FAMILY SKATE - Two Christmas Card Designs

 Family Skating Silhouettes

This Christmas, I decided to design something more NON-traditional, and yet, it IS traditional. What do I mean?

I came across silhouettes of people skating that just happen to look EXACTLY like my children! This technique is not your typical Christmas design. Yet, the designs themselves are nostalgic for me.

A Swiss-like Scene

Daughter and Son-in-Law

My daughter and son-in-law love to travel. One of their favourite places is Switzerland. They also love to get out in the fresh air and go for walks, no matter if it's winter or not.


I designed this card, keeping in mind their love for Swiss home architecture, mountainous terrain (hills, in this case) and big beautiful pine trees. The couple skating on this card look exactly like them!


Long and Winding Skate Path
Daughter, Son-in-Law & Granddaughter


This little family is perfect for my other daughter's little family. They were thrilled with it and told me: "It' just like US! How did you do that?"

It's like I always say: Cardmaking has to be personal to the recipients, or why bother! This year, I was delighted with how these two cards turned out.
