I opted for simple designs for my Christmas cards this year (no matter how much I try to plan ahead, there just never seems to be enough time to do all of the little things I would like to during the holidays) - I chose beautiful color combinations, patterned paper, interesting shapes and a bit of sparkle . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

stamps:  papertrey ink

papers:  pebbles inc, stampin' up, papertrey ink

dies:  papertrey ink, my favorite things, sizzix

embellishments:  sequins - darice

twine & tags

this is a quick but oh, so cute Christmas card - in a couple of hours I had multiples ready to send around the country! (the vellum background is a tag die turned upside down and then I used the sentiment strip to cover the hole)
