Written by farmette founder Loren Profit Smith, this Christmas card reflects on the significance of the incarnation - Emmanuel, God with us. Card features simple typography that reads "In the birth of the baby Jesus, we see the most poignant picture of what God has been saying all along: "I am here. I am with you." In our deepest pain, in our joys, in our worst and best decision, in the depths and in the heights, God is with us, and we are never, ever alone. This is our comfort, our consolation, our hope." and hand-written "Emmanuel".
Letterpressed in black ink on soft white paper.

Christmas Cards

The Christmas cards I received are absolutely beautiful in their structure and simplicity. I especially love the Scripture included, making the card much for meaningful and special.
