Hi, Friends......
I am here with my final 2018 entry into Scrappy Mo's Rudolph Days November Challenge. It's the last one of the year and I have managed to enter each month this year...and so I am eligible for the extra drawing in December! YAY!!!
Our church participates in the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Program. My pastor's wife asked me if I could make some simple cards to include in each box. I made a whole pile (around 60 or so) of these super-easy cards by cutting and folding patterned cardstock and die-cutting either NOEL or JOY for the fronts. Inside I stamped "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" and a Nativity scene. The participants from our church wrote personal notes of Christmas greetings inside each one.
I meant to get a shot of all of the cards spread out over a table but I forgot!! lol... You can see one of the shoeboxes and some of the stack of cards in a basket with some of the participants writing notes in this photo:
There were a variety of patterns and colors, but here's a sampling of three of the cards:
Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - In a Word: Joy Cutaway die
Winnie & Walter - In a Word: Noel Cutaway die DCWV patterned, solid, and glitter cardstock
Thank you for stopping by today. I haven't been on here much because of Thanksgiving and also we have been busy getting ready for our Christmas Bell Choir and Valley Singers concerts. It's all fun.....but haven't been able to do much crafting. Hope your holiday season is lovely!!!
