Christmas card for the folks


Greetings all!

In the hustle and bustle (You know...I'm not sure if in my entire life I've bustled. Oh, don't get me wrong. I see nothing wrong with bustling. Some of my best friends bustle... I'm just not sure I'd be very good at it.), I thought I'd quickly show you the Christmas card I've made for my parents:

And I thought I'd show you the back of my cards. :)

I know I may get questions about the bar code stamp shown above. I believe I purchased it at Michaels, but don't quote me on that! :)

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for looking and/or commenting!

How beautiful! Love the way the image just shines out on the front. They will love it!
BTW, I'm no good at bustling either, LOL!

What a beautiful Christmas card. Thanks for showing a pic of the back of the card. That barcode stamp is great. Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas and everything of the best for 2012.

I'm pretty sure I'd hurt myself if I tried to bustle - LOL I always love purple for Christmas and Easter religious pieces...it just makes sense.... And now I am reminded that I need to get cards together for my little family. Have a wonderful Christmas, Ted!

Love the card. It is so refreshing to see "real" Christmas cards. :) At first glance at the back, I thought, "He totally cheated!" That is a store bought card. Then, I realized you had stamped it. I love your custom stamp. I bought one recently and wish I had seen yours first. Thanks for sharing!

Your card is beautiful, Ted.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas.

Joshua and I are enjoying seeing your cards. I am not clear how you actually made this one. Did you use Embossing powder and spray ink? I guess I will have to look forward to asking you about this during yard duty on a cold January morning. In the meantime, have a wonderful Christmas filled with a lot of fun creative cardmaking moments!
