Traditions of Christmas

Christmas cards are fun to make, to give, and to receive. Last week we made a card on our YouTube LIVE that featured the beautiful Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper. It is an absolutely gorgeous pack of paper, Unfortunately, it is currently out of stock but is predicted to be back in stock in late November. Grab a pack (or two) when it comes back in stock.

Anyway, on my LIVE there was quite a bit of debate about which sentiment to use on the card. There were two primary choices. The viewers were split down the middle as to whether to use the big sentiment of the small sentiment. As with most things, there were pros and cons to each one.

The Choices

The viewers in favor of the big sentiment really liked the gorgeous die that the sentiment is on. That sentiment comes from the Traditional Labels stamp set and is part of the bundle that includes the pretty die. That bundle, the DSP and other coordinating products make up a large suite called Traditions of Christmas (the same as the paper).

Now, those in favor of the smaller sentiment wanted a smaller sentiment because they didn’t want to hide the gorgeous DSP. One side of each DSP in the pack has pretty gold accents. It is hard to hide such pretty DSP even if the die that the sentiment is on is awesome.

What’s Your Vote?

So, where do you fall? Do you prefer the larger sentiment of the smaller one? I would love to know. You can leave a comment below with your vote. If you would like to watch the replay of the LIVE you can do that here.
