Another Christmas Card

I decided to simplify my next Christmas card design.  The first one I made took quite some time but I still wanted to use the Memory Box holly leaf wreath die.  I liked how it turned out with the Martha Stewart branch punch die cuts.  So this time, I thought I would make the standard A2 card.  I would create a nice background using modelling paste.  I would mount the wreath and add a sentiment.  I also decided that I would make all the ones that I was mailing the same so that it would go faster.

Less time consuming -- yes.  Simpler design -- yes.  Not too thick so easier to mail -- yes.  Able to complete a whole whack of them in time to mail today -- um, well, see, um -- no.  I have managed to get two completed and the bits and pieces ready to do 4 more.  Thankfully, I only mail about a dozen cards. 

The rest of the cards that I have to make get shipped in my Christmas packages so I don't have to worry about whether or not they are "mailable".  The added bonus is that they don't have to be completed this week.  I still have at least one more weekend since they don't need to be on the Greyhound until later next week.

Here is design #2 with the Memory Box holly wreath die:

Not the best photo I am afraid to say.  We are getting some snow today and the lighting sucks.

Have a good Monday.  Off to pick up the kiddos from school and try to get a few more of these done.
