Christams cards we can afford to mail.

Remember this is my theme this year. The price of EVERYTHING has gone up so I can not afford to spend extra on postage for the 70 or so cards I mail each year, so the focus is on cards that will mail for the regular rate. Of course I will make a few mega layer, mega chuck cards to hand out!

This first card is made with my new favorite Christmas stamp set from this years catalog. The funny thing is it did not stand out to me when just browsing the catalog, I had to see samples with it to envision how beautiful it is.




Here is the rest of the set, is it not just gorgeous!


And this second card is with my favorite Christmas stamp from before this catalog, it is still available too!





Another beauty, don't you agree.




And this is where I got the sentiment.
