My mom asked me to create a simple invitation for the annual holiday luncheon that is hosted by her office. We wanted it to be more "winter" themed than specific to any one holiday and I love how it turned out. It could easily be adapted to anyone's winter or holiday party.
Jackie's Holiday Card - 2012
Jackie had a busy year and wanted to share it with her friends and family. A photo collage was what we came up with!
This card can be purchased in my Etsy shop as well. Want to customize it? Shoot me an email and we can discuss the details.
Our Holiday Card - 2012
2012 was kind of a crazy year for us. We were acclimating to living in a new state (one with real winter!) and we were traveling like mad knowing that the following year our son would be starting school. We wanted our holiday card to showcase all of the fun trips we took and a collage of polaroid photos was our final result.
You can barely see the passport stamps I added to the edges here.
I printed these with VistaPrint and I was really happy with how the turned out.
Tim Colbert & Associates Holiday Card - 2011 & 2012
I had a blast working on this fun holiday card for a firm in northern California. They work with clients in the dairy industry, hence the milk references.
This simple message was on the inside of the folded card:
The following year we changed up the colors and fonts a little bit, but kept the same overall look.
Our Holiday Card - 2011
When my family first moved from southern California to Utah, our son had just turned two and we were excited and a little apprehensive about moving to a place with a real winter... you know, the kind where it snows and the temperature might go below 50°!
I wanted our holiday card that year to reflect our new home and I thought of the card I sent in 2008. We didn't have an opportunity to take any family photos, so I created a watercolor painting of the three of us and printed them on watercolor paper on my trusty HP printer.
For the back, I just happened to take a lovely photo of our son admiring an ornament on my grandmother's Christmas tree a few weeks before Christmas. It worked!
I totally scrounged together whatever pieces of scrap card stock I had to print these too. Some had purple card stock, some had navy blue, some had a lighter blue. And I just changed the color of the text on the back to fit with the card stock. I even used leftover envelopes I had from a previous project.
It was created last minute and in a bit of a rush, but it's still one of my favorite holiday cards that we've mailed.
