Star of Light in Heaven

What kind of Christmas cards do you make — fun & silly or serious, religious?
I like to make some of each.  The Star of Light stamp set in this year’s Holiday Catalog fit my serious/religious cards this year.  It is a beautiful, elegant stamp set — the greetings say it all!!!
Here is another swap card I received at our last demo make & take (I apologize — there was no name on the card to give credit to).  I love the Night of Navy and Whisper White.  The White Embossing Powder makes it pop.

Star of Light
The creator used Gold Foil Sheet for the large background star with a Whisper White cut out star (both were cut using the coordinating Starlight Thinlits).  I think this would also be pretty with a Silver Foil star in the background.  I love the addition of the three tiny pearls in the lower left corner.  It adds to the spattering of stars.

The inside says is “Became the Light of the World”.  I think this phrase is wonderful and reminds us all of what Christmas is all about.

Hang Your Stocking Hobby Horse

I love when a stamp set or framelit can be used in a way that isn’t what you expect.  I received this swap card which used the Christmas Stocking framelit and it’s not used to make a stocking.
Stocking Horse Closed
Isn’t this adorable?  She turned the stocking upside down and made it a hobby horse.  Do you remember “riding” this all over the house as a kid?  We played for hours with one of these.
She made the door open up like a barn door and stamped the greeting inside.

Country Livin’ Happy Birthday

I just came across this card from a swap I participated in a while back — I don’t think I shared it before (if I did — it is that good to share again).  I love this card, it is simple but pops so well.  This card makes me think of my friend Rorie.  The stamp is Country Livin’ — one I thought I would never own but I love it.  It also features the Hardwood background stamp.

I think this card was created by Cathy — she did a great job water coloring — such great highlights on the boots.  I need to pull this stamp set out and make some more of these.
