Although this is Christmas Eve I still sent out some cards to friends and close neighbors.  I always like to surprise them and put them in their mailbox with a little item that I made.

My first card, Noel, was stamped on red card stock and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. For the pine leaves I stamped them with green ink and added red stickle glue for the berries. The inside I have a simple sentiment, “Making spirits bright.”

My second card I used green card stock and stamped some pine leaves for a background.  I added some green patterned paper to one side and die cut a gold leave and holly rectangle.  I stamped and embossed the words Seasons Greetings on the front in gold and added,”Tidings of comfort and joy on the inside.”

If you know me I love cards that do things not just open on the side, so for this card I call it the pullout card, because as you pull on the side it gets bigger and bigger.

I first stamped and colored the horse and sleigh then I stamped two additional horses for each of the pullouts.  I stamped “Wishing you a Season of Cheer” on the front, and a Happy New Year on the back.

Last year I made friends and family this cute tealight angel.  I gave everyone a battery powered tealight to put behind the angel. Below I show how she looks not lit and also how she looks with the tealight on.

So this year I made different ornaments and sent them out to friends and family. They were fun to make and very easy.  The black one you can’t tell but the snowflake part I used silver glitter paper.
