Birthday cards

One of my resolutions last year was to be better about sending birthday cards! I have been trying to keep some pretty, easy-to-mail cards on hand so it's easy to send them for special occasions. This is my latest birthday card, and I really like it! Flat for easy mailing, but with a few nice details.

What are your goals for this year! I hope they include sending out a few handmade cards to show how much you care!

As you say goodbye to 2010 and welcome in 2011, join 24 of my favorite stampers for a Stampin' Addicts Blog Hop featuring products from...the Occasions Mini Catalog! Look for stamps, accessories, and designs for Valentines Day, Easter, Mother's Day, and just plain old wonderful spring! See amazing projects by amazing demonstrator designers and fall in love.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Actually, I could happily live without any more snow, but isn't this a fun card??? Really easy to make, so if you still need a few more Christmas cards, this is a great one to copy! The card base is Old Olive, then a layer of Cherry Cobbler (my favorite red for Christmas), then the Jolly Holiday Designer series paper. The ribbon is Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding from the Holiday Mini. The snowflakes are from the new Decorative Strip die Northern Frost, also in the Holiday Mini. Add a few brads and it's finished.

Hope your Christmas preparations are going better than mine!
