It is always hard for me to make Christmas cards way earlier than December, as many people do, so I end up having more than I need to do once Thanksgiving rolls around. I am trying to train myself to think Christmas earlier each year if I am going to want to make cards for people. This year I am about two weeks earlier than usual, so I am pleased with my "progress!"
I am using Maymay's Adore Him stamp set this year and I really like the sentiments included in the set. So far I have made six cards all basically the same design, using an old die set for a snow globe from Paper Wishes along with the new stamps.
I embossed a piece of vellum paper and attached it to the front of the card, then made a narrow frame to go around the outside edges. That way the vellum is protected where it wants to tear from the embossing. I also colored a circle of vellum to place behind the stamp of the holy family, and added a few white snowflake dots around the image. The edge of the globe is three layers thick just to give a bit of extra life to the card, the top layer is cut from holographic paper.
