Quick & Easy Holiday Photo Cards

Welcome to the final day of the Papertrey Ink September countdown and the second design team group post day. Today's group post is all about the new Instant Photo products. Christmas cards will never be the same!  This stamp and die collection turns photos into personalized treasures.  I love how easy it was to whip these two projects up!

Here's what I've got for you today...
First up the pocket card, created using the Instant Photo Pull dies.  The photos I've chose for today's post are not your typical Christmas card type, I was having a little fun when creating these cards. I went clean, simple and modern with this one.  Just the way I like them.  I'm seriously considering this design for the year 2013.
I first stamped the sentiment (from Instant Photo: Holiday) and then layered the hanging ornaments (from Holiday Cheer).  I love how the insert adds a nice pop of color, completing the limeade ice, aqua mist and smokey shadow color combo.
The insert was die cut from aqua mist pattern paper, a nice contrast from the white pocket.
"To You and Yours" completes the inside.  I created the phrase using a sentiment from the Instant Photo: Holiday set and replaced the "and" with an ampersand from the Grand Ampersand set.
Here's a simple photo card, created using the One Liner dies.  To switch things up I chose to work with a 5" square photo.
Instead of extending the die cut across the entire bottom edge of the card I opted to utilized just the "Peace" portion.
I balanced out the "Peace" by finishing the sentiment in the opposite corner using two small strips.  Finished the card off with a couple rhinestone holly berries and pattern paper leaves (using the Holly Jolly dies).

Well, that's all I've got for you today. Just remember...  Instant Photo products, Holiday Cheer and Grand Ampersand will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning September 15th

Now, be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today...
