I made this card for a couple of my neighbors this year.  The tumbling snowmen are having such a fun time.

Here are a few gifts I made this year besides the ornaments.  Crackers filled with candy for my daughter and her boyfriend.

Gift card holder for my son.

And of course I can’t leave out the penguin popup.  My daughter’s boyfriend asked me to make him something for Christmas so this is what I came up with.  Once it pops up there is a message for him to check his email for his real gift.

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.”
