It feels like Christmas around here....another group post tonight coming your way courtesy of Nichole Heady and Papertrey Ink. We were asked as a Design Team to come up with quick and easy holiday cards to share with you....and Nichole has put together a free planning worksheet for each card where you can find supply lists, cutting guides, and instructions. I am happy to share my holiday cards with you and hope you'll enjoy them.
These came together so quickly....and I couldn't just choose one paper to create these cards with, so I wanted to show how you can use several that coordinate and knock out a bunch of cards that look similar but all have their own personality. If ya like 'em and want to make some for yourself, click on over to Nichole's blog or click HERE and you'll find the planning worksheet for these cards along with many, many more.
Here are links to the other designer's blogs...they've got some beauties waiting for you.

I like the way this card has a modern feel to it but you have used a traditional script for the true sentiment of Christmas.
The whole card works so well.

Beautiful cards Melissa! I love how the patterned paper scallop peeks from under the cream layer!

Absolutely stunning - I've seen this stamp used before, but it looks so gorgeous with the patterned paper you've incorporated! Really beautiful!

These cards are awesome. You make me want to buy all the stamp sets that Papertrey Ink offers. :-) I placed my first order yesterday and get my stamps next week when I am in NYC.
