How to Make a Fun and Easy Christmas Card!

One of my favorite things to do is create frames for my cards especially when I find Designer Series Paper I love and want to make the centerpiece of the card!

The ice-skating Santa and Mrs. Claus is one of the those images I had to turn into the focus of a card and it was SO CUTE I wanted to frame it, just like a picture. Now, of course, you can do this with creating your own photo cards too but grab some of your favorite Designer Series Paper and try this card idea!
