Santa's Jolly Holiday - Christmas Card

I usually make about a dozen holiday cards for my closest folks (and send about 50 store bought ones) and they’re often pretty personalized for the recipients. I had already set aside various stuff for each card, made notes, etc. BUT we have adopted a rescue puppy and this card which I started the day before her adoption took about 6 days so it’s pretty obvious I’m not going to get to make totally customized ones this year! Anyway, that’s why this one is getting its own topic.

The recipient is a hostess with the mostest so I thought this fun stripe would be great for her. She also collects Santas. This one is the same die set used to make my Lepreclaus decoration earlier this year. He’s on a action wobbler for extra jolliness!

The interior sentiment is stamped.

I have already shifted to a more production line idea for cards, but they will still be a bit personalized. I hope to start in them this weekend, since I will continue to have less uninterupted crafting time this season!

She is so cuuuute! How is Delia liking her?

And of course the card is delightful, you always do such a great job on them.

Aw, thanks! About the card and Vivienne. We lost Delia in July to cancer.

Oh no!!! I didn’t hear about Delia!:sob:

I’m so sorry!

But I’m glad that you have a new pup to love. :heart:

Thank you, friend! Losing Delia was sudden and heartbreaking. It was the longest either of us had gone w/o having a pet in since getting our first pets as adults. And now we have a new love in our family!
