Making Christmas Cards

[PenWorks]

With all the comercializing of Christmas.....
and ALL the pens we make......
Just wondering how many take the time to make their own
cards and write that smushy little note once in a while.
It sure beats spending $5.00 for a card and will mean alot
more to the recipient.

Very nice way to show your personal touch. Where can one get one of those personalised stamps and wax/seal?

Don, that material is tortouse Decora, it was a resin from Italy that was sold by the vendors several years ago, They did this and the cracked Ice ( which some folks are hording) the cow patern that can still be had real cheap, and about 2 other colors that have disapeared. It is nice stuff if you find any.

That's a great photo Anthony, and a nice thought as well.

I’ve recently run across an alternative to melting and dripping wax for the seal impression. These little wax sticks are used in a normal hot-glue gun and are a snap to work with.

Here's a link to the outfit I got mine from (no affiliation):

Nice Anthony. Don't see a "il biglietto d'auguri" to your favorite Provo chaueffer.

Buon Natale and gli auguri di Capodanno.

Chow,
Don

Si,

But you were reading my mind, I went shopping for a gift for you. Just could not find a street map of Provo in Cave Creek. []

Ed, those sticks are convenient, just not sure about your 21st century wax gun [] Unless you were doing a mass run.[]
