We celebrated our day with a small, intimate gathering at the Tower. After stamping images on plain white cs for future use, we made this one acetate card. We thought of making up our own greeting inside of "Have you been naughty or nice?" but decided to use "Wishing you peace and joy this holiday season" or "Ho! Ho! Ho!" instead.
The image was stamped in gold ink on white cs and mounted on the front of the card with the green cs behind it on the inside of the front. The kraft piece was mounted on the outside of the back panel with the greeting attached on the inside of the card.
When we finished the card, we cleaned up the table and had lunch. Joan received the door prize of a clear Christmas stamp set.
TIP: If a stamp doesn't stamp evenly, check out the ink coverage on it before you stamp. I find that "working" the stamp does a better job of eliminating lighter spots than pressing harder on the paper. Simply rub firmly with your thumb or two fingers on the back of the stamp before releasing it from the paper. This usually does the trick!
Also, as you can see in the second photo, acetate static "attracts" dust and fingerprints, so be sure to clean off your card before slipping it into an envelope for mailing.
