Tonight is the release at Papertrey Ink! Are you excited? I know I am.
On the 15th you can now get all the new releases, as well as download my 2 NEWEST templates: Around Town Tote & the Cash or Charge Trio.
(they will appear on the site after midnight!)
Just in time for the big day, our entire team at Papertrey Inkhas come together to create various holiday cards. This was a very popular assignment last year, and we hope you enjoy it just as much this year. I know I had a total blast (despite my loathing mass production! LOL!) creating my version of a holiday card this year.
This should definitely spark the holiday mood, and get you ready to pull out the supplies 😀
I fell in love with the snowman from 2009 Holiday Button Bits (and I’m sure I won’t be alone (wink), and just *had* to use it for my holiday cards!
Sweet as Snow
I personally love fun colors, and layers on my creations, so I hope you like my take on the holiday card challenge.
While my card is detailed, it didn’t take long to get these 5 done (thankfully)!
Here are my five cards, assembled like a holiday tree!
If you decide you want to use my layout for your own cards, Nichole made each of us a file for everything you need to recreate 25 cards!
Complete with supplies and step by step instruction!
Here is the download info —> Lauren Let it Snow PDF
Thank you to Nichole for doing that for everyone 😀
Here is a bit of a closer look
The snowman doesn’t NEED a button to be totally cute! I felt like her arms stretched out, just said “let it snow!”!! So I went with that! I won’t go into a ton of detail because you can just get that from the download 😀
Now I thought I would take this SAME layout, and make some gift packaging for my Sweet as Snow set!
Here it is!
For those of you who THINK you cannot easily create 3 dimensional items, this is the PERFECT example that you can!
I knew I would want to create a package of some sort, to present these cards in….so using the SAME supplies, same size, and layout…..instead of making another card, I just put the trio layer onto the front of my large Around Town Tote! YEAH! Yet, another FAB way to present card sets 😀
I just slid them into a clear card case, with 5 envelopes, and they were ready to go!
(there is a lot of filler in there, so they stick out the top!!)
You could of course ALSO use my card box template : Captured Card Case too!!

Now you can FINALLY get your hands on Itty Bitty Christmas!
Check out Melissa’s blog for a plethora of amazing samples from the team 😀 I was drooling over that the team put together! The whole set is just beyond CUTE!!
I have one more sample for you as well
You’re Sweet
I loved the little elf couple!
I made this for my hubby as a “just because” card. Granted he was puzzled as to WHY I was using CHRISTMAS images in October! You THINK he’d get it, after years of me designing for companies, that THIS is the “holiday” season! LOL!
Well now you don’t have to wait to put in your order and make your own holiday cards-or “sweet” cards 😀
Thanks for stopping by!
