For the family cards, I used a variety of styles and techniques.  The first card is a tri-fold window pane.  Next come some traditional cards for the little girls and Micah. 

I tried some decoupage cards this year.  I was fairly happy with them, but the penguin base would not stay straight.  After lots of tinkering, I replaced it with a punch card.

I have had this Stampin Up stamp set for several years.  I loved the way it looked, but hadn't used it. It's called Holiday Line Up.   This year I scraplifted a Pinterest idea of putting the figures in a police line up.
 I liked the idea of the reindeer getting in trouble for their reindeer games, so I built on that.

I also tried a double-z fold card.  I think it turned out pretty well. I made a few more shaker cards.  The London Bridge image is based on our crazy holiday gift exchange.  This year each person chose a nursery rhyme or fairy tale as the gift suggestion.  My brother selected London Bridge is Falling Down.  I combined several Lavinia Stamp images for the fairy card.

The final card is a tunnel card.  I used several different nativity scene dies, each in slightly different sizes to create some perspective.  This card didn't photograph very well, but I'm very pleased with it.  The technique takes a lot of time, but I think I would be able to make future cards more quickly now that I'm familiar with the technique. 

We have several family birthdays during the holiday season. Here are the cards for them.

Here are more cards from Fun Stampers Journey materials. I've also made a bunch of cards for friends in Petersburg and extended family. This is definitely the year of the shaker card.  I made many versions. I planned to make snow globe cards this year using the Hero Arts set, but never got around to using the snow globe die. The few snow globe cards I made, didn't use the set.  Maybe next year!
