I’m so glad you like it, @endymion! There is some plaid wrapping paper in the background, along with holiday scrapbook paper.

I’m happy you like it!
And I’m glad that it arrived before Christmas.
I hope my other cards won’t take to long. Especially since all of my fall happy mail to the US somehow was swallowed by the postal system.
Here is finally a pic of all the goodies from @Tapestry
So cute and what a wonderful idea to add a bag of tea. I suspect my daughter will steal the stickers for her ongoing Christmas crafts.
Thank you so much

I have received from @AIMR (the wreath card and ornament), from @wittychild (the three stockings) and from @LuckyDog (the penguin, Holger I like how it’s printed so it stands up nicely)
Thank you!!!

I received from @LuckyDog today! This one really took the scenic route, but it made it 
Thank you! I love the way it stands up for display.

It had such a short distance to travel … the post office never ceases to confuse me

It confuses me as well because sometimes I get mail from states 20 hours away the very next day but a check I mail an hour away takes 3 days or more! I don’t understand the system. I do find it amazing that a letter to Alaska or Hawaii costs the same as one I send to my neighbor!

I received a card from @Cindy today; it’s nice to see things are moving through Canada Post!
The buttons are affixed with glow in the dark glue; I’ll have to make a point of checking once the lights are out. What a fun detail!

Your card was the first that inspired me to try all different kinds of wreaths! It was a lot of fun experimenting. The ornament paper looked like some of the embroidery patterns that I have seen you do. It felt a bit vintage as well.
So glad all the cards made it!

The mail is very slow this year, though this is the fastest thing I’ve gotten from Canada in a long time!

How did you make the Christmas tree?

I used an embossing folder on the painted background papers I made, and then fussy painted the raised parts with a white paint pen. It took literally 8 coats and a ridiculous amount of time to get the needed opacity on each one. But I was already invested at that point 
(and actually really like how they turned out, so was glad I stuck with it).
