One thing I like about making my own cards is they can be designed for a person's personal interest. This one is for the Music Minister at church,
I was going through my Christmas papers for inspiration and found a pack of music patterns that were from Stampin' Up! a few years ago.
I pulled out the black one that has "O, Come All Ye Faithful" I cut a 2" strip and matted it on red. Then onto a white mat that is embossed with music notes. The sentiment is from SU's retired set For Unto Us. I die cut the sentiment and then put it on a punched red label. That is popped up on foam squares. I found some really small black gems for the upper right corner.
Inside is another sentiment from the same stamp set. I love the font on this one. Then added a sticker music note.

Wonderful card, Donna! I've always loved music-themed cards for Christmas. I love the colors you used, too. The bright red balances the black and white perfectly.
