Handmade Holiday Cards in Minutes

Want to send handmade holiday cards….but think you just don’t have the time? Take a look at the new Holly & Ivy Picture My Life Cards. These designs are originally created for scrapbooking. My favorite way to use them is to turn them into quick and simple cards. Each set of cards includes 24 double sided designs. The 24 cards feature twelve 4″ x 6″ cards and twelve 3″ x 4″ cards. Here is a sampling of the cards that are included-

It is simple to turn the gorgeous designs into great holiday cards. For my creation, I simply cut the 4″ x 6″ design down to fit on an A2 sized card. I added a little bit of bling with a strip of shimmer trim, sequins, a touch of shimmer brush and a silver bow. These little additions only took a minute to add.
