Finishing Up Christmas Cards


I'm getting close to finishing up my Christmas cards for this year. I'll admit to being ready to being done!  I have all the envelopes addressed too...waiting for the last few to be completed.   So, on Sunday, when I was working on more, I was looking for inspiration.  Jay Gee's Nook was the perfect spot. I love the neutral tones on the inspiration below so I used the fun patterned stamp from CAS-ual Fridays Countdown set (stay tuned for more from this tomorrow)...and the sentiment from Verve.  Love the touch of twine, the star and the gem.

And in the spirit of easy mailing, I created a few one layer cards as well using Technique Tuesday and WPlus 9 stamps.  Hope your Christmas creating is going well!

Love the fun fonts on that Verve sentiment and the gem on the tip of the star makes me smile!

these are a mailing delight! You won't be driving the ladies at the post office crazy with having to weigh and measure 3 different card designs like I had to! LOL LOVE that sweet star with twine and the fabulous stamping on the second :) Let's hear it for the almost weekend! Hope the baking went well last night :)

such earthy natural colours are a welcome change, the twine is a perfect match and the second card is just like a Xmas jumper! x

Marisa said...

Love the star on the twine! Such a fabulous touch. Great use of the pattern on the second. Perfect for mailing...I gulped at my mailing total at the post office yesterday!

I love both of your cards Lynn, so inspiring. You always tie such beautiful balanced button twine bows.

Jay Gee said...

Wow, can't believe you are almost finished your Christmas cards! Fabulous take on the challenge with the first card Lynn and I love the combination of patterns on the second. Thanks so much for joining us again at Jay Gee's :)

When I think of you and possibly a "style" that you have, these cards would be the poster children. Beautiful, a touch of rustic, clean and stunning!

Lynn, what amazing single layer cards! I did the same thing (but still have to post them) - now that I live in Canada, I've got to watch the cost of postage :) Just amazing inspiration!
