You can pretty much add holly and ribbon to anything and it’s instantly holiday-ready! Today, I’ve got two designs that put my theory to the test.
My aunt wanted some Christmas cards that would capture her two loves: coffee and writing! I immediately knew which stamps I would use, but I needed to dress them up for the holidays – Enter holly leaves and ribbon.
First up is a card I’m calling: Christmas a la Starbucks!! It’s really simple but just so darn cute!
Next is a set of cards that I made using the Hero Arts “My Type” set. I stamped the holly leaves with text to coordinate with the whole “typewriter” theme.
I also stamped an envie liner with text to complete the theme.
With the help of my Martha Stewart bow punch, these cards were really easy to assemble!
Thanks for stopping by today – making cards is just a little more fun with others enjoy em along with me!
