Click here to go to my STAMPtember post!
Every year I try to send handmade Christmas cards, but it's difficult striking a balance between keeping it handmade and not taking 3 months to finish your holiday cards;) So each year I try to come up with something quick and easy to replicate but still a bit different than what you'd see at the local Hallmark. This time I went modern and CAS with a gray (Fog) card stock base. I glammed it up a bit with a strip of silver along the left side. The rest is just a matter of die cut and filling in the blanks:) Maybe this year, I'll actually be able to get my cards done on time!
Thank you for stopping by today! I do hope you stop by all the other Avery Elle blog hoppers! This release is just so awesome! Here's the blog line up if you've just started...
