I'm making a bunch of Xmas cards again this year, but this time I'm doing them in batches of 10. Makes it easier to keep track of and I don't get as bored with repetitive designs. Most of the cards use my calligraphic Peel Offs which are available through Paper Pastimes here in Calgary, or on line with the Canadian Peel Offs representative under the name of Elizabeth Craft Designs. There are four colors of each (silver, gold, black & white) and about a dozen word types available now with a couple more coming out in the new year.

All these cards are done on white cardstock. They are 4.25w x 5.5h and are $4.00 each.

All the cards are punched out on one edge with a snowflake border punch which, when I'm using the Pan Pastels colors the border on the inside too. I used Fancy Pants Designs Blissful Season #773 clear rubber stamp set (it's a biggie). Some I used the Ranger resist stamp pad, on others I colored the background first then stamped with pigment ink and thermal embossed. I usually over stamped to create a shadow like effect. Filled in some of the open spaces in the Peel Offs with Ritz Glitz micro fine glitter.

Added the funky fibres on one of them to coordinate with the card.

For the inside, I did a calligraphic quote with a 2.4 Parallel Pen and Moon Palace Sumi Ink, scanned it, then shrunk to size and printed it off onto white linen paper.
