So when you're less wealthy than you'd like to be, the best thing to do for the holidays are cards!!!!
But some can get kind of expensive. Although I have a friend who bought 32 for $2, I have yet to find them... Sad.
So as a childless woman who loves fun projects- I decided to make my own this year!
Items needed- All bought at Hobby Lobby
1 pack of cardstock- 5" x 6 1/2" (I bought ivory colored)
a stencil of some holiday design (I chose snowflakes)
paint (I bought light blue)
a foam brush
I used basic word to make my saying for the inside, used photoshop and the internet to come up with a few pictures to go with my saying, and printed them off.
I used the paint and stencils to create a very pretty front. I wish I had a little bit of glitter, though, because the paint came out to be slightly less than what I wanted, but oh well. Still very pretty.
Voile! Pretty pretty Christmas cards. I'll post a picture later, as I didn't take any and have already sealed up the first batch I made.
