our 09 holiday cards.

I had no inspiration for holiday cards this year until a box of neon yellow translucent envelopes arrived at the store. "BRIGHT" I thought and the cards were born.

I designed the text in PSE (font is Pharmacy) and printed at home on light gray cardstock. Because my printer will not do borderless printing, I trimmed them after to fit inside the envelope. I left the dot off the "i" and used a star stamp with silver embossing powder to add something besides text to the card.

We hand wrote a note and our names at the bottom and off they went towards the unsuspecting eyeballs of the mailman.

Be merry. Be bright. Happy Christmas.

    I SAW those envelopes at PS and was wondering about them! I had to resist buying them at this time, as I already had quite the large tab collecting in my arms!
    looks great, and I LOVE pharmacy font…I recently used it for a fun wedding project I worked on

    Awesome. I saw those envelopes and was totally intimidated by them — love what you did. by the way, two of your photos in the sidebar are showing a photobucket error message.
