making photo cards more special for Christmas

I confessed earlier that I will not have time to make handmade Christmas cards again this year. But then I picked up our photo cards and...they weren't special enough. I even paid extra for gold foil accents this year, but the printing is less than ideal (with random white spots on every card). Bah humbug! So I decided to spend some time every evening working on making the envelopes more special. This Lawn Fawn stamp set,  Say What? Christmas Critters , was in my new stamp pile and I knew I wanted to use it for something this year. It's geared more for tags, but also works great to personalize the back flap of an envelope. Now excuse me while I go color 50 reindeer! Supplies Stamp set: "Say What?

freshly stitched Christmas gift tags

I had to give up my plan for homemade Christmas cards again this year. Life just gets too busy sometimes. But I did order a gold foiled photo card, and I have some special tags ready for Santa's delivery on Christmas Eve. If time allows I plan to make a few sets of gift tags to give to some crafty family members.
