I worked with Blessed is the Season for tonight's project. I thought the images and sentiments would be PERFECT to create a holiday greeting card. Because my oldest child has relatives who live far---I thought this would be a great idea for the holidays to send them a greeting from her:
I used some red hot cardstock and added a black and white photo. I embossed* the sentiment along the side of the photo (do this first before adding the photo!) and then stitched along the edges of the picture.
I punched the snowflakes and added a fun smaller snowflake I created by embossing the emblem design in the set in white on red cardstock. Then, I punched through to get a very cool design on my snowflake. I added a red button and some silver cording.
(*You can find all the products you need to heat emboss images HERE.)
Next, I created a decorative vellum envelope that would be a cute topper for a gift. I embossed the dove image and cut around it before punching a hole and attaching it to the ribbon. I stitched the sides of the vellum so the card slides in and out easily with a shift of the ribbon:
