Christmas Greetings In Time for a DIY Holiday Card


It's been a week of Christmas Greeting with Stampendous and I get to share this simple and inspirational card.

I love this handwritten message with the iconic star graphic. It could be in a very traditional way, but I decided to change it up and use some of the modern colors we've been seeing so often at Christmastime.

Read to the end of the post for supplies and instructions. I think it would very easy to put a few dozens together in no time in an array of colors!

    I think this is pretty with the colors you used.
    Love how the sentiment is the highlight of the card.

I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
