This cards is really simple and can be used for an everyday card (birthday, thank you, best wishes, etc.) as well as a holiday card! The greeting used is from the new stamp set "Heard From the Heart" which includes a Christmas greeting as well. Here I did the greeting in Kiwi Kiss to make it subtle, however my guests did it in Chocolate Chip and it looked great!
