white elephant : reinvented

so, despite my husband STRONGLY disagreeing that i am not following the white elephant gift rules (NO SPENDING, give only something you have already), i am giving a small collection of christmas cards. i can't see how i'm breaking the rules... seriously, i didn't buy anything for this!

so, here are the cards:

simple sentiment on the inside

they're all small (4.25 x 5.5) and have the same sentiment. i have red envelopes to give with them. i got the christmas stamps from The Stamps of Life & it was my first purchase from there, so i was excited to ink up as many as possible. they have really crisp lines & i had to double stamp them a couple of times on a few cards to get the strength i wanted in the main sentiment.

materials used: Paper Studio textured cardstock (deep red & forest green) & kraft paper (used for card base), BasicGrey collections Figgy Pudding, Jovial & Nordic Holiday 6x6, Stamps of Life Holly4Christmas, Offray 1/8" white ribbon, Martha Stewart Edge Punch, Martha Stewart White Mini Pearls, Stampabilities Present Stamp & Corner Punch. ::whew::
