I was so excited when I found the perfect envelopes for our client who prefers to send out big Christmas cards. What I mean by “big” is that he prefers the cards to be 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ instead of the usual 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″. I came up with this card, which is based on a card that is featured on page 20 of Stampin’ Up’s 2012 Holiday Catalog.
He was thrilled!
However…
his mother-in-law passed away a few days before I was ready to mail out the cards. I immediately realized that the Santa scene and the “Happy” tag were not appropriate to send due to the new, terrible, circumstance. I decided to replace the Santa scene with a trumpeting angel. I also replaced the “Happy” tag with a tag that says “Cherish.”
I love the combination of the Cherry Cobbler paper with the More Mustard yellow. Throw in the Gumball Green, and you have created a brand new twist on Christmas colors!
