My submission for the design team inspiration is a simple set of Christmas Cards. Using the theme, Christmas Cheer, I was quickly drawn to the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper.
There is no way to do this paper justice without seeing it in person. You get flocked designs along with metallic accented paper.
It is GORGEOUS!!
(Item #116770, $11.95)
Now, onto the cards... I am loving the simplicity of this set. I used the layout found at the Clean & Simple Stamping blog. If you follow my blog, you may notice that I am a HUGE fan of clean & simple cards.
The holiday's are typically a very busy time of year for my family. But this year, my goal is to slow down, take it all in, and enjoy the Christmas cheer with loved ones. With my Mom's cancer and my Dad going to Iraq in January - it's going to be a bittersweet holiday.
Treasure your time with family & friends this season.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you've enjoyed my creations.
Very sweet and simple! Love the different cards!

On the first card I like how the ribbon makes the DSP look! All cute and quick, Kris!

What a cute holiday line-up. They are simple enough for mass-production, but that paper and image really make them special.
