Winter Thank You Notes

We had a snow day yesterday and didn't get to have our Christmas party at school.  So for my thank you notes for my students, I wanted to make something that wasn't so Christmasy since they won't be getting them until January.  I went to my retired Christmas Designer Series Paper to find a pattern I had enough of that would allow for several 3 x 4 pieces of the same thing.  I need to make several and want something I can put together pretty quickly.   This Real Red and Baja Breeze combination feels wintery and thanks to my Jolly Bingo Bits set, it's a one stamp card and done.

Four Seasons Christmas Card


 
We started making Christmas cards at my Christmas in July Stamp-a-Stack, and I was sure to make a set for myself at every Christmas event I did.  BUT there is one problem when your stamping friends stamp with you -- they have made all of my cards too!  So here's the card they got in the mail.

Smore Snowman

 
I finally decided to part with this smore snowman card that I made in my pre-blogging days.   That's one of the nice things about having a blog - you can keep a virtual copy of all the cards you ever make!

Christmas Tags Galore!

 
Last night was my one stamp-a-stack a year that we don't actually stamp a stack of card.  At the December stamp-a-stack, we make Christmas tags. Everyone went home with 30 tags last night!

Christmas Window Easel Card


We have made easel cards before in stamp club, but I wanted to do another to use my new framlit.  To make this one a little different, we made a "stained glass window".  What's really neat about this card is that you can put a battery operated candle behind it for an added glow.

Santa Belt Gift Card Holder

Here's a quicker gift card holder if you have a number of them to make.  It's a swing card just like the Santa I posted Saturday, but it is horizontal, and has a lot fewer parts.

Santa Gift Card Holder

 
 
This turned out to be a popular project at stamp club.  I first saw the idea of the Santa face made this way on Pinterest.  It was made by Diana Ball-Seitz, and she used it as a gift tag.  I usually do a gift card holder as one of my Christmas projects, so I made it into a swing card to hold a gift card.
