25 Days of Christmas 2017 - Day 1


For the next 25 days, I'll be sharing a Christmas idea with you - cards, gift bags, boxes, gift tags, gifts, packaging ideas...anything that may give inspiration for the holidays.

Today is Day 1, and I am sharing two cards.  Both of these were made using the Watercolor Christmas stamp set.


The card in the left uses some of the Year of Cheer specialty paper, with a small silver metallic doily cut in half to frame the oval greeting.

The card on the right is very simple - designer paper background with a layered greeting.  There IS a small bow, but it kind of blends into the background paper.  Use this as an idea for what NOT to do.  :)  The bow would definitely stand out better if it was in solid cardstock.  Live and learn.
