Yes, this is my second holiday card post this month. My tulips are in the yard working their way up out of the recently frozen earth and I am making Christmas cards. Goodness. But, I am sticking with that New Years resolution and getting Christmas cards done throughout the year. Two this month...I am ahead of schedule!
I am sending a box of cards home to my mom and in doing so have realized that a lot of my cards are not mail friendly- cards with big bows or big flowers or big bows with big flowers in the middle. (Standard envelopes need not apply for my cards.) So, I challenged myself to make an easy to mail card and I am happy with the results...although I really do think it could use a big bow on it.
The card came together quite quickly and will be a mass produced card! Hope you like it, Mom. You will be getting a stack before November! :)
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful Easter Weekend.
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

ReplyDeleteMy tulips are inching their way up too. We (actually DH) planted a whole bed of them last Fall, so I can't wait. Need to get some Gladiola bulbs for the Summer, I love glads!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely, that EF is a favourite of mine also. I've been trying to cut back the bulk on my cards too, it's ridiculous how much it costs to send even a slightly bulky card. Pretty soon no one will send any at all!
Thanks for entering your lovely card for my CHNC challenge extra for April - hope to see you again soon x
