I posted the Christmas cards in good time. Below are several other Christmas projects so far left unreported.
I carved this design in lino and printed notecards. The ink is white block printing ink with green gouache added, which made it too sticky (but lent a nice texture). I also printed some sets in black.
These small cards and small moleskine cahiers are printed with a rubber block I carved a while ago now. I bought the envelopes but the cards are 10x15cm index cards folded in half.
I ran out of gift tags when wrapping the notecards, so labelled the packages (for Becky and Mommy) with ribbon and sticky tape. I figured they’d work out who the giver was.
Becky and I gave each other a 365 day journal to fill up and swap back at the end of the year. I made her this double-sided spiral accordion-fold book of ideas:

Such lovely things! And a belated thank you for the Christmas card and postcard. I rather liked the print on an angle!

It adds that touch of authenticity :)

Those cards and all are just wonderful! And the idea of the journals for swapping with your sister is awesome. (Hello from a fellow DWJer btw.)
