I can always justify my numerous magazine subscriptions not only for the visual inspiration they provide, but also for their free gifts. With the November issue 123 of Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine, they have a lovely paper set by Jennifer Ellory in shades of blue and gray.
Now it just so happens that I have a bunch of small envelopes in a silver metallic paper that match perfectly. Allowing for the size of my envelopes, I used the paper and made 8 small cards measuring 9 x 12 cm. Not bad actually, when you consider that this is roughly half my Christmas card list. To keep my postage costs down, I've kept embellishments to a light weight minimum.
Inside, I've used a greeting in both English and French and finished up with a bit of the matching paper each card was made with.
