Photo Card -- Blogger's Challenge

This weeks challenge was "Inspired By". Well I was inspired -- as I often am -- by Diane over at Stamp With Diane. She had this brilliant idea for a hand made -- hand stamped photo card! I thought this was the best thing I have seen in a long time! So many people want to make home made cards but decide against it because they want a photo card. Well, here is the best of both worlds! How much more personal can your Christmas Cards get? My sample showcases a very old picture of my son. He was one at the time he is now seven. This was when he got his new puppy for Christmas! This is also the only year that we sent out photo cards because I always want to make them -- man am I excited about this year! Thanks Diane.




Here is the card shown closed.


This is a close up of the "card" part. So easy to work with, kind of like trading cards.
These will certainly be easy to whip out -- even if you change the image on every card you make. Did I tell you I love this idea!


This picture shows how the card opens.


Supplies used for the card. Real Red 12 x 12 textured card stock is used for the base. I also used Wild Wasabi, Summer Sun and Whisper White cards stock. The image is from the hostess set Perfect Presentation. I stamped it on the white, wasabi and real red and then cut it out and pieced it together. The star, saying and the swirl are all from the Season of Joy set from the Holiday mini. I also used a saying from Many Merry Messages on the inside. I kept it simple so that the picture will be the real focal point. Hope you enjoy. I am gonna have to figure out how to get one seven year old two dogs and a cat to sit still for pictures, lol.
