John and I recently reflected that we moved to Texas about a year ago to begin this home building process. In some respects it has gone much slower than we expected, but then again, we aren’t people who like to be rushed. And it took a while to decide exactly where we wanted to place the house and which home builder (we interviewed 5) we wanted to hire.
As we were getting closer to the Thanksgiving holiday, I realized that some folks might still send Christmas cards to our old address at the lodge and wanted to get our moving cards signed and sent. And we almost got them all out before Thanksgiving! ☺️
I made the cards using A2 fold over cards and envelopes from Paper Source. The map paper also came from Paper Source, which I used as a background for the card and also as an envelope liner. The die cut of the US was purchased off Etsy. Other than that, it was simply a matter of printing the card stock, cutting and gluing…. 75 cards.
Actually, making the cards was easy. Signing all 75 of them and prodding John to sign them as well was more challenging. About 25 of the cards even went cruising with us to the Caribbean!
I know I’m old fashioned (in lots of ways), but I still like receiving and sending cards that are actually signed. And hopefully the hand made nature of the cards will be a little more special to people as well.
What do you think? Is this too old fashioned in today’s digital age? Let me know below! And thanks for stopping by!
