Today's featured set is Unto Us and the Reindeer Fun Die Set. I'm swooning over the fabulous, scripture sentiments in this set as well as the wonderful, bold, chevron border stamp that coordinates with the Classy Label die.
Making Christmas cards is always such fun! Managed to snag a few new papers at my LSS by Carta Bella and Imaginisce. The snowflakes and Christmas coloured polka dots made me swoon! Think I'll go back for a few more sheets of each before they are all gone. Diva Christyne's VLV sketch was my starting point and I created the focal sentiment panel from the Unto Us set. Used the Banner Bundle Dies to cut the banners, and then over stamped the main sentiment with one of the stars from Star of Wonder. The secondary sentiment along the bottom is also from that set. Gotta love how you can mix and match your Verve sets :)
