I have a fun post for you tonight!
Each of the Papetrey Ink Design Team members was asked to come up with a set of mass-producible holiday cards to share with all of you card loving gals out there. What a wonderful treat Nichole has put together as she has gathered instructions and supply lists from each of us and compiled them into down-loadable files for you to print out and keep in order for you to create holiday cards of your own. I'll share mine here with you, but there are many, many more ideas available for you on the Papertrey Ink blog. This was so much fun...I hope you enjoy them too.
I created a design that is quite simple and fun. The supplies are minimal and it would be so easy to change your color scheme and try out different patterns with this design.
I used the Papertrey Ink Merry and Bright stamp set for my focus here and added in some Papertrey Vintage Holiday paper and twill to whip these up in a hurry. I even decided it would be fun to create matching envelopes so the greeting carries through from the beginning to the end. Here is an example for you to use on your envelopes.
The envelopes required no extra paper...I saved the remaining scalloped scraps from the cards and just used them here, on the envelopes. Two simple, stamped trees and your sentiment and you're done!
I'd love to see your take on these, and I hope you enjoy creating them as much as I did. For the instructions and supply lists on these cards as well as all of the other Design Team members, check HERE and stayed tuned for many more ideas for the holidays :)

Even your quick cards are gorgeous! I love these, especially how you carried the theme over onto the envelopes, really nice! I just posted a Christmas card too, because I needed a break from my fall cards and colors today:) Nice to see yours too!
