My Christmas Card

 

Do you make your Christmas cards?  This year I chose to use All Ye Faithful to make my Christmas Cards.  Once again I waited too long to start them! Every year I tell myself to start as soon as the Holiday Catalog comes out, but things keep me busy and they always trump starting my cards.  Next year I really hope to begin them in October.     

 

 

 

When I fist came up with this design, I thought of embossing it, but then I quickly reminded myself of the last time I heat embossed my Christmas cards.  If I had started early I would have embossed them, but I thought it sill looked nice without the embossing.

I decided to make the same card in 2 different colors, so here is the Elegant Eggplant version.  I originally started doing a second color because I didn't want to wait for my order to come with more gold vellum, but I ended up liking having 2 colors.  I like them both.  

 

 

The inside greeting is:

May the wonder of that first Christmas,

the joy of God's abundant blessings, and 

the peace of the Lord be with you always.

I love the greeting!
