Christmas Card featuring Star of Light stamp set and coordinating Starlight Thinlits from Stampin' Up!.  I got this set at the end of last year but didn't get to using it so wanted to try it out.  This card was so easy to make because you stamp directly onto the card and then just need 2 die cuts.  And I just love the results.  Definitely will be using this set for some of my cards this year.
