Thanks so much Valerie! I love the embossed piece too, though I was a bit hesitant at first to use the swirly one. I’m so glad I did!

You are so sweet Lauren! Favorite card ever?! That makes it worth all the work. Next year we will be scaling it back (I hope…), but I also hope that the results will be just as awesome! Not that we have a plan for next years yet. (Seriously, we don’t).

I am also so happy to have found you and this little (or not so little!) blogging tribe. And sentimental is great! It’s been a tough season for me, and having you all around (blogging and on facebook) has really helped keep my spirits up, which is where they should be for the holiday season!

*Blushes* Gee thanks Janice! Now I kinda wish you were on my Christmas card list! Good luck with finding an embosser you like! We have two, a small hand crank one and the Tim Holtz Vagabond. I love the vagabond because it also does die cuts, but then again, I got that before I had my silhouette! There are many different options in between as well, and there are all sorts of fun embossing folders! Plus, embossing folders all work the same, so you don’t have to stick to the brand of embosser that you purchase for the folders (in my experience).

Oh my word, this might be my favorite handmade Christmas card ever! You get to decorate your own snowman (or woman)?! I’m in love! And you’re smart to divide this up into multiple tutorials. Otherwise, I could see this being more like a novella than a blog post.

Sooooo thankful that happed upon my blog and that we’ve become blog buddies, Kristy. You are a wealth of knowledge and inspiration, and also a dose of sunshine on dreary days. (Sorry, it’s the holidays that make me sentimental.) Thanks for helping to make this month’s Challenge & Giveaway possible!

Holy Moly! My kids would LOVE to receive a handmade sticker card! Heck! I’d love to receive one! This is so amazing! I hope everyone who was lucky enough to get one knows how special they are now, I MUST shop for an embosser asap! So much inspiration! Thank you!

Thanks Bethany! The embossing really did end up making a big difference. It’s really pretty easy to do as well! I used my electric machine, but we also have a texture boutique that’s hand powered and was relatively inexpensive (we even got it on sale half off). It brings in a lot of bang for your buck!

Aww, thanks Rachel! You should! It’s fun! And people seem to really like them. I love that we do hand made cards because there are some people (like my aunts and uncles) that I just can’t gift to anymore. So making them cards is my way of sending a little something their way.
