Christmas in May

No surprise that I am giving cards to my family for Christmas (sorry if you didn't know that...) so I'm trying to create themes for each set. I finished the collection for my in-laws this afternoon so here we go! Think about who you're giving the cards too and choose a theme for that person.

I started by picking out black and white paper.

The thing that I choose to keep the same for each card in the set was the "initial". I did a set for my mom with ABC (her initials) and just a D for my in-laws! Since the background was just black and white, I used a light purple with a pink and yellow paisley backing. My father-in-law is never going to write a card anyway...

I measured the cards and cut the paper to fit piecing together the scraps and such to make the most of the paper I was using!

Here are some of the samples of what I came up with...
