SheetLoad of Seminarian Christmas Cards

Hello all! Today I am sharing cards I made to send to the seminarians who are studying to become priests from our diocese. There are 20 cards in all and were made using the November 2024 SheetLoad of Cards sketch
16 of the cards were created with a blue theme. The background papers for all cards were from The Paper Studio's Star of Bethlehem 8.5x11 paper pad. The patterned paper for the narrow strips and the focal point were from Echo Park's Silent Night 6x6 paper pad. Those cut aparts meant that I didn't need to stamp images or sentiments! Love that!
I didn't have enough quantity of the blue scene background papers, so I ended up using a tan background scene from the same paper pad. With the different accent colors, I think they turned out nice too! I made a total of 4 in this color palette. I didn't add any embellishments or dimension to these cards to help with mailing. Two are headed to Rome, and I didn't want any postage delays! Adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glue and ATG. On a side note, I did switch the position of the panel of paper strips on the cards depending on what I wanted visible on the background paper. Feel free to move around elements on sketches to make them your own!
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
