Let It Snow – Merry Little Christmas

I know I should probably have used a  different title for this post.  Our weather in the midwest has been very fall like — temps in the mid 50’s and higher some days but it looks like winter is trying to blow its way into the area over the next couple of days and temps drop to around freezing.  It is December 5th after all — I wouldn’t mind seeing a little snow about now to help everyone get into the holiday spirit.  This card has a soft elegance about it with a little texture from the Softly Falling embossing folder and the Silver Metallic Thread.

Blessed Christmas Wishes with Night in Bethlehem

I have fun making cute, whimsical Christmas cards but I also enjoy and need some religious cards.  The real reason for the season after all is the birth of Jesus.  The Night in Bethlehem stamp set is perfect for those special cards.  This card tells the story of Joseph & Mary’s travels to the city of Bethlehem quite well.

 

Night in Bethlehem, Christmas, Holy Family
This one doesn’t take long to cut — just a bunch of stamping.
