Yep, another Christmas card. I really do love making holiday cards, but now I have a good reason to continue producing them, even after the holidays have passed.
Jingle Belles challenge blog is ALL about the holidays! This is my first time being able to play there, and I've combined two of their challenges:
This couldn't have been easier to make. I had this summery DCWV designer paper forEVER, then grabbed a green strip from an old Christmas card, punched a border on some Pink Passion cardstock, mounted on a re-purposed green glittery gift tag (just don't look on the other side) and some stamped snowflakes from Stampin' Up!'s Patterned Pines.
