Worked on my christmas cards tonite and finally settled on using a spirelli template. You place the metal template on card stock and using an exacto knife, cut it out. I had some holographic thread and used that to wrap around the points. It's just like spirograph but with thread. I purchased the template from http://www.ecstasycrafts.com/. They have other shapes and sizes and precut cards. This is a great site for paper crafters.
Here is what my finished design looked like. I used a rubber stamp of a snowflake for the inside design and for the outside envelope. This design covers all people on my card list. I finally hit on using 527 multi-purpose cement to attach the elements to the sparkly cards. I think the recipients will enjoy these holiday greetings.
I cast on the correct number of stitches for a men's size sock in the tiger yarn. It met with approval and now it's on to 9 inches of leg to knit.
