Did you know there are only 77 days until Christmas? I know it's kinda depressing to think how fast time is flying by but now is the time to start working on those Christmas cards. I was asked to make some Christmas Party invites that wouldn't cost extra to mail. Which means - Clean & Simple - no big, beautiful bows or pearl brads, etc. So here is what I came up with so far!
I used a new stamp from Heartfelt Creations called HCPC 3352 Snowy Cardinal PreCut Set. I cut my cardstock to 4 1/4" x 11 and folded it in half. I cut the white cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4". I punched the bottom scallop using a EK Success punch. I added a small piece of velvet rick rack and a computer-generated sentiment and some Crystal Stickles for snow to finish this off. What do you think?
Hope you have a great weekend! We are off to another Marching Band Competition. It is always fun to spend time with our girls AND their band friends!
I think this looks great! I love the artistic cards, but realistically we need some flat ones for the post, and this is gorgeous and mailable, fabulous work :-)

I simply love the simple yet elegant card.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrSTQDVc0tc Generally christmas cards are completely decorated with bows and lush colors. This will simply stand out among them. You could still add a bit of color to the card.

Such a great looking card. I love the look you created with that red bird and that scallop edge on the white.
