Christmas Cards are Snow Much Fun!
Hello, Friends! I’m up today on the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog where I’m sharing these delightfully vintage Christmas cards. These were “snow much fun” to make with the “Let it Snow” Creativity Kit from Polly’s Paper Studio and fabulous ribbons from RRR.
I added loads of texture with stitching, red burlap, ribbon and trims. A vertical border was created with Poppy Red Satin Ribbon with Silver Edging. The soft sheen of the ribbon and the touch of sparkle are perfect for this card. And taffeta ribbon is so festive for the holidays, don’t you agree? My double loop bow is tied with Poppy Red Taffeta Ribbon and topped with a bit of black burlap string for contrast. The black vintage buttons are threaded with Red Burlap string that I tied into cute little bows.
I think this little girl and boy are sweet on one another! To pick up on the grey background, I tied a bow with Grey Plaid Ribbon. A red burlap string bow is layered beneath my vintage button.
Here’s a peeky at the inside of this card.
I love the way these pretty ribbons complete the vintage feel of these Snow Much Fun cards!
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful Kathy each one is different but all capture Christmas past. Love all the ribbons and burlap you have used and the images are so nostalgic. X
lovin’ these retro cards. I agree, the grey ribbon really complements the image on that second card.
Beautiful Kathy….love all your gorgeous details and perfect colors…the gray ribbon is so perfect for the card…love them all!!
Snow and hot chocolate just seem to go together. That first card just speaks volumes. I love the pictures that you chose, perfect as usual.
We are still having rain up here in Victoria, and the wind storm was amazing yesterday.
Love your work Kathy!
Kathy, both of these cards are just so nostalgic and full of holiday details. I love to look in every nook and cranny and I love that red and gray–such an unexpected color palette for Christmas, but works so well! Your work is always such a joy to look at and so perfectly executed! Does your creative mind ever take a break???! Big hugs!
Not sure if my comment went through.
These are just wonderful Kathy!! “snow much fun”…haha, you’re a hoot! I love these images, and I think I almost melted when I saw the grey and red colour palette. I am so stealing that, ahem, I mean borrowing that! You really do create the most amazing holiday cards Kathy, thanks for the inspiration! HUGS 🙂
