Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it’s time to get serious about making holiday cards. Last year, my husband went out and bought cards because I didn’t get enough ready in time for him to send out. This year, I am determined to have some ready for him to send out.

So I’ve got a production line going – so far ten cards (five variations on a design) are stamped, colored, glued, and ready to go. This is the first of the designs featuring the Jingle All the Way stamp set (with coordinating dies) from My Favorite Things. I love the whimsy of this stamp set and paired it with an equally whimsical paper by Doodlebug.

I may show the other variations in later posts. Or not! Got to have a few surprises to put in the mail.
