Christmas Thank You

This CAS card with a Taylored Expressions Nativity Border is a quick card to thank some friends for their Christmas gifts to my husband, my 4 children and me. It was quick and easy to make but looks pretty and can be mass produced for our Christmas thank you cards to the grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc. We are very blessed to have so many generous and caring people in our lives, and we want to be sure everyone knows we appreciate them. My children are old enough to write their own thank you messages on the cards, so I usually pass around several at a time at the dining and each child writes a personal note on each card for the friends and relatives who got something for each of them.
This is an A2 card base, and I simply die cut the lovely Taylored Expressions Nativity border in a matching color of cardstock and adhered it with glue tape. Then I tied some twine on the bottom and added a Making Memories "Thank you" embellishment. That's it!
I'm planning to enter this card in the following challenges:
  • A Snowflakes Promise 2W, E3, Must be Christmas/winter themed #13 - Anything Goes with a Winter or Christmas Theme (Week 2)
  • Cardz 4 Guyz W, 3E - #101 - Anything But Square
