Years ago, when I first discovered scrapbooking (I think that was 1997...), I used to make my Christmas cards. Granted, I only had a handful of close friends to send them to so it was easy to stamp them all by hand and then heat emboss, add a few embellies, etc... Now that our family has grown, so has our Christmas card recipients list! There's no way I'm handmaking card anymore. Instead I settle for digital cards - I create the layout, of course, and just upload the image to Costco. Easy peasy.
But I was in the mood to make a Christmas card...
Maybe it was the "Rain Snow Shine" Miss Anya set from The Greeting Farm that inspired me! :)
Super simple card today. Used some more of my beloved SU! Baja Breeze CS and some SU! retired DSP. The snowflake punches are from the SU! Level 2 Hostess Set Christmas Punch. I used my SU! Boho Blossoms punch to punch them out - they're perfect for it! Added some Stickles to give the snowflakes a little bling and VOILA! A Christmas Card!
Have a happy Monday!
supplies:
CS: Baja Breeze (retired - SU!), Pure Luxury Ivory CS (Gina K.)
DSP: retired (SU!)
stamp: Rain Snow Shine set (The Greeting Farm), Christmas Punch (SU!)
ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Chocolate Chip (SU!)
sentiment: Chit Chat rubons (SU!)
accessories: mini brads, Copics, large oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders), dimensionals, Diamond Stickles, Boho Blossoms punch (SU!)
I so wish it was cold enough to bundle up like this cutie card! It has been sweltering hot this past week! :)

Cute card... I'm going skiing in December and that stamp would look delish.
