This year, I had the brilliant (yeah right!) idea of making my own Christmas cards. I don't know why I got it into my head that I would have time to be crafty, but once I started, I was committed until the bitter end. Since Adam and I could not send our Save the Dates this Fall, we agreed that a Christmas card that doubled as a Save the Date was the perfect solution.
For my Christmas cards, I used card stock, envelopes included, that I had purchased at Hobby Lobby for practically nothing. I had a couple different patterns of Christmas scrapbook paper that I cut into small rectangles. Add a little ribbon and a little sparkle, and you've got a Christmas card!

For the inside of the card, I had a stamped message and a candy cane. Super easy.
Adam and I found the perfect template this summer to make our own Save the Dates. We held off printing them until we were sure we had the perfect picture. Once our engagement photos were in, we added our favorite to the template, printed them on photo paper, and added adhesive magnetic sheets to the back.

| $9.99 at Hobby Lobby. I was able to fit about 22 per sheet. |

Now our family and friends will have a cute little magnet to put on their fridge : )
Wow good for you for making your own cards! I'm sure they will mean a lot to people knowing you put all that time into making them! Love your save the dates as well...adorable picture! :)
