My Homemade Christmas Cards for 2011

I made 42 of these homemade Christmas Cards.  I prayed that God would inspire me to create a card that I could bless others and him with. This was the design that unfolded and I started working on these in September and did not finish until the first week of December. Lot's of detail went into these cards, hand stamped, colored, glittered and lots of layers. I used clear rubber stamps, my Cricut Machine, Big Shot Machine, dollies, glitter, Martha Stewart Snow Flake Punch, Stamping Up paper and stamps, Martha Stewart Snow Flake Stamps, embellishments, scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby, ribbon from Micheal's Craft Store, Copic Markers and lots of love.  I'm not sure next years card will be so intricate.  I also decided to pick 4 of my high school friends from Facebook to give these cards to, that I normally don't interact with except on Facebook and I loved doing that and I will do this again. If you click on any one of my pictures you can see it up close. If I did not give you one I am sorry, I would not want to hurt you.  This also cost me a $1.71 to mail each card because of the weight of the card.  The furthest I mailed a card to was the Netherlands, to my crafty friend Corey.  Corey's cost more to mail of course.  I hope you like it as much as I do as you can see this cards  4 sections to it; first it lays flat, then you open the first page that say's Christ is Born and right across from that I wrote my notes to my friends; then you flip it again to that white plain paper and across from that is the little stamp that reads May the true spirit of Christmas fill your heart with peace and your home with love and finally that plain white part and the front of the card is tucked behind that last stamp I just mentioned and it stands up all on it's own.  Neat huh!
