cause I have crazy family (who doesn't?), but they're great parodies of the "Keep Calm" posters. Good luck everyone:)
