I realized about half way through the process that this project was becoming wedding invitation scale...and I didn't have the time or the cash money to do that. (but Paper Source was calling my name)
SO I chopped the list after sending out approximately 55 Christmas cards. yipes.
I took a lovely shopping trip with a friend, Kylee, to Paper Source last month. It's the first time I've been to the store and i was in love! I spent a bit more money than planned but also got some supplies that will last me a while!
Supplies:
Cherry Blossom and Merry Christmas stamps from Paper Source
3 10 packs of khaki cover weight paper
6 10 packs of red envelopes
1 roll + 1 sheet of wrapping paper
70 4 x 6 collage photo prints, trimmed to 4 x 5.4
red ink pad
glue stick
homemade envelope liner template
And yes, i realize that a couple's first Christmas cards are a prime place to show off all those wonderful wedding portraits...but we also went to Italy this year and we wanted to include both!
[By the way, if you're really interested in seeing all of our wedding and honeymoon photos you may have to come and visit in about 3 months when I have the albums finished!]
As I was stamping, gluing and cutting, (and Eric was studying)
I watched some Christmas classics [any guesses?]
And here are the results!
Even on this blog, got to protect the privacy. :-)
