my holiday tidings
the paper is perfect for attaching a photo or a special little original work of art.
After illustrating so many holiday cards, when it came time for my own, I found such lovely letterpress over here at bdr-studio. (found on etsy mind you!)
Given that our twins will be heading off to college next fall, (we hope) we thought it best a holiday photo card was best. I am thrilled with the small size and the simplicity.
Danielle has lovely cheery designs.
I know many send e-cards or do not send any at all.
I still love getting cards in the mail, be it a photo or some hand made greeting.
Do you still send out greetings?
What a beautiful family! I love your card!
ReplyDeleteTwist of Lime,
ReplyDeleteI am still getting grief over the photo. I think my kids hate photos as much as I do!

I always knew your holiday cards would be amazing! Love the candid photo of your kids and of course the artwork!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! I send out but notice less and less people do!
ReplyDeleteI am enamored with your cards!!! So classic, love the petite size and of course to see your smiling children (one who is a dead ringer for you)!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on getting mine out. But, now I wish I had done something as pretty as yours! :)
xoxo
Such a great card! I still love to open the mail box and find cards in the days leading up to Christmas - that personal touch an e-card can't really give.
ReplyDeleteI love receiving holiday cards! Though this year I was beginning to wonder if everyone had decided to stop, I just received the first two yesterday!
ReplyDeleteLove this post - instant smile! xx
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I do not send out Christmas cards. I just find myself too busy to sit down and get them ready. Maybe next year I will have picture cards printed out. That seems pretty easy! Carla
ReplyDeleteI always love giving and receiving photo cards...so personal!! Adore your pick and your family is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYou know I do. I have to go and pick up mine. They are not quite ready yet. Love this pic of your clan.
ReplyDeleteLove yours. Letter press is one of my favorite things... I am working away on our cards... each one made by hand...and love coming home and checking the mail for greeting from friends near and far.
ReplyDeletehi patricia,
ReplyDeleteyour daughter looks just like you!
my christmas card list has shrunk over the years to just about zero. that is sad and maybe i should do something about it.

Love the sweet smiles of your holiday card! I am an old fashion gal at heart I love to send out letters/cards through the mail and still carry a calendar notebook in my purse. xo
ReplyDeletePatricia- What beautiful smiles JP, Joseph and Amelia have. A very handsome trio! Your cards are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'll be mailing a collage letter to friends. Took pics of the kids this weekend.
Hope you can come over to my blog because I've got another jewelry giveaway. (It's a great one!)

What a great family photo! I try to send out cards each year. I'm still working on the one for this year...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute family you have, Patricia. I wish you all the best in the college admissions season.
ReplyDeleteYes. I had cards printed from my photos and mailed them out to friends, family, and anyone who wanted one. WOuld you like one?
ReplyDeleteI do send out handmade cards each year. Almost 200 of them. So you can imagine what I'm doing this week!
ReplyDeleteYours are absolutely lovely! Those three gorgeous faces!!
I'm like Joyce, I still carry a calendar notebook in my pocketbook.
ReplyDeleteand mail cards.
Love the photo of your children. Your daughter and Joseph look just like you! John-Paul must look like his Dad.
And a happy week to you!! :)
Great card! Yes, I do still send out cards, but my list seems to get a bit shorter each year.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Susan

ReplyDeleteI love seeing the final product of my work, thank you for sharing! And your watercolor is absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeletePS. thank you for the kind words, you are too sweet :)

ReplyDeletePatricia, your cards are amazing! How can you top one of your illustrations AND letterpress? I'm delighted just looking at them. Happy sigh.
ReplyDeleteI love photo cards and appreciate every one! Beautiful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHo ho ho,
Colleen
Beautiful card!! I agree with you I love sending out cards and getting them. One tradition I hope to always keep:)
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I just can't get around to cards, but my husband sends some for us. I always love photo cards. We still get one from his college advisor now with great grand kids in the picture. Didn't realize you had twins.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! Surely your cards are a hit!
ReplyDeleteOurs on the way....
