Christmas Cards 2010

Tis the season for spreading that holiday cheer! I'm old school and will forever love the practice of writing and sending greeting cards, especially during the Christmas season. There's just something about paper products, the time spent writing notes, and sending and receiving them that gives me happiness. Handmade is still my choice, and below are a few of those I'll be sending out this year.

A mix of traditional colors (green and red) and my favorite colors (pink and purple), these cards carry the same doily theme with layers, textures, and decals.

Hope to send these out before within a week :)



Season's greetings and bits of holly.


Peace dove . The dove is one of my favorite images in the paper I purchased, and appears in a lot of my cards.


Layers of doilies and textured red paper with two dove decals.




Gold dove on textured red circle and doily layers.


Gold wreath over green and white printed paper and doily layers.


And two statement cards:

Wishing you JOY!


FELIZ Navidad :)


Do you send out holiday cards?

I wish I sent out Christmas cards, but alas no mas (esp. since we're so far away now too!)

i am definitely a traditional paper card type of gal. I love love love receiving them so I imagine my recipients feeling that same way when they get mine. however... mine are all store bought - kudos to you! and i gotta tell you, that "JOY" card could be sold in stores!
